i had a little fun on the way home this evening with a ford diesel, i had just picked up a 1500# pallet of slate on the way home cruising down the big mississippi river bridge in the left lane and i see a crew cab 6. 0 on the loupe from plaquemine about to merge into the interstate, i am at 65-70 and stay in the left lane so he can get on and pass me and i can get into the right lane for my exit a few miles down the road, i check my mirror and he's not dropping back or really gaining but after a few seconds i see him draw up even with me and hold out of the corner of my eye, i look over and he's looking across my cab at the gauge pod and smiling, hmmm this looks like fun, i give him a couple seconds and hammer it up to the governor which doesn't take more then a few seconds to reach with my 4. 10s and to my surprise yonder ford is a memory, i back off to about 75 for the flyby so i can get over and he draws even again, consider it hammered, once again i loose the ford but this time i merge to the right as my exit is getting close, hmmm maybe the beast has more balls then i thought, oh for another gear to grab :-laf

Ya gotta love the quick-short bursts with the 4. 10's. Ya maybe won't get 'em in the 1/4, but ya can really embarrass 'em on at the speeds you were at.
