OMG! The funniest thing just happened!!

I started my truck up a couple minutes ago and came in to check something on the web. I thought I heard my truck idle up and was happy to know that I had the high idle feature. I opened the door to go make sure of this but as I got did I heard all kinds of rattling which didn't sound good. I thought "What now???" as I ran onto the porch. It sounded like my truck was falling apart!!!! My heart started racing as I ran out to shut it down. Once I got outside I saw one of the neighbors ride by in his obnoxious Harley Davidson!!!! It was his bike making all that noise!!!! Scared the DooDoo out of me.......................

Too funny!

I usually have talk radio or tunes playing in the truck, so anytime the sound is off - like when I have a passenger I'm talking with - I hear all kinds of noises, some of which make me pucker-pinch the seat cushion...

I was driving down a street by our local mall... and I heard my truck start to get REAL loud, like something was cracking on the exhaust manifold...

Sounded like it was gonna explode...

Thats when the helicopter flew by...

I had beads of sweat rolling down my back... you know that feeling...

I thought I had a bad knock for a few seconds, but it was just a jackhammer.

Sometimes they can be real. I was driving from Arizona, started to smell something burning. Started to look around for farms burning fields or something like that, nothing. Came to a grinding halt on Interstate 10, opened the hood to find a rag on top of the engine, smoking away. Dodged a bullet that time.

One day i was bush hogging on my granddads farm. All of the sudden i heard this big loud sound that sounded like one of the blades was gettin ready to fly off or somethin. I shut the PTO off as fast as i could, only to look up and notice a helicopter flying low over head
