I've also come to realize that I just don't drive long distances hardly ever anymore, so top speed is really not a consideration so long as it can actually drive on the highway (even at a lower speed). I, too, have had a hankering for another larger truck for a while. That said, it had its own level of fun and the kids miss it. The Kenworth wasn't a very good truck and I was happy to see it go. So, I did the "practical" decision and bought the Kenworth. Basically something that could, potentially, have a use actually driving on a distance longer than around town. At the time, I decided that I wanted the semi for a few reasons - one being having a top speed higher than 55, another being having the extra space of a sleeper cab. In fact, when I bought the semi truck a few years ago, I had also been considering a military 5-ton. The old military trucks (deuce-and-a-halves and 5-tons) are naturally appealing and always have been. But I also like capability and, as you all know, I do some unusual things to make up for living the first 20 years of my life in the concrete jungle (New York City). The odder it is, the more attracted I am to it in many cases. It's no secret that I like weird and unusual vehicles.
