Grumpy Old Lady

[Cummnzpowr]

yesterday morning when i made my usual rounds to pick up the high school friends of mine at the front of their apartment, I heard the grumbling of an old voice yelling somewhere in the background... . I thought hmmm wierd because i couldn't hear too well over the exhaust noise right. Then a scary {large} disgruntled elderly woman came up to my window and told me to shut that "noisy rattley,loudest car she ever heard off" when i come into the complex from now on. . Her poodle was springing 4 feet off the ground barking at me in the truck... i became worried but luckily she went back inside, boy was I rolling on the ground and thought what a funny thing to share with you guys... oh and since my stack points semi upwards and into her bedroom window where i park for a few minutes to wait for the young-un's... . Oh well... anybody else have a story like this?

My senior year of high school I would leave at lunch to go to a tech school. Well with 300* Camshaft duration and a single plane manifold you can imagine what the car idles like when its 20* outside and you first fire it up lol. The parking lot attendant always told me I either needed a tune up or to let my car warm up before I left lol. I got into trouble for to much noise at tech though. Backed into a huge concrete shop and cracked off 7000RPM through flowmasters. My teacher didn't care it was the one down the hall teaching a computer class that got me in trouble

SMOKE SHOW

Stack points right towards her window huh? Hmmm, well then, I think by all means you SHOULD turn your truck off every time you go into that complex... so you can give it the ol' half to three quarter throttle start and give her the SMOKE SHOW right in the window LOL! Maybe she'll come out and request you to leave it running instead. Do ya think?

I went to visit a friend at an apartment complex for the weekend and after I left there was a note on their door threatening eviction if I didn't keep the noise down.

Ever since the state closed down the nearby mental institution, you can see all kinds of kooks wandering around town.



There is one old, toothless crone who has taken to standing at a street corner bumming a ride, cigarettes, soliciting, or what ever.



About once a week, since before I got my Dodge/Cummins, I'd get stopped by that light and the crone would always ran out and tried to get into my truck!!



One day, after I got the Cummins, I arranged my trip so I'd get stopped at that light, hoping the crone would be there and run out to the truck. Sure enough, there she was. I made eye contact this time and smiled, so she would think I was interested. Out she ran, into the street, right when the light changed green, so I romped on it. Out billows the BLACK smoke and she disappeared from veiw.



Now, when I go past that intersection, the crone just stands on the sidewalk, until I'm gone from view.
