Hardest thing i've driven was a semi, when my dad owned one, way back when.

Turning, backing up, not a problem. Highway driving, fine.

Up and down steep hills? Thats fucking rough. But its more a matter of getting use to the gearing then anything else. But, I drove it very little. A few hundred miles at most. Im sure with a little work, it would be fine.

I learned to drive 966d loaders, dump trucks, backhoes at work. Easy as fuck, they drive themselves. I have not, however, a clue how to use the Crane truck, i've never been in it. But I am licensed for overhead cab cranes from work. Forklifts, bobcats, all that crap. Love it, and operate it all quite well.

Quads, dirtbikes, streetbikes, sleds... Not a problem. I can tear shit up on two wheels.

But I cant fucking drive a car for shit, and I fully admit it. If I had a really fast car, i'd be dead in days. Fine with a half ton truck. But I will never, ever figure out how to safely operate a car.

Same here. However, my trailer-backing skills suck because I haven't practiced it enough.

Where's shmike when you need him?

Guys fully admit to not being able to back up a trailer and it's no big deal. A woman admits it? Oohh no....it's because she's a woman.

Oh and I purposefully wrote vagine. It's like the french way to say VaginA!
