I drove a Kenworth to my senior prom, then again my friends and I are kinda weird. I also pulled two farmall H tractors (54 and a 56) to within about a mile so two of my friends and their dates could take a tractor to prom.
Scary thing is the six of us were not the only weird ones. One kid drove a dump truck (late 60's chevy with a 5 yard box) and there was one other big rig but he was bobtailing.
Then again lifted trucks were also much more common then cars in the parking lot that night.
