Default Pillar Guages Must Say Bring It On

The other day I'm traveling down the interstate with my boy going about 70. I notice in my mirror a powerstroke following me for quite aways. Well he comes up along side of me and just stays along side of me until I glance over at him and his buddy. Next thing I know is he hammers it and gives me a little smoke screan. I just maintained my speed and did nothing. My boy looks at me and says Tell me he didn't just do that to you. I said yep. My boy says you going to get him back I said yep.His weather forecast is about to become mostly cloudy. I wait until I get a real nice straight section of highway without alot of other traffic. I turn on the comp I turn on the TST. I ride up behind him and start to pass and lays on it again, well at 65 mph I'm blowing buy this guy before he even knows what happened. As I look back I see nothin but black smoke I'm over 100mph in a matter of seconds. I slow back to the speed limit and pretty soon here comes the powerstroke guy's. They come pullin up along side of me again I look over and the passenger is laughing his *** off and both of them are giving me the thumbs up. I guess they liked the smoke show. But has anyone ever noticed that when they come along side of ya and see the pillar guages it seems that then they all want to race or play. I know it gives Me the urge too at times

When there is lots of traffic that can be dangerous but given the open the road that can be fun in a reckless sense of the word.

Gauges tell that something is in there but the smokes says what it is...

There is some kids in my class that need a lesson in diesels. All they talk about is how bad there ragged out early 90's model 5.0's are and there Preludes. My truck needs a litlle more tweakin but I'd like to have RSWORDS pickup to educate them with. They had the nerve to ask one day why people in pickups would even bother tryin to race them, I just kept my mouth shut

Some kids will never learn... Education is the key, BBCOD are addictive.
