Default The next generation of diesel lovers

Got asked a question yesterday by a lil kid that I really didnt know a good answer. The kid asked why big trucks were so loud. I figured he meant diesels. But i really didnt have a good, simple answer that he could understand. So i told him that big trucks are loud cuz theyre super tough trucks. Its the best i could come up with on a short notice. And without going into straight pipe stacked exhaust flow and horsepower and turbo vanes on my truck, its the simplest answer i had. But this kid absolutly loved the truck, he went crazy when it revved up and smoked, made me look forward to my lil one coming this November. He kicks his momma when in the truck and it roars hittin that 2800-3000 rpm band, its funny.

Almost once a week I pass a group of young Amish kids walking to the fields to work for the day, and there is always one who is waving wildly at me and giving me the international sign for "honk your horn" for a big rig. Always makes my day

I have had similar responses from the little ones running around town. I was stopped by a corner store when a kid gave me a big thumbs up yelling "Nice truck!!", I yelled "Thanks man!!" and rolled off the corner with the turbo spooling.
