when you see a sunroof-Saab speeding thru your n'hood, and make your right turn just ahead of him in order to subject him to a short-shift/fog treatment for about 1/4-mile... ... ... ... . on the way to church :--) !!!







(I know! 20,000 years carrying somebody's eternal piano up an infinite stairway for that one... ... but, for now, I think it was a good trade )

When you rquest your insurance companie to put diesel on the card:-laf

... ... when your son goes out and buys his own Cummins-powered Ram... ... . when your mom starts saying "Where's mine?" while you are showing her your latest diesel T-shirts from Thunder in Muncie, or Scheid Diesel Extravaganza.....

Let the record show that I had my CTD almost a year before my Dad decided he needed one. He drove mine and said: "Man! This thing has more power than I'll ever need... !!" ... . yet his BOMBs list continues... .

When at your daughter's wedding her ''something blue'' is a Cummins logo shield attatched to her garter.



At your niece's wedding, they leave the church in a 4440 John Deere and you are so touched you :{ like a little girl (this really happened).



When your buddies ask you how much your Dodge cost and you tell them, "Nothing. I bought a Cummins, the truck came with it. "

[TxDieselKid]

caught my self the other day......

When you switch from the far left lane, to the far right lane to ride 8 feet away from a 20foot wall, roll down the window, and play with the throttle to hear your diesel.



When you try like crazy to get next to an 18-wheeler in the middle of 5 o'clock rush traffic so you can hear it because it sounds like a stright pipe.



So maybe I am a DieselHead,

Andrew

Not in Texas! Here a turbocharger on a diesel engine is legally considered a "muffler". If you have a turbo, you're not required to have a SECOND muffler!
