Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Your smoke stained my paint!

[CStansbury]

Ever since I moved my plate forward and cranked the starwheel my '95 will lay down a pretty thick cloud until it starts building boost. I need to crank the star wheel back just a little.



Last weekend my wife and I were leaving a friends house in this ritzy development and this young lady in a red sports car was just riding my butt all the way through the development. We finally got to the stop sign where you pull out on the main 2-lane road and I really got on it to put some distance between me and her. When I hit 3rd and mashed on it, a heavy black cloud settled on the road from my turndown. The lady in the fast little red car actually stopped in the middle of the road, pulled over into the wrong lane, drove around the smoke cloud and then back into the right lane. :-laf Of course another smoke cloud followed the shift to 4th. That time she drove through it, but was flailing her arm out the window to tell me how much she appreciated it. I really wasn't trying to smoke her out, but she sure thought I was screwing with her. Even my wife was laughing after that chick drove around the cloud and she very rarely appreciates anything to do with loud pipes and smoke.



I guess that young gal thought I was going to ruin her paint. She made a point to come flying around us at a high rate of speed on the 4-lane. Oh well, some folks just don't understand

I am sure you would understand if that carcinegic smoke was blowing into your infants lungs too right?

I've fumigated a few drivers who tailgated a bit too close for comfort on occasion. You'd think they'd learn, but some just get right back on your butt in an attempt to show how PO'd they are.



Some people just never figure out that if you persue and annoy an octopus, you get a cloud of ink your face. Happens with skunks, too. Hey, there you go, a skunk tail on a string over your tail pipe. Just before you mash it to the floor, you raise the tail! :-laf





Bob,



I tend to agree with you. While I don't make a habit of smokin' out those behind me just for sport, I've clouded one or two lightly by accident that obviously didn't appreciate it, but at the same time were smoking a cigarette with a baby in the back. Go figure on that one! And I make an effort not to smoke anyone behind me that I think may have little ones on board even if they deserve it.

I've done the same to bicyclist who hog the lane and won't let you pass. When I get a chance to get around them, I try to do a dump.

 

[CStansbury]

No baby in the car Bob, just a 20-something with a bad attitude.

Come on, stop the ****t. You know you smoked her out on purpose, and I guess in some way it made you feel good. Was it because she had a little red sports car? Lived in an area where you would like to live???? But can't??

Sorry if I disagree with your tactics, or lack there of. But people like you are why we have to have all the strict laws we now have. You would think with record high fuel prices, people like you would realize your thick cloud of smoke is simply a waste of fuel and a Amber alert for all else to see, that the driver has an IQ of 43.

Don't you have anything better to do then **** off perfectly ordinary and enocent people?? Are you so angry and dis-understood that you have to lash out at decent people? Get a life and please buy a gasser, you give the TDR a bad name.

Tell us how you really feel!

 

[KingS]

that has got to be the most ignorate statement y-knot I bet you thought of that whole paragraph will following a big rig or dump truck that was laying out a cloud of black on every shift and never bothered to think of them and while I'm at is I mention how about transptation busses in town that lay a bigger cloud of smoke at 5 mph though town then we to on a wot take off at an intersection and the smog regulation put into place have nothing to do with the fact are trucks smoke other wise you would see smog divises on tractor pull tractors. just my dollars worth.

Sounds like YOU are the angry one here... . But then again after reading some of your posts it doesn't surprise me... .

 

[MKline]

Can't we all just get along?

 

[JoshPeters]

Wow everyone gets all ticked at the guy who gave the TAILGATER a cloud of smoke.



How about next time he throws a nice 2"x2" SOLID metal bar across under his bumper and hammer the brakes hard. What he did was harmless. What she was doing could have been potentially fatal.



A LITTLE red sports car would probably have driven UNDER the bumper straight up to the windshield if he HAD to stop fast.



Give me a break! :-{}

I'm waiting to have one of the guys that whine about the Smoke to complain to me about how much oil my truck leaks too!

[CStansbury]

Why do you have to be such a pr**k y-knot and jump into crap you know nothing about?!



You don't know a damn thing about me or the chick in the red car, yet you feel inclined to insult me and defend the "enocent. "



How do you know I don't have a red sports car or live in a frickin mansion? You don't know jack. All you know how to do is **** people off on the TDR. I wonder how many of your 2140 posts are actually constructive and how many are just plain antagonistic?



Read my post man! I admitted that I needed to crank the star wheel back a little to help control the smoke. Also I said that I took off fast from the stop, producing a cloud, not to smoke her on purpose, but to get some distance between us so she would stop eating my bumper.



You need to take some anger management classes and quit throwing the insults around. I'm sure your not quite stock truck doesn't smoke a bit, right? Instead of raging at me about the environment and tougher smog laws, why don't you go after the morons who drive their beaters with sloppy valve guides, broken rings, worn out pistons, etc... who are fogging the nation's highways with smoke from burning oil. Like someone else suggested, go after all those coal trucks in eastern, KY who roll the smoke black as tar from one end of the rpm spectrum to the other.



Anywho, I've got a life and I'm keeping my 12v so go bother someone else.

If he is giveing TDR a bad name then I s*** all over it because I make enough smoke to stop traffic on interstate 80 going into New York city and think it is funny as heckI dont do it often but none the less I think its funny

 

[WDimig]

i love smoke! and my truck makes a whole lot of it!, i only smoke those who deserve it, in this case, the sports car deserved it, and as for those epa laws, they are coming someday, so might as well smoke em while you can!



happy smoking!

[6btsmoker]

Bob

I think the real cuase of high fuel prices is improperly timed city lights. I figure, stopping every 1/2 mile is burning 50% more fuel then I should, this created more demand, thus raising prices more then they should be at this point.

The funny thing is that all of the higher population towns in KY are enacting soot ordinances...



Y-KNOT to the RESCUE!!!!!!!!

 

[Ridesamule]

I am enjoying this from the side enough , thought I would throw some fuel on the fire.



There is a conspiracy theory out there that Gov. controlled jets are intentionally spewing out black clouds called "Chemtrails" (look it up ). The thought pattern falls under the area of a sunscreen to prevent global warming.



I don't know what to think, but maybe we should pat ourselves on the back for supporting an upcoming Bill before congress, even before it hits the assembly floor.

 

[biggy238]

That's backwards... . The black sunscreen is keeping in too much residual radiation as it is, causing the warming... . not preventing it...



Hey, we tried to melt iceburgs by painting them black. . who knows...





Mo-BILE soot factory baby... .
