Pulled up on an ps today at The lights it turned green I hit the peddle moderetly and he punched it so I did the same even then I started pulling away then I let off he got a little ahead and I hit It again and caught him then he turned off and did not look happy so I waved and just smiled. I thought those PS were suppose to be hot. I have a va 4inch exhaust and K@N is that all it takes. We hit mabey 50 mph then had to let off because of traffic.

Stubbe, I love a good spanking story! Keep it up.
I used to control fighter aircraft in airspace right above ya... dogfighting. It was called the devils lake military operating area. Seems to have been a bunch of turkey farms out there. Still there? We ended up having to stay a few miles away from all turkey farms, or buy the turkeys. N. Dakota Air National Guard, had f101s, then f4s, don't know what they have now, probably a newer on like f15 or 16.

On the way back to Calgary I was pulling onto the hwy when a Ford pulled up and passed... the guy was making a stupid face at me. #ad

I just smiled. Then when I was in 4th and he was a length ahead of me I ripped past him up into 5th then 6th. Not even close. He had one of those lil banks logo's on his fender.

OOOPS

I only get into showing the power of this truck when I get mocked.

Me too! #ad
Twice! He had a huge "Fear This" in his window, I pulled up next to him and we both hammered it. At 80 and several lengths ahead (point made #ad
) I hear a "KA POW"... . all you bombers know that sound I'm sure... . CAC hose disconnect.

Reminder: Know what happens when you're making zero boost at 80mph and full fueling? SMOKE -- thick and black as night obliterated him in the rearview! #ad


#ad
Off the throttle immediately of-course, had enough momentum to make the exit w/o slowing beneath the speed limit then find a safe place to re-assemble .

I'm sure he thought I was smoking him on purpose...

That's what I get for not checking the hoses last oil change. The ones that were loose are directly under the oil filter and slippery from the ocassional drip.

I didn't have a 11mm long socket with me so I gently drove over to the dealer to borrow some tools after loosely reattaching the hose. Left a 30' dually burnout leaving the dealership to show my appreciation -- you know -- a 'fly-by'. #ad
Had a crowd of 12 mechanics checking it out when I made the second pass... guess they never saw a dually diesel lay rubber. I'm sure the mechanics got a kick out of it but the managers likely weren't happy (told the mechanics to check it out when I was leaving).

Hey Rob there might be one or two turkey farms left in the area but I know a few of them are gone because our lake is flooding. Just thought I would keep you posted.
 
Mark,as a moderator I thought you were supposed to be setting a good example for the rest of us... oh that's right ,you are #ad
. Keep up the good work. I'd love to know what the phord driver thought of you #ad

somehow the PSD's are avoiding me on the hwy... they're missing their chance, right now, unless the 5" has'em buffaloed #ad
--annoyed the carp out of some guys in a v6 pugeot (grab entertainment where ya can) on I-40 on Memorial Day... they'd pass me on the flats between Winslow and Flagstaff, (80 vs 70) but then the hills would drag them down to 50-ish,(high altitudes suck w/o a turbo) so eventually i'd catch'em @55-60 in 3rd and scream past (took a while to get past, what with that car on the flatbed'n'all) this happened about 3-4 times on different portions of the new,improved (?) Mother Road... i got a kick out of it, anyway---rich
 
Just got my truck last Friday... 667 miles on it already. A weekend trip to Bullhead Az. and back. Wow! What a truck! It doesn't even know what a steep grade is. Monday a PS owner, from the next street over, came by to admire and tell a few lies. We agreed to a pull up Cajon Pass after I get alittle more mileage on my truck. I told him I'd clean my rear view mirror so I could keep a eye on him if he needs help getting home.

I was helping out a friend by pulling a very big pressure warsher(10,000 lbs and 20,000psi). We convoyed and I was in the rear. We weren't playing around too much, we had already done that and he learned his lesson. The truck he was in was a 99 psd F350 club cab 10' flat bed. It was raining hard that day and we were going down I64 to Lousivlle when he slowed down and started smoking hard. We got off at the next exit which was close and checked the truck out. We figured that it sucked enough water up the intake to bend 2 rods. We ditched his trailer at a gas station and finshed the drive to Clarksville. Then we went back out in my truck and got the other trailor. It was still under warentee and the dealer fixed it. Later thet night we went out playin in the mud with my truck and had to cross 2 feet of moving water to get out, no problems. I didnt actually smoke him, but I did dround him.
Moral of the story. .
PSD's don't like water. #ad

I beat a new Audi last night and when they caught up to me the kid in the passenger seat was signaling the universal sign to blow my horn. I guess that 4" is doing it's job #ad


I was leaving work the other night and the guys that were on their smoke break said that, when I left last time, they could hear me all the way to the highway #ad
Thank you Jardine Performance!

I havn't gotten the pleasure of beating a Power Joke yet but my time will come #ad
