When you see a Dodge pick-up with "tow mirrors" and you just laugh.

When you see other gas trucks (raced a "Hemi" from stop light to stop light the other day) that are supposed to be fast trucks and can show them who's boss. My favorite part is telling them "I cheated, I have 2 cylinders more than you."

I killed a diesel dodge the other day too but it was a brand new 4 door dually with I can only assume zero mods and some punk 18 year old kid driving with his friends. He spooled up at the light but didn't know how to launch and I was reved up to 1.5k and damn my truck just goes! I refuse to go more than about 10 over the limit and once I hit that I immediately slow down so don't think I go around thinking I drive a civic and racing everything in sight and driving under semis and crap.

You know you drive an Excursion when you are at an amusement park with 5,000 cars in the lot and can spot your EX from the first hills on almost every rollercoaster. Then when leaving your three year old can see it above all the other cars.

Husband: Which row did we park in honey?

Wife: The row with that monster of a truck that you ogled for 15 minutes when we got here.

Husband: Oh yeah, I hope he didn't leave yet so we can find our Prius! Do you think I can have an Excursion some day sweetums? Even a 5.4 2wd would suffice!

Wife: No, those ***** are staying in my purse. I don't want you getting a truck like that and thinking you're a real man, now get in your Prius and let's go home or no nookie next year on your birthday!
