W123 Smokes A Ford 6.0 Powerstroke!!!!!!!!!

was driving to work this morning at about 0515 and, coming north out of Napa on SR 29, passed my buddy who owns a 2003 Ford Crewcab 6.0 Powerstroke (which I talked him in to buying a few years back).

If you have ever had a Ford 4X4, especially the newer ones following you, you know how annoying those headlights are in your mirrors.


My buddy ( who's name is Kennedy) with the 03 Crewcab got in behind me and we were both going about 60 mph (the speed limit) and I would gently ease into the throttle from time to time ( just enough for a light cloud from the exhaust). We kept bumping up the speed to about 68 mph and then I decided to have some fun, I dropped the hammer, speed never really increased, but the smoke cloud that came out the back completely blackened out those headlights for a second or two



I met him at the daily sign-in for work and he kept asking me what happenned, as he had never seen anything like that before, he was concerned for my Benz.........


I told him that he had just witnessed

RAW MB HORSEPOWER

and that, as long as we were both employed there, HE would have to deal with it
