Yahoo Finance These Lil' Big Rigs Are The Hottest Thing on Six Wheels
One of our favorite ways to pass the time during the lengthy road trips of our childhood was the semi-honk test. You know what we're talking about - pumping our arms up and down to try to get the nearest passing big-rig driver to honk their loud horn.
These days, we've found better ways to entertain ourselves on the open road, but the fascination with semi trucks remains. And thanks to the genius behind these adorable mini big rigs from Nashville, TN, we're one step closer to satisfying that curiosity. The best part about these semi trucks? They don't require you to have a commercial driver's license. So basically anyone with a driver's license (and some extra room in their budget) can live the life of a road dog.
Just look at how cute this little guy is compared to a real truck:
The masterminds behind the "Lil Big Rig," Bob Suffern and his daughter Jessica Freeman, theoretically shrunk traditional semi trucks down to the size of a pickup, but didn't spare the mini machines of the bells and whistles associated with bigger versions. As you can see, the trucks come equipped with a grill and all of the turn-key accessories needed to make a statement.
"You can't even go to the gas station without getting a reaction," Suffern told the Daily Mail. "There are always people coming up to you asking you questions and finding out where they can get one."
But the flashy vehicle comes with a hefty price tag: $65,000 or more depending on which special features you want.
Some of Suffern's most loyal customers are actually retired truck drivers, who probably wanted the feeling of having a big rig again, with the convenience of parking it in their garage.
