What nostalgia when I think of the romantic truck drivers of the past: smiling, in tank tops, with their elbows out in summer and winter, ready to help you change the whole set of tires, punctual in signaling a patrol you were approaching with their headlights, enthusiastic about flirting with all the women, including your girlfriend.
