Well, good. Somebody’s working! Just teasing.
I don’t need one of those any more. Retired 9 years ago after 49 years in various aspects of North America’s oil industry in North Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming. And by God’s grace came out with enough money I don’t need to put up with stupid people any more! And live 40 miles out of town!
So I don’t have to put up with egos, or ego’s, whichever is correct.

I live in a heavy rig rocket area and have several times had an older jacked up coal rolling cummins try to run me and recently a similar Gm, what I’m sure of 10 speeds and 475 factory hp vs 4-6 speeds and say 600-700 aftermarket horsepower with 35-40s is a win by my oem ford every time.

Anyone else noticed that goofball GMC/Chevy/Dodge (idiot) drivers want to race you when they notice your new Ford truck?? I swear, the louder and higher their truck the worse it gets.
Of course, I show proper and mature restraint. But……I had one “opportunity” with a guy in a jacked up Chevy….. He might want to think twice about challenging a 6.7 PS next time he’s out cruising the interstate. This old man in a new F-450 absolutely smoked him….. LOL. I have to admit, it felt pretty good.

I'm amazed at how many have GIGANTIC exhaust tips installed on their rigs too. Some of them are absolutely ridiculous. Makes me wonder what they are thinking???

I hate to say it but I see plenty of Ford owners in this category too. I can tell you this - if they have deleted and hot-rodded them very much at all they will dust a factory truck. Some of them make amazing power. Too bad so many of them are also idiotic coal-rollers.

At my age I ignore these Jackwagons. I use to love in my motorcycle days when a young assclown in a Mustang or Camaro would pull beside you and rev the engine against a sport bike! Never ended well for the car driver. But if no one has noticed, we are surrounded by a multitude of morons that if breathing was not autonomic, they would die!
