Q (from Aimee): My question (and excuse if I missed this post): Have you ever driven one of PK’s rigs on a roadtrip or are you always the passenger? Do you have any desire to drive such large mechanical beasts on long, open roads?

A (from Me): Hi Aimee! Good question. The answer is…no. Emphatically. No, no, never, no. Let’s do keep in mind that Poor Kyle’s “rig” consists of a Ford F-number-50 and a 52 foot-long wedge trailer. Nothing too ridiculous like a Peterbilt with a sleeper in back, or a “Kenworth hauling logs.” (I’ll give 10 points to the first person who knows from whence that quote originated.)

Poor Kyle, he loves this rig. Sometimes I suspect he loves it more than me…sometimes he admits it.

Though if we’re being honest (and we always are here at AoOL), Poor Kyle would give his two front teeth for a flat-top Pete with a queen-sized sleeper in back, complete with a fridge, microwave, and plasma TV.

{Good thing he has no front teeth to give, or I’d be in huge trouble.}

But back to the very important matter at hand. I have had occasion to drive the Fnumber50 once or twice since its purchase in February of this year. However, I married a man who cares–really, truly cares–about his posessions. And though I know he wouldn’t mind if I took his truck out for a drive every day, I know I would be ultra paranoid about…well…messing it up.

Add that paranoia to the fact that hauling trailers absolutely terrifies me, and you’ve got the world’s worst match as a wife for Poor Kyle.

I do, however, make a fairly excellent passenger. Nobody works the seat-warmer like I work the seat-warmer. Nobody.
