I have never driven a big rig, unless you count an International High Cube delivery van I drove for two summers, delivering furniture for J.C.Penny some 30 odd years ago. I might be able to dig up a picture of that... However, I do have a 1:1 vehicle I am quite proud of. It's called the Pirate Mobile by many, though her real name is Shannon. She is a 1995 Isuzu Trooper with some personalization including Old Man Emu suspension, HAM radio, blue neon throughout, and upgraded sounds.
She's no show winner, but she is mine and I love her.

However, driving Shannon to work was getting expensive, so I bought a 1990 Volkswagen Jetta for the gas mileage. The car was from a young kid and needed a paint job, however I did not want to spend the money to have it painted. So I digital camo'd it - with lots of help from my wife. It has become quite famous around town - even Google caught it on their street maps - you can find it here (http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=h&layer=c&cbll=38.22349,-85.76356&panoid=HBI6D1iWfAdRdwONQGgkrw&cbp=1,228.94989030243448,,0,16.40556230078062&ll=38.227309,-85.76256&spn=0.010164,0.018454&z=16 http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=h&layer=c&cbll=38.22349,-85.76356&panoid=HBI6D1iWfAdRdwONQGgkrw&cbp=1,228.94989030243448,,0,16.40556230078062&ll=38.227309,-85.76256&spn=0.010164,0.018454&z=16).
Thanks for looking!
