One of the towns I live by(18 miles away) has 2 yes count them 2! stop lights on mainstreet. One has 2 story buildings on both sides. It gets loud there.

2) You have your pass side mirror permenantly tilted down, so you can see the smoke dump out the tailpipe at every intersection.
Actually its pointed down so I DON'T blow smoke at every intersection.

When you pull over to eat when on the highway and your whole family just sits there for 5 minutes or so without even ashing what are we doing.They know they must let the turbo cool down.

4) Your friends think you are weird because every full sized truck that goes by catches your attention, and you are breaking your neck trying to see if you can see "Powerstroke" "Cummins" or "Duramax" written anywhere on it. And then when you find out it's only a 1/2 ton you are pissed you even bothered.


happens every single day. haha.

Some of those apply to me, but not very many anymore. I like the power and mileage, but could do without the sound and smell, in the cab anyways. Guess I don't really love them?? I don't really care if I'm seen driving one, in fact I tint the windows in all my trucks so nobody sees me in the first place.
