thats the whole point, LOL. i love it when someone comes up to ya and says "is that your white truck with the stacks? did you know it sounds like a big rig?" :-laf
 
I had a person complain that he couldn't hear his truck run when it was sitting next to mine and he wasn't impressed!!!! It seems the Idiot was sitting there with the engine running on his brand-X gasser and had hit the starter and got the "ole zing" as the bendix took a hit. I returned fire by telling him that if he'd bought a REAL truck he would have known that it was running.
 
I finnaly got to use the TDR 2nd Gen BELt Squeal Line



I shut er down and A Guy said well there it went Now its junk ... He WAs Being 100% serious ...

"sir can you please shut your truck off so I can order"



"ma'am can you please order Im hungry" :-laf

that's hilarious :)

Had the same thing last year when I went to CA to go have fun with my Jeep at Johnson Valley ... give it a little gas (or should I say diesel ;)) going uphill and there'd be some black smoke ENAT ... see people's looks :eek:

Nothing to be proud of, but it does happen once in a while :-laf
 
At one of the local McD's they will not take my order unless I shut her down. I say, "I can't hear you. Can you please speak a little louder?" :D
 
about a 3 months ago when it was warm:). i was at lunch and bored, so i decided to hop in the truck and take it down to the local carwash and give it a bath. its a relativly new car wash so i gets my a+. anywhay, im sitting right in front of the bay and waiting on this guy to get done washing his bmw. as hes washing im watching him keep shaking his head. i figured he was going to say something. and sure enough he did... he stops washing, puts the wand into the holder, and walks up beside my truck. i roll the window down and he asks me if i could shut my truck off while i wait. it wasnt that polite though... i looked right back at him and told him unless u wanna pay for my diesel, (a little soot)(he didnt know that) to turn around and get that piece of shiet washed. he turned around hopped in his car and drove off, with soap and all still on it. i kinda expected the police to show back up with him, but never did. .



one more...

sitting at the gas station trying to get to the diesel pump for 15 min. waiting on a gas powered tree removal service to move there truck away from the diesel pump :(. finally some one moved but now i needed to back in to get to the drivers side filler neck. so i procede to whip it and start to back in. just at that time a lexus pulls in and stops just short of the pump im going to. my blood pressure started to rise as i can see that the lexus is trying to do (steal the pump im trying to get to) she started to move forward and at that point i figured id let her know im here and trying to back up. so 5x5 and a firm left foot on the brake and right foot soot pedal. day turned to night at the gas station and she backed up immediatly. so i pull in and begin to fuel up. 2 min later she comes over to me as im at the pump, truck still running. complaining how i almost hit here and on and on... i just held up my hand to my ear and said. . i cant hear u! i laughed for 10 min after she walked away so disgusted... it was truly great. .
 
Ya gotta love the noise these things make...



When I pulled into a toll plaza, the attendant looked up from her register at me, said "whoops", turned back to the register and hit a few keys, then turned back and said, "I had the wrong toll entered. I heard you pulling up and thought you were a semi. "



That made my day.

Yeah, I always get werd looks from people at the local shoping center. They hear my truck and look at me like im crazy but they don,t take a 2nd look at some Escalade with 24 inch rims and a stereo turned up so loud the whole town can here :rolleyes:Oh well some poeple have good taste some don,t :cool:
 
Yep... ... . truck sat in 8 hrs of 20* or colder weather last night..... no heater grids :rolleyes: :{ and yeah she DID NOT want to start.



First time I almost thought I was gonna be stranded because the truck wouldn't start in the cold..... took 4 good LONG cranks on the starter with the fuel pedal to floor to get 'er to fire up! The first 3 attempts white smoke was POURING out of the stacks and across the parking lot..... very very thick white smoke! :eek:



Two of my older female co-workers were coming out of work on my 4th attempt to start the truck and it finally started catching so I couldn't let off the pedal so yeah..... even more smoke :eek: the ladys walked through the smoke cloud then turned around and looked at me as the motor was starting to catch and hollered "is it gonna blow up?" :-laf



Motor finally caught and started up... . kept my foot in 'er and got 'er going and I just hollered back "no she'll be alright" :-laf
 
My favorite one is "sir can you please turn your truck down" and my reply is always "can you help me find the mute button" HEHE :-laf
 
I was waiting at my local fueling station, the one with only one diesel island. When the car that was gassing up at the only island with diesel was done, I jumped in and backed in. When I was getting out of my truck to start filling er up, the dude in the mini van that was parked at the island behind me, came up, he did not look happy. He was from out of town, on vacation by the looks of it, he was pulling a little trailer. He looks at me all mean and says in a mean voice "I can't get out like this". Well I look at him, look at his little trailer pulling mini van and look at all the space behind him and I'm thinking. All he would have to do is back up strait 5 feet and he could easily get out. So I look him strait in the eyes, and I say "I'm sorry, let me pull up a little so you can get out". Well, his mean look went away and his face relaxed to almost a little smile. I jumped in my truck, pulled up a few feet, and he drove away happy. :cool:



Yea, I showed him. ;)
