My silly neighbor

[NPloysa]

So the apartments here comprise of 4 building surrounding a parking lot. The building to the west, which runs "perpendicularly" to mine has a guy living in it with a lifted sport 1500 Ram V8.



I move in 2 years ago with my 99 reg cab 2500 Ram CTD. I sold it, as you know, and bought a bike.



Then, neighbor boy buys a cruiser bike, and then I recently buy the 06 megacab 2500 Ram CTD. Kind of like an unspoken game of "who has the coolest toys. "



So, now we're tied, lol. I never talk to him, never have, never will. I don't seem to get along with cruiser-types wearing no riding gear.

Nick I have a dorky neighbor just like yours. I keep him working triple shifts though just to keep up... . LOL. I bought a second Dodge diesel, a Corvette, a GMC 2500, a Harley Sportster, and now a new 2007 Ninja F14, and Im bidding on an older Camaro Iroc Z on Ebay now. I bet he is still making payments on his 5 inch stacks and aftermarket wheels trying to be like me. Its a real comedy watching people try to be like me. I was the first guy in my small community with a bombed CTD and now I think in the town of less than 4000 people there are about 8 or 9 trucks that are wanna be bad trucks that actually think they have a snowballs chance in hell of comparing to mine. I have tried to get them to join TDR and learn about the truck before they start talking crap but they have chosen to be all mouth and no show. I even asked one recently what he had done and he rambled on about Banks this and that and his aftermarket K&N and his TST chip, and blah blah blah before I told him to open his hood and I shut him down quick. First his truck is a 96 12 valve that has a Banks sticker on the radiator support and NO sign of any Banks equipment, his K&N filter was nasty and in a stock air box, and everyone knows a TST box doesnt plug and play in a 12 valve truck. However he still defended his "equipment" so I challenged him to a small race on a back road. He wins I pay him 100 bucks and if I win he owes me nothing..... and I would give him a 3rd gear start meaning when I heard him shift to 3rd I would finally go. This stretch of road is about 3 1/2 miles one way straight with no hills and we agree to go down and back. I actually gave him until 4th gear before I took off gently and I passed him within half the road and was putting on my jake brake before he was 1/3 the way back. I wish all these morons who think they need to be like me and think they know everything would just take advice or at least open their eyes to reality. Good luck with your neighbor!

 

[OKish]

how did you retrofit a jake brake to your cylinder head? i would love to have a compression brake myself.

Jacobs exhaust brake.



I seem to have started a trend with stacks around here. There are several 2nd gens and one 1st gen with miter tops. Most are 6". Several of them are BOMBed, but don't know with what for sure. One BOMBed 3rd gen with a 6" tip around here too. Haven't seen him since I got back from Goerends with the new transmission a year or 2 ago.
