One day out on the highway this guy in an ole id say late 80s v8 chevy pickup and im in my 94 f150 with the straight 6 300 and a 5 speed and i started messin with him i was already cruisin around 70-75 and then i used up all of fourth and went to fifth gear burying the speedo till a little later im assuming it hit the governer and the engine cut out till it slowed down a little and kept doing the same just like my friends 98 gmc governor worked. Wish i had the gps to tell me how fast i was goin im guessing just under 100 or in that area somewhere anyways it was fun knowing the old 6 cylinder with 150,000 still has alot of get up and go to it and they sure do last forever. my dad had a 84 with the straight six and sold it with 189,000 miles still running strong with the 4 speed wish he kept that truck

this dosent involve a ford but it does involve a Dakota getting wasted! set out one morning in my '49 Studebaker gasser, thought i'd take it to church, the bias plies were cold so had to let them warm up, cool morning never get on it hard till it comes up to temp. was running at about 50 in a 55 down the road, early, no cars. all the sudden a beat up purple Dakota is all over me till I couldn't see front glass! thought that's how he wants to play, game on! he went to pass,i smack shift into 2nd, front lifts and i'm gone, he is toast but will not back out, we come up on a turn, gassers don't corner well so I back out, he blasts past into the turn at over 80, goes into a side slide in front of me and does a rollover down a hillside and the Dakota is junked! call 911 but when they get there they say the guy was sitting on the wreckage having a beer! it was a cool thing to see too, that little Dakota seemed to have slid for a mile sideways in front of me, smoke flying with the wheels completely stopped in rotation, it looked like it was on ice or a movie scene

A recent one from my own travels. Came up to a stoplight on a two lane highway today in the rain. Had some kid fly up beside me in a white Hyundai of I presume near the 2005ish model year. Anyways I was about two foot behind the line so I moved promptly up to in my My 93 F-150, 2x4 E4OD, 100K plus 302. Well soon as I done so he did as well, meaning in my mind challenge accepted. Light kicks green, I pedal it lightly to 20 and proceed to hammer it, went from his rear bumper to the back of the cab on my truck in no more than 250 feet before I had to let out for the minivan in front of me. If I had more road, would of been for a fun ride up the rev range for certain.Its small encounters like these that make the daily drive worth a long while.

I had a dodge diesel pull up beside me on the highway I hammered it passed him he punched it cops flipped their lights on he stopped I kept going
I was at a stoplight not paying attention the next light turned green I hit it and stopped immediately because it was red the Chevy next to me revved a bit and I ignored it he punched it I went to a little delayed I ended up winning he gave up as soon as I passed him
At the next stoplight another day a 60s chevy pulled up nothing special by the sound he revved i replied.
That car was stupid fast I lost really bad

So i was in a busy parking lot in my truck. I see this lady with a small kid about to cross to a restaurant up a head in front of me. I see them from a mile away so i slow waaay down giving them plenty of time to cross. But the lady seeing me still rolling forward and not completely stopped, did not approve and stops walking, holding her kids hand, she turns and glares at me with the dirtiest look of disgust. So i come to a complete stop, thinking to myself, "okay, lady with a kid. I don't blame her for being extra careful". Then she turns her nose up at me and walks across without a hand wave or a smile or anything. So once they are safely across and on the sidewalk of the restaurant, i put my foot so deep in it that the tires (well probably tire, well for sure tire) breaks loose and squeals to high heaven, practically standing still and the 460 was breathing a deep breath with a nasty growl. I lit the tires (oh yeah, tire) for at least 30 feet. I had just done the plugs and cap so it was feeling a little peppy. Wrong move lady.

After breaking in and tuning in my new 408w I was on the highway still trying to be conservative when this Fat N lazy Union Job entitled looking douchebag comes up on me with the beasty looking like this and he gives me this snooty look then plants his foot down on a new-ish looking Tundra with lots of cheezy bolt-ons....LOL........
Well I counted to 3 downshifted my beasty from 5th to 4th to give it a lil momentum and set the mood then shifted back up into 5th and without much effort having 568rwftlb of torque at 3120 rpm's to 4000 down to 509ftlbs at 5200 caught up to him pretty quickly then planted my foot n stretched him out in 5th so bad with the TKO600 w.64 overdrive and the 3.55's with 31.5" diameter tires that spin under 650 revolutions per mile ;- ...LOL..
It actually took that goofy looking moron 4 massive stretchouts to realize he wasnt gonna win against the old beasty and his overpriced crapbox is what it is......an overpriced crapbox....LOL
I know he went home butthurt and probably beat his dog or smacked his wife around to feel superior.........LOL...
Then a few days later same scenario but one run against another Union looking guy in a Raptor......LOL...LOL...LOL..
And as you can see I couldve taken both of them from a dig too and I used to get two wheel peel everytime with my Detroit locker and my old 351 w 565000 miles but not with these things installed even with the 31.5 diameter skinnies and the massive 408's power...I dont feel an ounce of axle wrap and not scared to dump the clutch at 3500......LOL.........
