I'm waiting for him!
One of the guys at work just bought a 2004 Dodge with a HEMI, and he's one of those guys whose mouth runs at mach3 while his mind runs at mach.1.
Now all I'm waiting for is for him to run off at the mouth sos I can sut him up. You see he'll start bragging about how great, powerful and strong his truck is, and right after that I'll back up my '59, bumper to bumper with his, attach the chain and wait for him to leave. Just imagine his surprise when he puts it in gear, goes about 6in and STOPS! The imagine his surprise as i drop into firts and head home with him in tow. EXCELENT!
Thought this may just be a dream I will be offering him the option to put his HEMI where his mouth is.
I'll let you guys know if he takes to offer, and how far I got before I got pulled over. Police have NO sense of humor.

This reminds me of the time back in the early seventies when my dad was using my truck for his auto repair business, I was ten at the time so it was really his truck at the time. He had a customer who had an International truck that he was always bragging about. One day my dad got tired of his yapping about how great his truck was so my dad challenged him to a tug of war out in the driveway. They went out and chained up the rear bumpers and had my cousin, who was working for my dad at the time, call out the start of the tug. My cousin dropped the flag and they took off. The day before my dad pulled a car in with a bad oil leak and my dad happened to be parked on the oil spot that the car left. The International started pulling my dad back but as soon as my dad hit the dry pavement he pulled the other guy across the parking lot. The International guy got out yelling that my dad had extra weight in his box, my dad had a couple of brake drums and some other parts, then my dad pointed out to the other guy he had his entire box loaded with phone books. The other guy just stumped off. 
Unfortunately, I didn't get to see this event in person but I always enjoyed it when my dad would tell it.
