As a dad of two, I've experienced it. Many parents turn that few-minute period of dropping their kids off at school into a competition: whose car is newer, nicer, better. It might be superficial nonsense but when you're being judged by a flock of wealthy suburbanite parents, even the least superficial of us can eventually get defensive. If you want to dominate the morning school parking lot and shut those nosey Escalade-drivers up, there's a customized four-door [Peterbilt]() for sale right now. This 2017 Peterbilt Bolt Ultra was converted from a working semi-truck to a seven-seat luxury truck and, if you have $349,900, you can currently buy it on[ *Facebook Marketplace*](). Don't think it's gone soft since its conversion, though. This Peterbilt is still a workhorse, it's just one that can fit all of your kiddos in supreme comfort, while scaring the snot out of anyone in its path. ![]() **Facebook** ![]() **Facebook** ![]() **Facebook** ![]() **Facebook** ![]() **Facebook** Under its massive, imposing, minivan-intimidating hood is a 12.9-liter Paccar MX-13 straight-six diesel engine with 485 horsepower and 1,600 lb-ft of torque. Gearshifts are handled by an Eaton ten-speed UltraShift automatic. While it's no longer a working truck, without the need to haul 30,000 pounds of cargo, its air-ride hitch and bumper hitch are still capable of just that. Speaking of air ride, it has an air-ride cab, which keeps the cabin and its seven passengers nice and comfy. But there's also air-ride front and rear suspension, adding an another layer of waft. ![]() **Facebook** ![]() **Facebook** ![]() **Facebook** ![]() **Facebook** ![]() **Facebook** Inside that wafty cabin is seating for seven people. Behind the two front seats are two captain's chairs, which provide each of their occupants with what looks like three feet of leg room. Behind those two passengers is a bench seat that looks like it can fit three adults pretty easily, though they don't get the palatial legroom of the second-row folks. However, the third row is essentially a fouton as it folds flat into a bed for sleeping. Above the passengers, in their almost infinite headroom, are recessed lights, speakers, and eight storage cabinets, making good use of the Peterbilt's massive roofline. ![]() **Facebook** ![]() **Facebook** ![]() **Facebook** ![]() **Facebook** At $349,900, this converted Peterbilt is incredibly expensive and there are many jealousy-inducing choices for the school run at that price point. But whoever buys this four-wheeled luxury semi-truck likely already has a [Rolls-Royce Cullinan]() or [Bentley Bentayga ]()at home and wants something a bit stranger for special occassions. Or maybe they just want something that will make every SUV and minivan driver in town cower in fear. *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
