We are writing the ultimate Diesel short story.



... to the story, let's see where it travels to if anywhere...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



He walked around it twice. All shiny and black sitting on the lot. He was picking out his first pickup truck. He liked the sound of this one, it had a badge on the fender that said Cummins, he wondered what that meant,

 

[JoelMartin]

He took it for a test drive and realized it meant; adios Powerjoke and Durapuke.

 

[JDiepstra]

Back at the dealership he went inside to begin the negotiations. He knew he would pay almost any price, but with diesel prices high, he was going for a great deal.

 

[daytripper63]

When he asked what the C badge on the front fender was for the clueless sales person replied "It means it's got a Cummins Hemi" :-laf

 

[catoiler]

Upon the test drive the man asks the salesman, what is this strange feeling? it's as if someone is pushing me back in my seat when I step on the gas, my Ford nor Chevy never did this, is their something wrong with it? no replied the all knowing salesman it has the mighty Cummings in it!

 

[AMink]

He then asked, "What is the final gear ratio difference between the G56 and the 68RE and how does it affect towing and mileage?" The salesman kind of hemmed and hawed, finally saying he'd "have to look that up".

 

[kowaliga]

'. . and too' the naive young man questioned, 'do all of these C-trucks ride so harshly?' 'I mean,for north of $35k, those Chinese-made shocks and I-beam rigid leafs are a gyp!' 'Has anybody ever reproduced after driving these things more then eight or ten feet?', he moaned as he hand-cradled his 'specialty items'.

 

[catoiler]

Then the salesman told him to man up and take them out of the freezer and put them back on!

 

[p-Bar]

with his huevos back on the young man asked what kind of trade could you give on my Tundra?

 

[kowaliga]

'Let me talk with my manager, Mr. Legree, why don't you wait in our customer center and have a glass of our free water', and out he bounded to the sound of the P. A. system paging the Dodge factory rep.

 

[catoiler]

And the Dodge rep says to him, sir I'm sorry to tell you but we are canceling your warranty for having a set of gauges on your truck as surely they caused your trans to go out.

 

[ACoyle]

Well, it was a tough day, but, the truck is home. He parked it where he could see it from the bedroom. Couple times during the night, he went out and started it just to listen to it.



All was happy with the world, till the nect day when he drove to work, at a red light - WOW! another Dodge, what are those two long chrome pipes comming out of the bed, why so much black smoke, I coulden't keep up with hiim iff the line, but, I did see a decal in the back wiindow T. . Is ther more here than I had thought about?

 

[JoelMartin]

As he parked his truck at work he noticed that same Dodge with the pipes parked at the service department. He saw the owner by his truck so he walked up to him. "Hi! Nice truck you have! Why does it smoke so much?"

 

[kowaliga]

'Sonny, that's for me to know and you to find out', the old red-neck spat his chaw, splashing thick brown slickness on his new white socks. '. . but I'll give you a hint. . those Micky D's you shove down that fat goozle of yours. . well, lets just say that my truck has its colon on its outside'. Befuddled, our new diesel owner turned to witness his new 6. 7 begin an EGT-regen. as it idled in the service bay. The last thing he remembered was the explosion of the ISUZU parked next to his exhaust pipe.

 

[C. Harlan]

Nervously, he began to second think the decision he made, saw a whited out '04. 5 3500 4x4 4 door with a NV5600 sitting on the lot... He quickly offered his truck back, and said he would rather have a truck that is not all choked up with emissions BS. . Happy, he went on down the road in his decked out USED truck... .

 

[Missouri Mule]

When he came to a stop light there was the red-neck in stacked CTD. When the lght turned green his Decked out CTD (and unknown to him Bombed) blew the red-neck truck away.

 

[WKruger]

Sitting in awe, the red-neck wondered who the heck that was.

 

[kowaliga]

As the red-neck disappeared in the black and blue fog of soot and burned rubber, the 4. 5, accidently launched in 3rd 4x4, quickly spun the New Venture into a steel swizzle stick and ejected it into the slipstream of the formerly massive Toyo 37's, now reduced to Bridgestone 265's.

 

[Missouri Mule]

Looking for the owner's manual he opens the center console compartment and there on the inside cover to his amazement there was the decal with the "T"... . TDR, Turbo Diesel Register, Number one resource for the Dodge Turbo Diesel Owner, TDR1.com (but what a funny shape). Maybe they could help him put his truck back together after all it was faster than his 08 and the red neck with stacks truck.

After missing 3 house payments buying parts to bomb it, and talking his girlfriend into taking a second job, he finally had enough parts to make his sweet ride roar like thunder. Passing was no longer a problem as people took to the shoulder when the great black cloud came pouring out his pipes.
