Since you ask..... I was amazed at the trucks on the television that were doing a timed, drag race, down a race track. They had 10,000 pounds behind them, and I was excited to see the Fords do well. However, many of the GM went very quickly, and did well also. In my opinion, the Dodges didn't appear to do well at all. What do you think, its off topic, but great conversation. Should this be started in another post in another section? If the moderators think so, I guess they can move it. Gentleman.... (and Ladies) hook up those trailers and start your engines!!!!

I thought it was:

First
On
Race
Day

or

Found
Out back
Rescuing
Dodges

I've heard them all!

My Cummin's Licence plate is 4D EATR

It has lost some meaning since I have 3 F-350s now, but I hope to soon have that # down to just the IDI turbo.

Now the other side

F'd
Over
Rebuilt
Dodge

Found
On
Road
Dead

The best one was when an older guy drove up to my shop in his Powerstroke nose-to-nose with my Dodge, shut it off, came through the front door and asked me what my license plate says.
I told him the Ford guys can't ever figure it out because it's over their heads, it says Ford Eater. He replied B.S., wanna race? I told him I couldn't because I had to keep the shop open, actually I didn't want to lose.
We started harrasing each other and I thought we were just having fun. He said he'd heard the other day that 90 something percent of the F series trucks made in the last 10 years are "still on the road."
I told him "that's not as bad as it sounds though."
"BAD!?" he questioned.
Yeah! That means up to 9% of them made it HOME!
He exclaimed "son-of-a-b***h!" and left.

I've never seen him since.
