My wife started doin it in her Saturn, says she's waiting for the fuel gauge to come up.



Good friend of mine (who has a Dodge CTD and talked me into mine) jumps in my truck and just turns the key. He can't understand why he remembers in his diesel, but can't in mine. I've even left 'sticky' notes on the steering wheel.

It's time to order new checks and you call your bank mad because they don't offer cummins backgrounds



BTY where can I get some?

When you brake up with a 5'6" blonde because she's mad you went to Muncie instead of staying home and doing nothing. :{



Oh well, now I've got more money to spend on my truck. :-laf

You go to an classic car swap meet to find parts for a freind and you spend most of your time looking a the trucks pulling the trailers!

Chicks just need to understand it's a guy thing, we don't control it, that is the way we are built. Why in the heck do we buy these exspensive trucks and work on them, It's a guy thing! Why did I spend Fri night installing 4k's and valve springs and yesterday installing all my old system (CD unit, 5 channel amp, 10 speakers) It's a guy thing..... get over it girls, at least were not at the bar trying to pick someone else up!

... and then, you're disgusted with the non-diesel vehicle when you let out the clutch with no throttle and the poor torque-less thing dies.

... ... ... you go around looking for bigger trailers to pull, so you can tell when you have a load.



... ... ... you let your friend who doesn't own a CTD, run his head a little because everyone else in the crowd knows the truth.



... ... ... . you offer to haul hay, move equipment, etc... ... ... for people you hardly know, just to use your truck and listen to stacks under a good pull.



Just a few off the top of my head... ... ... ..... :-laf :-laf :-laf

f. boyle----

thats soo true. My daughter gets soo red when I pick her and her friends up in the ram. . they hear me coming through the traffic before they even spot me. When I show up at the curb... . they say "the bus is here" - "all aboard". Since I sound like the local school buses.

But It's better then being lost in the crowd of wannabees and suv's... .



At my friends machine shop, I sound like the carting truck... when I pull up I get... "oh it's you. . thought it was Rightway Carting. "
