Well it's like today a guy with a cummins contacted me and asked if id be interested in his 95 ext cab 12 valve,4x4 so I took a look at it it was decent body wasn't bad etc. It had 200,000 miles on it and he replaced a lot of the things because the previous owner hacked alot of it I know because I looked at it a few years ago. So he says hr put 5k in it. So ok the truck is valued at 4k add the 5k he put in it 9000 is what's in it he wanted my truck which is a 03 f150 fx4 loaded super crew and a grand. Which my truck books for like 9800 or something in fair contion. Which its in better than good. I never expect to get back what I put in a vehicle in work,mods,maintain. Etc

Straight piped V8 diesels.
Diesel shops that want to replace your VP44 at ANY sign of trouble.
Nice diesel trucks with huge lifts and soft aluminium wheels
LOUD LOUD stereos
Seeing guys with awesome rigs ******* them out because daddy bought it.
Idiots that wont let their wife/kids ride in their truck because they think it looks un-cool.

"Pretty" (riced out) trucks that the owner refuses to haul or tow anything with. What was the purpose in buying a 3/4 Ton - 1 Ton Diesel for, if you're not going to actually haul or tow anything? (This one is aimed at my grandfather)
He has a '97 Ram (though his is just a 5.9L Magnum gas engine), was a beautiful extended cab truck when he bought it. Within a year it had fake JCWhitney hood scoops, A Brush Guard, Tonneau Cover (one of the fiberglass covers) and he painted all the door handles, mirrors, grille, etc in cheap rattle can gold paint from the dollar store. and put on a "light up" ricer fart can tip (lights up when the brakes or parking lights are on)
And then he refuses to haul anything with the truck, in fact the Tonneau cover was in response to something I said to him once. He wanted me to drive 30 miles out of my way to haul something stupid (I don't mind helping him out, but that was outrageous, especially since my truck needed a transmission and I had to limp it on a 60 mile round trip), when he was going to be stopping at that location anyway (in his truck). "Looks like I won't be hauling anything in this truck." He said with a smirk.
He won't drive it in the winter either. (what was the point in getting a 4x4 if it sits in the garage all year and only gets driven in town?)
He's one of those Poser / "If you have it, I gotta have it too" types. I installed a Snow Plow on my D50 to plow the driveway and parking lot at the shop and he immediately threw a fit. brought us his '86 Yota 4-Runner and made us install a Snow Plow on his vehicle just because my truck had a plow. It sits all year round, never actually plows any snow with it (I have to do that) and then he constantly complains that the plow is blocking the headlights/plow lights... Duh... He angles the plow till it almost touches the bumper and then lifts it half a mile off the ground and drives it around town like that.

What grinds my gears,
Smoke thread, trucks that dont work, kids that drive a diesel with the only purpose of smoking out the town. Stacks the size of a trash can really **** me off. And every time another guy in a cummins has to act bad *** around my truck (There nothing special about my truck it works that all it does.)

What grinds my gears.....
Anyone no matter what race that gets their grandmas car and puts chrome wheels on it so big the tires constantly rub.
People that say young people are bad drivers when really it only seems that way cuz I'm having to pass your old *** up for going 5 MPH under.
People who as soon as I say I dont like Obama accuse me of being racist
The government being too worried about being PC to get crap done
Cops who find any reason possible to give me a ticket because I'm a third of their age and have worked my *** off and have a nicer vehicle than they probably ever will
People with more money in subs than the car their in
That should do it for now I feel much better

All the Foreiegn Diesles that Arent even Considered to Be imported for "Emission" standards and all kinds of Government BS. Like the Turbodiesel Landcruisers and small trucks, full size whatever. No Matter what, if its not made In the US it cant be legally had here. So we are limited with the three options and have to cobble and shoehorn mods to make what we want when outside the US its available on stock vehicles. WTF
