Default Funny Night

So earlier tonight I got off of work a bit early so I decide to go for a little cruise. Being summertime, theres always a good race or two to be found in my area even on a Thursday night. Well as I come up to the light before the Sunrise bridge I see a newer (01' or so up) F-350. Nothing out of the ordinary except the guy has his left foot completely out the window LOL. So I pull up to say something to him but as i'm slowing down the light turns green and he takes off as quick as you'll ever see a huge 4X4 truck go. I take off too, going full throttle up to about 80 mph when I shut down with only about 4 cars on the guy... pretty impressive for an F-350. When he proceeds to blow past me, his foot still out the window, and give me a thumbs up. I'm still laughing thinking about this guy.

That is pretty funny... But trucks can be fast *****'s... Even the big haulers can beat most grocery-getters 0-60 without a trailer. There is nothing like seeing one of those big rigs take off…

Sounds like a nice truck. Justice is right...there are some bad diesels out there. I've killed a few ricers with mine, got killed by a C6 though... My wife had a stock 04 GT 40th that would bare squeak out a win over my F250 battleship with Banks 6 gun.

Cool story.

Yeah the guy had one of those control modules mounted on his A-pillar that looked pretty similar to one a friend of mine has. If its the same then its just a computer upgrade that takes about an hour to install that he can use to basically control on a level from 1-5 how much power he wants to put down...pretty sweet.
