I wanted to tell my wife that this followed me home...can I keep it?

This is parked on the next block. The last few years there has been a company tractor parked there. This showed up in it's place yesterday. People could square dance in the back of it! It even has a rear door to the sleeper. My question is: when a trailer is hooked to this, how would a driver ever be able to turn a corner at a intersection?

My daughter would love the truck. Says it reminds her of Optimus Prime.

Something happened a couple of weeks ago, and I hope it's not the start of something new. I94 between Chicago and Milwaukee is about 10 miles west of where I live. There is a place out on the frontage road where a company has a trucking busness. The back of the lot is full of Schneider semi's. There are tractors, trailers, and some where the trailers are hooked to the tractors. There was a theft there that night of a Miller beer truck which had $24,000.00 of beer loaded in it. That truck and a fully loaded Schneider truck were stolen. It wasn't said what was in the Schneider truck. They were stolen by 3 white guys (must have been on camera), what they left behind were 2 stolen tractor-trailer rigs that were stolen out of Illonois. (sp) Have not heard about anyone getting caught. The Schneider rig could just blend in with the traffic on the interstate, but how are they going to hide a semi that's all painted up with Miller beer logos, etc?
