You know you are a diesel head when....

[HoleshotHolset]

1) Your 'new email message' alert sound is a 6BT starting up

2) You go out of your way to listen to/watch your truck being driven away by someone you REALLY trust... .

3) In the middle of a conversation... . a diesel will drive by and you blurt out the make and model... and sometimes even BOMBs... and your fellow conversationalist looks at you like you have a lobster on your head... .



Add more if you'd like... .

smell good

If you wonder why your woman doesn't smell as good as your Diesel truck?



If you worry more about KDP than you do about PMS!



When you would rather go for a ride in your truck than in her ... . oh! o! I may be getting carried away here!





:--)

 

[rich m]

When you're P. O. ed that the "global warming" doesn't get more pronounced after every BOMB run.



When you drive thru a town that has a "Noise Regulations Strictly Enforced" sign ,and you think "I need to make a decal for the fender above the exhaust outlet that says 'Noise Regulations Blatantly Violated'"

... when your wife knows more about diesels than most... ... ... .

[TORQUE THIS]

when you dump out your old spice cologne and re-fill it with #2

 

[DarrellB]

When you close all the overhead doors on the pole barn and start your truck when it's below 30* out side, just to smell the

32. (I sware I've never done that)



When your dog knows your home before you turn off the expressway.



When you kiss your girlfriend and she says "you smell like that damn truck again"



My Favorite; You can't wait to change the oil in your truck just so you can smell that SWEET Rotella.

[lgibson]

You get your best night sleep in a truck stop so you can hear all the diesels running.



You make a sound track of your truck so you don't have to drive to the truck stop for sleep.



You boycot all gas stations that don't sell diesel.



Over half of your time is spent reading this website, then running out to your truck to see if it pertains to you.



You have a Cummins dinnerware set, along with bed sheets.



You always have diesel grim under your finger nails from working/bombing your truck.

 

[LarryB]

After you take a leak there is a slight #2 sheen on the toilet water.

 

[Bigsaint]

When you live 7 miles from work, but drive 15, just to keep the motor happy.

... if you've ever drank diesel fuel on a bet or just to see what it tastes like...



... . if you wave or give thumbs up to complete strangers on the highway with CTD's...



... . you freeze to death in the winter time with your windows down just to hear the exhaust.



... . you are constantly looking in the passenger side mirror... . just to look at the soot.

... if ya smoke out a guy working in his yard and two women walking down the street (you know who you are)

 

[Mark_Kendrick]

. . You take pride in being solely responsible for a smog day.

. . You're hacked off when you dyno run shows ONLY a 1000ftlbs.

. . you see gasser pickups and wonder what they haul in those underpowered grocery getters

. . you lay in bed dreaming about rice burners in the right lane with their windows down:-laf

. . you buy your wife Cummins jewelry. . Hey, it was on Ebay





next!!!

 

[HoleshotHolset]

... . you have EVIL thoughts of putting locomotive engines into road-going vehicles... .

 

[BK]

you find yourself timing traffic lights so you can line up our tailpipe with the window of the little rollarskate cars... that have no other use than maybe getting a pair of them to use as ramps when you want to work on your CTDRam.

 

[JR2]

If half your t-shirts say "Got Diesel" or have a Diesel Dynamics Logos on them... .



If your girlfriend now wants a diesel so you will spend more time with her.



If all the men in your family own a Dodge CTD (yup me, my bro and Dad all have em. . ).



If the first thing your friends ask is... so what did you do to the truck this time...

 

[KatDiesel]

You listen to every locomotive you come near, whether idling or running under power.





Love the sound of idling locomotives, even if the air "dump" is distracting

 

[me4osu]

You see a guy with an "un-bombed", mufflered CTD and feel the need to enlighten them.



You look for a TDR sticker on every Ram CTD you pass.
