I'd rather keep the money because I really don't have the desire to buy a new car, which is ironic since I have a CDL and drive our semi trucks sometimes. They're fun to drive because you sit so high up and they're RWD. They actually feel pretty fast if you're driving bobtail since they're 400 HP and 2000 lbs of torque, despite having a 16000 lb curb weight.
I transferred to a new site so I haven't driven a day cab in a couple months.Β I've driven diesel and CNG Volvos, CNG Freightliners, and diesel Peterbilts, and the diesel Volvo is my favorite to drive. CNGs in general suck for parking since they actually idle forward when in reverse and you have to give them quite a bit of gas to get them moving.Β Peterbilts have nice interiors but the mirrors are a little small. Volvos IMO have the best mirrors and the tightest turning radius. Another thing, semi trucks look way bigger in person when you're standing right next to one; they're 65-70 feet long which is longer than a house.

How large they are in person
