Yeah, this is an MB forum but.. I'll be getting one when I can.
Anyhow - I was at a notoriously looong light the other day in my 'yota diesel. I saw this enviro-freak who'd @$#ched me out at my apt complex about having an old, poorly-tuned vehicle wasting gas and polluting our world. He also tells me how horrible the exhaust smells and how noisy my baby is when she cranks (which she is) up. "Oh, really", I think to myself... mwhahaha!

He pulls up beside me and his 'roommate' is driving. His escallade. Sigh. My truck emits a white puff on startup (fuel), burns less than 1/4th qt of oil in 5000 miles, has 140K on the ticker and gets something like 41mpg in town, 35 on highway. Mostly this is because you can stick it in OD at 40mph in town whereas 65-70 on DFW highways requires some serious RPM's.

Anyhow - so here he is in his 15mpg maybe-with-a-favorable-wind rig, yacking on his cell phone, UNSEATBELTED, windows down, music blaring (yeah - guess the other guy on the cell was enjoying that too)...

My pipe right under his window. I turn up my idle speed adjust screw. Noise level goes up by a factor of 3 from a gentle purr to 'noisy generator' levels. Next thing you know, windows are going up, middle fingers are comming out, the light changes and I'm laughing my bu77 off.

Was that -entirely- too rude. Darn I hope so. I considered using the last of my fiberglass to fiberglass over his door handle but that'd just be wrong.
