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!

Up here in this part of the bay we have a ton of those asshats.
the best one is when they have the gigantic smoke stacks liek they are a real semi truck.
i do have to give those gusy cred though. even though they are a bunch of d-bags they got some fast ****ing trucks.
at infineon one of them was running low 11's high 10's

The truck was a silverish color...
Also, it was VERY clear that I was not racing him, and if he did, well, then he's a moron. I got up to the speed limit which was 30mph, he got up to approx 80+mph easy... I think he was just doing that to **** us off with his lame exhaust cloud... But this was in a semi-residential neighborhood, and even though it was night time, he really shouldn't be pulling that kind of crap in that sort of area.
It doesn't help the fact that I HATE those damn duallys, ugliest damn trucks that exist on this planet... The owners of those trucks always think they are indestructible/untouchable... They always ride my *** even when there are people right in front of me... They are like the SRT-4 owners of the truck world... AKA, the biggest douches in the truck world.
I'll never understand why people choose to race trucks... Why not put that money and effort into a car? I bet they get like 8 miles to the gallon or less when they drive like this.
Then there are the responsible owners who actually use them for work and/or towing/hauling on a regular basis, it's a shame that the douches outnumber the good drivers.

Why on EARTH would you want a BIG *** truck that can't turn worth a damn in any situation known to man, but can run high 10's, and is an overall gas hog and expensive as hell in terms of tires.
I don't know about you guys, but I'd rather have a low horse power car that can handle REALLY well then a SUPER FAST car/truck that cannot handle worth CRAP.
I, for one love turning.
