As an aside, have any of you noticed a certain fear factor in drivers of the little death cars when they see you driving your 7 foot high 7000 pound pickup with a massive black cow catcher hung on the front of the truck? I notice a lot of them getting out of the way when they see you in their rear view mirror. Or not pulling in front of you with no room. You can tell that they are thinking: "maybe I don't want to get hit by that thing"

Not relevant to the thread but, while my DW is driving my F250, I'm driving my Prius for my 50-100 mile work route for the past couple of months. Today at 16:20 eastbound on West Bay drive in Largo Fl, a 2000~MY lifted F350 with 7.3L (black badge) pulled right up in my rear window. Nice winch! When the light changed and he got the chance, he changed lanes and rolled up on my left. The truck actually sounded pretty good! Then he got on it in what I assume was an attempt to smoke me out. It started to accelerate and blow smoke when alluva sudden it made a racket like a gasser detonating, blew a little grey smoke and he slowed and stopped in the center turn lane with his flashers on. Maybe just blew the turbo to intercooler line off or something but, if you're on these forums, thanks for the laugh!:B
