Talking Update

Love at first sight.
Her son has a new girl friend, they want to get married.
The girl has a 1978 F350 diesel with 300,000 on the clock.
The exhaust is broken under the cab.
The noise and smoke are incredible.
I talked with her and mentioned smoking, and how her future in-law hates diesel.
She was grinning real big driving away.

ROFL

Hope this helps your battle.

Peace,

That is absolutely HILARIOUS!

Poetic justice, at its finest.

Guys have burping contests where the prize goes to the loudest and/or longest burp. They also have farting contests to see who lights the best flame when they fart.

Why don't you and that girl have a diesel contest to see who has the loudest roar and smokiest smoke? right outside the old bag's house, of course.

Well if you do that Roy, make sure you set your cars valve lash to Andy's specs. Hell you can fill that witchs (replace w with b) entire yard with that much smoke. Sorry Andy couldn't resist!!!!

Do you get this type of BS.
I think it has more to do with waking her up every morning; with the lovely clatter of diesel, told her to close her window if it bothers her. LOL
bottom line, if she is buying a Caddilac Esclade she is not green. she might be a pouser but she is not green.

Grrr

Another lecture from an officer RE: how filthy diesels are, and tried to ticket me for air pollution (ambient -3F, smoke on acceleration at night).

I requested he call a supervisor, seven minutes later officer green was being lectured RE: air pollution and diesels are not his concern EVER...

Supervisor thanked me for being patient.
