I was at the gas station filling up when a middle aged man in a Z28 pulled up to the pump next to me. He looked over at my 1st gen and said "You got a hemi in that truck?" I started laughing, but after looking at his face I could tell he was serious. I politely told him it was a diesel and giggled about it all the way home. I wonder how he could tell I put a hemi in my truck...it must of been the loud chatter it makes while idleing or the cummins turbo diesel decals on the side it. Thought it was kinda funny and would share it with everyone else.

I have had that happen to me I just pointed at the emblem on the door and said no I have a real engine. When I was done filling up I made sure that he could hear the turbo scream when I pulled off.

same thing here , stop and go on the freeway , guy open his window and yells you got a hemi in that , I laugh and told him NO but I can pull 3 of them chained together , he didnt get thou.

Never been asked that. Must be the big C on the front of the truck and the 4 straight pipe roar when filling it up. Still get a smile the size of Texas when I start it up.

Had someone ask me that once and then skin out before I had the chance to respond. How rude.

I just tell people that I do have a Hemi. I use it as the starter motor......

I was pulling into a store and saw a truck just like mine, turned out to be a 2500 hemi. As I'm turning into the parking lot I saw a couple coming out of the store both laughing. I'm now turning into he parking space next to the other truck the guy has stopped laughing and won't look at my truck

A year or so ago, I got stopped by our local RCMP for doing a lil' burnout off main. The first thing the young officer asked was 'You out exercising your Hemi?'

I said, 'Bite your tongue, lad. Nothing but pure Cummins power here'

I ended up getting a ticket. I suspect he didn't like being called a lad.

nickleinonen

any points for that ticket?

Push Rod

Yeah 1 pt I think for stunting. Felt like a teenager again, as I hadn't had a stunting ticket since I was 16.

Stunting? Were you smoking? Drinking coffee? That's whats nice about America, if they write you a ticket for being short, it's considered discrimination.

wow.. here, a burnout can be careless & reckless driving, 4 points... it's a doozy... (I got a big speeding ticket reduced to a C&R a few years ago, and it tripled my insurance!)

I don't know if you meant it as a joke, but I had to ,
then think about it and some more.


I'll just add a LOL, as I chuckled as I wrote this reply.
