Not quite, though I always wanted to be a firefighter.
OTOH...
A few years ago I had a girlfriend who was (and is) a train junkie. For her birthday, I took her to our local Train Junkie / Locomotive Museum and got the tour package that allowed us to 'drive' a steam engine up and down a mile long track a few times. We never went more than 20 mph I'd guess, but it was FREAKIN' AMAZING to be in semi-control of all those tons of mass and power. The train was a beauty too.
I've gone way too fast on some motorcycles, but this was probably just as exciting. :D
