sweet picture your son drew. black smoke is what draws us in and keeps us around like it or not. ive never had any one ask about my truck with out the first thing them asking is " does it smoke?" everytime i have to drop my head and say not yet

Black smoke had absolutely nothing to do with why I began to like or continue to like Diesels.

I didn't say everyone Begle , and pretty much 100% of the time when someone does say EVERYONE that excludes you anyway.

And for smoke, I must admit that it was the number one thing that got me into diesels. I have since learned quite a bit and since my truck doesn't smoke very much I haven't had the opportunity to learn when and where the best time is, but I will someday. And I agree on the peds and bicyclists because we have tons of people riding on or over the white line and they won't move and I kinda wish my truck smoked more to give them a little "hint" that they are in the way and making themselves a safety hazard.
I love diesels and black smoke, Im a new diesel owner myself, I think it is badass, however I have to disagree on the smoking out bicyclists, I am an avid biker,(not a roadie) I do alot of mountain biking, dirt jumping, downhill etc, and if I ever get smoked out, I make sure to catch up to the truck at a stoplight and smash their mirror off, or slash their tires, after I follow them home, **** like that just extremely pisses me off, you have no Idea that the guy on the bike has a diesel truck himself, but ( smoking him out) is just retarded, unless he did something stupid,

I also carry a pistol on me when riding at night, so if a car swerves at me, or a diesel smokes me out, I wont be afraid to stick that gun in your face at the next light and make you fear for your life, just like you did to me, ******* punks.....

this is why most people associate diesel truck owners as fat *** imbred rednecks....
I look forward to my next encounter with a jackass who thinks it is funny.....

let the hating begin.......

I agree with you but I too am guilty of doing it BUT I had a legit reason(in my eyes atleast). The group was riding on a windy road taking up the entire lane and would not get over for me and the huge line of cars behind me to pass. When there was finally a opening I floored it and they got a little smoke(my truck only leaves a haze)

I guess I got a little carried away, .... I also get upset at the roadies who take up the whole lane, and dont even move over when they can.....**** even I ride waaaay on the right side...


I guess im directing it to those guys who purposely go out of their way to splash me or get waaay to close for comfort.....


I once had a group of kids roll up next to me and yell " get a car loser!!!" I was like uh my bike is worth more than that car your in, never mind the car in my driveway....... some people just have no clue....


back to topic, I love stacks, but I dont think my 6.5 would smoke enough to get one.....

x3 while i do believe that blowing smoke during a burnout or just revving it to show off your trucks power is cool, I believe that smoking ANYONE out or doing it randomly is kinda pointless and childish, diesel prices are high enough without burning more more then you need to.
