getting some of the meanest looks
i live in the good ole town of lancaster in ohio where it is an everyday thing to see trucks with stacks on it, so naturally i have a truck with stacks... well i have some friends out in Reading, PA this is a city near philly, so i expect some wierd looks from the yuppies driving the mercedes, but i have gotton so many mean looks from people while in this city it is kinda depressing, so i make sure they get behind me and i really make them mad and let the smoke fly... so my guess is that the whole fast truck idea isn't a very popular one, in this area... i don't know i just thought it was interesting.

just think of it this way, that poor yuppie in the benz does not know how to appreciate a solid work truck, that will outrun his car, and is probably paid for anyways. So in the long run, you win twice! whats not to like? hehehehehe
Just keep on truckin

and the smoke thing...that isnt helping whatsoever, you are helping to create a bad name towards diesels and our hobby.
a nice car doesnt make a yuppie. remember, your truck is very nice to others less fortunate, but you wouldnt want to be considered a yuppie because you can afford it.
why die rich? i'd buy a nice car if i had disposable income.
not saying i dont understand what you are talking about, as many people do over react and cant accept you for you and what you like/enjoy. but how come you cant accept them for them, they are just mean. just the conclusions about others you are jumping to and your response to your assumption about them is what i dont agree with.
just my 0.02
***edit: i am guilty of the loud/modified exhaust as well

I totally relate to what your saying. Pgilles has a good point not to judge. but sometimes others can be so dam mean one can't help but get ****** off back at them.
Dshiftff is from West Haven, CT so he can verify me on this one. U wouldn't believe the looks people give u when u drive thru a wealthy area of CT. like Greenick, Westport, Madison, Guilford, ect. it almost makes u wonder if your not suppose to be there or you're doing something wrong.
i even had a lady yell at me because she thought i was the trash man. I asked why in the world she assumed that, her response was "I heard that nah nah nah nah, knocking noise and i thought it was my trash truck".
***!!
