Don't be embarrassed if you have Ricky Bobby moments. My husband is in the process of teaching me since all I know how to do is reverse and 1st. A few weeks ago he let me take one of our trucks for a spin and we're going about everything is smooth and then he kicks it up in 3rd because I was having troubles finding it. I feel the truck take off and everything seemed like it was whizzing right past us so I'm in the drivers seat saying,"Oh shit, oh shit, we're going too fast" and he's sitting right behind me on the bunk laughing and goes,"We're only going 5 miles an hour."

Honestly, everything feels much faster up there. There's so much going on when you're up there- the seat moving, the cabin flexing, loud engine, the 10 cars behind you honking, and the ultimate fear that you're going to wreck someones $30,000 + truck.
