When I was a young boy I was obsessed with trucks. My father was friendly with a local rigger and we visited his yard. It was heaven with trucks, cranes, and machinery all over. But the centerpiece was his heavy hauler Peterbilt with a large multi axle lowboy trailer. He put me in the driver's seat and I vividly remember that arched "corvette" dash covered in shiny polished gauges and switches and the high up view. Felt like I was sitting atop a building. I wanted to be a trucker! Well it don't quite work out that way but still to this day I have a great appreciation for them and went to a few antique truck shows. I even bought a 1961 MAck B61. It's a slow yet fun resto hobby. Everything is massive and takes considerable effort to manipulate.
