We left a stoplight in a long line of traffic, i saw a huge cloud of smoke up in the air over the intersection, didnt know what it was. Thought it might been a old tractor trailer since that was at the intersection of Random House book manufacturing.... alot of truck traffic. Well did not see a modded diesel or a tractor trailer, so i kept on driving. Two miles later i see another huge cloud in the road, this time a lifted dodge on 22.5's and 7" miters is flying down the road the opposite way, apparently he turned around. This sucker was modded, i could see tire smoke at even very high speed, plus the huge cloud of smoke he left in the road ACTUALLY HAD PEOPLE PULLING OVER! Cars were pulling over to the side, some turned on their headlights, everyone slowed down, i switched to 140Dyno and just laid out my own line of smoke, the huge line of traffic behind me got very dark and the cars kept back a few hundred feet, even at the next stop light the car was hesitant to get within 50 feet of me!
See, off topic can be fun sometimes. Good story.
I actually got to do a little smoking myself the other day. I'm sorry just couldn't control myself. Leaving work at 7 am on a four lane road, a little blue four door foreign POS was riding my bumper so close I couldn't see in the windshield. I wanted to brake check him but decided to change lanes instead. The car followed me over to the next lane, still on my a$$. The next stoplight was a 2 lane left turn and a thought occurred to me and at the very last minute I switched to the left lane. They didn't make the switch. Then I heard the music coming out of their rolled down windows and it didn't sound like anything I had heard so I had to look and sure enough, they were some of those undocumented workers that seem to be taking over around here. They were looking at my truck and making some Spanish comments when the light turned green, I had already switched to 140 and let them pull away first, then I went. Half way throught the intersection, we were broad side and I got on it enough to roll some smoke and maintain traction. When I got strait, his front was even with my rear and I floored it.
Nothing like a good mexican smoking.

Its the day before the 4th, cut me some slack! I'm practicing for tomorrow. Fireworks are always better when your sloshed. I play volleyball and badminton better when I am impaired, too. At least I think I do.



Ok on a sidenote, this is waaay OT, but any of you cooks know any good Zucchini recipies? Who knew I had a green thumb, but I planted some vegetables this year and the Zucchini and MONSTER tomatoes are starting to gang up on me.

hahaha, wow. Sometimes people surprise the **** out of you. I knew a 6'6" big tough marine once, was great with a sewing needle...one of the best seamstresses I have ever seen.

I'm gonna have to try the fried zucchini. Nothing like taking something thats good for you and turning it into junk food.

Rick I'm liking you a little more with every post. You ought to come to my aid elsewhere. I'm too hardheaded to give up on this foolish thread I started in the Club, but they sure are trying my patience.

Almost true. I stick by my guns to at least 2 cups of coffee before I pop the first top. But I'm usually up by 5:30. So I explain my bad habits by saying it's all relative to what time your day starts. Does that make sense to anyone?

I have read every post from the start. But I can't get into that type of conversation on here. You are doing a good job, and you do have a few helping you.
