A HUGE Dually truck tried to race me last night... (Moron)

I was with my mom and my wife, and the light turns green and I start going when I hear what sounds like a tank spewing noxious black smoke out of the exhaust that chocked us all up... The truck was one of those twin turbo diesels, and he obviously had it chipped because they don't do that in stock form, and he took off like a bat out of hell...

We catch up at the next light and some girl is laughing at us and he's revving his engine... I seriously was like "Is this really happening?"

What pissed me off is that my mom and wife were all scared since they don't experience stuff like that, and not only that, but it was hard to breath after that for a good min or min and a half which didn't help my wife's cold symptoms, she's so clogged up that she can barely breath clean air, let alone black *** diesel... It wasn't just a tiny bit either, and I know this sounds like Im exaggerating, but dude, I had trouble seeing in front of me after that until he slowed down and we passed through the toxic cloud... I couldn't believe how much smoke he was pouring out of that truck... I thought it caught on fire or something...

Anyway, this guy was an idiot and I hope his girl friend or whomever dies in a fire... My wife wanted to get out and kick her ***, but my mom was there...

This raises a question, why on earth would you buy a dually, microchip it to have an insane amount of torque, and then go out racing people? I can't even imagine how much he spends on gas... I mean, if you're going to be a full time hauler, then I can understand, but his truck was lowered (Yes, you heard me) and it didn't look like it has ever towed/hauled anything before.

So here are 3 monkeys to them!

Those TDs can be really fast. Pretty impressive to see a 4x4 roasting all four tires while pulling a boat and moving forward at a reasonable rate.

You have to know that there is a certain segment of the diesel truck crowd that takes special pride in rolling up on a Japanese car, stomping on the pedal, and pumping your cabin full of as much soot as possible.

Just as we have ricer flybys, they have this.

That said, there are some crazy trucks out there. 10 sec 1/4's in an 8000 pound truck is pretty awesome.

And yeah, I have a chipped Dodge RAM 2500 4x4, pulls my fifth wheel up hills quite nicely too

43psi of boost

Why do people with big trucks always floor it when they see a car they think is
fast?
