While standing in front of my brothers 01 Cummins with the hood open. We were talking to this older guy with a southern accent about Cummins engines. He owns a 1992 Dodge Ram w/ Cummins himself. After half an hour discussing diesels, he turns and looks at mr bros engine and says: "Now tell me.... by chance, would this be a diieesel??"

Dumbest Thing I've Ever Heard

Motorist: So, how many cylinders does your Cummins In-Line six have?

next answer should be, like, 13 or 14 or more

(6 in the block, a master cylinder + 4 more wheel cylinders for the brakes, two to make the clutch work, an actuator for the exhaust brake.......how many others?)

I may be guilty of vehicular profiling, but, I suspect that members of the Diesel-powered Mercedes demographic are not a very adventurous crowd. Picture the scenario: guy steps out of bounds....later on, turns in car for regular maintenance (at a Benz-shop, of course)...shop tech sends a small fuel sample off for analysis (maybe just out of lawyer-mediated general paranoia or *insert cheesy Hollywood German accent here* "az a maddah of prrrrrozeeedjah!") discerns jet fuel.... BADA-BING! warranty voided, in German....... annnnnd, who's he going to sell it to, later? Not back to the Benz dealership..... Carmax!!! Oh, the HORROR of having to associate with the rest of us riffraff....
