DNP Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 I'm guilty of purposely loading up the diesel when passing a Prius or two. I like to give em a little black smoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 My '77 5/4 ton Dodge had a Carter 2-barrel on the 318. Once it got anywhere north of 80* here it could vapor lock at any time. So it VL'ed on me one day, in rush hour, on a two-lane street that has a center turn lane. Stalled out not quite a block from the light, so I was able to coast into the center turn lane and stop. Cars going my way were backed up to well past where the truck was sitting. After waiting a few minutes I tried cranking it, it still didn't want to start but it was a new battery and I thought "Just keep cranking!" After a couple of minutes I could feel it catch, which meant "Keep it floored brother!" Looking in the side-view mirror, there was a Ford Escort wagon, driver's window down and ON the car's bumper in front of him. Big fat 3" diameter solid black jet of smoke right in his window with a big "CHU-CHU-CHUG-BBRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWW!!!!" <lmao> Like I was going to let it die after that. <dontknow> Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My buddies good for changing programs and smoking them out, also works well for backing off tail gaters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
