AHHH... PSD's in the springtime!

I took a little drive today with my kids. My 2 year old boy kept saying "fast", so I'd put my foot in it hard and the kids would both giggle. I would look at the black smoke in the mirror and giggle too. I must have looked like I was 5! I just got this thing running and sounding like it should so I was having fun "testing" it out. With all of the windows down, the turbo, intake and exhaust sounded great! It really sounds good when I jump on it, any ideas I had about better mileage are GONE! My foot is heavy these days!

The smell of diesel, the sounds of power.... AHHHH! I love springtime!

Couldn't agree more. There's nothing like the smell of a diesel truck firing up on a bright summer morning to start the day off right.

All I could picture when I read the first post is that generic scene from the movies when the girl is running toward the man in some meadow in slow motion.

Imagine a guy running toward his PSD....and the PSD running toward him.....with a not so "G" rated conclusion.....SPLAT!

Speaking of diesel in the spring, why since we aren't making heating oil and should be on summer fuel, why hasn't the price dropped. Gas is edging down here, but not diesel, still $2.79 18 cents more than regular.

Well I live two hours south of a metropolitain area. Gas and diesel is allways .20 cheaper up there, but we're the rural ones!
