I love my truck

Man, the more I drive my truck, the more I fall in love with it.

It's clunky, it's bouncy, it's noisy as hell, it smells funny, it's big and bulky and a pain to park, but I LOVE the hell out of it.

Maybe it's the beers talking, or maybe it's the steak and lobster I just had at Outback... but I drove it home tonight and relished to my girl (explaining how the turbo kicks in at certain points, etc) how great my truck was. She was mimiking the sound of the whistle as we drove around. It was awesome.

So, to all you CTD fans out there [cheers]

Me too! I just drove 60 miles on expensive fuel just because I like the sound the smell and all the bumps and rattles. It's big and hard to park but it feels powerful. I can't wait to get the WH1C turbo installed so I can tweak the pump and get more boost.

Are we nuts?

Rough is exactly it... We got us a covered bridge here... and the pavements kinda sunken at either end... so when u hit it you kinda jump it. Well when u hit them over 100kph you know it. Feels awesome, sounds powerful. Rides like a buckboard... I love it

I miss mine. He's sitting in the driveway waiting for me to come home. Another 4 weeks to go.

And their charm is, they don't do anything with subtlety.

Love is a strong word for a truck, however Gretchin and i have traveled a lot of miles and she has never let me down, it would take a heck of a truck for me to even consider trading her off.

ok dang it i love her too

If I have a male name for my truck, does that make me queer?

God, I hope not because mine is named: BRUNO.

Just couldn't call it a girl's name with all this power.

I show my 'girl' all the love and affection she deserves. She has never failed me yet. I fill her up all the time...never nickel and dime her. Fresh oil runs through her blood and nothing but the best filters for her! She makes me proud driving around in something that was built right 12 years ago! Way to go Dodge/Cummins! She is even loved as much by my wife! Only...well, my wife has given her a male name! Dang it! Oh well, at least we both agree that she's mine! Uh, and so is the wife! hehehehehe!
