#81. You can identify what model of Cummins it is sight unseen from across the parking lot. (12V, 24V, CR, 6.7)
#82. When people gawk and comment more about the truck your wife drives than they do about the SRT8!

^^ I did that in the Cabelas parking lot Saturday night. It was a reactionary turn around and soon as I did it I laughed and thought about that #. In my head I heard "HAha, madeja look!"

BTW it was a black 07 QCSB that sounded good. I guess that owner had a little work done

I got mine with 330,000 on the clock, and people asked why I got such an old truck...
It´s only at 372,000 now, it´s got lots of years to go.

#83 When you have to explain to a Prius driving, earth saving relative that you drive the most economical 8800 pound vehicle available to support what you do for a living, choosing not to drive a fuel slurping, big block gasser of 1/3 more cubic inches with 1/3 the gas mileage and have, in fact, owned it longer than they have been on the green bandwagon, thus thanking them for recognizing that you, in fact, were a pioneer of green thinking before the Prius was ever conceived.


Thank you very much.....

#85 The deer are standing out in the middle of the field instead of in the middle of the road, because they could hear you coming over a mile away.

#86 When you go through a road check and the Police Officer tells you he thought a semi was heading his way.

#87 When your doctor knows you arrived at his office, because he hears you when you pull in

#88 When your grandfather thinks your truck is the UPS truck pulling in his driveway

#89 When your truck gets more compliments than your family

#90 When your 20 year old 1st Gen gets better mileage, and outruns most modern diesels

#91 Your tuner is a screw driver, and an allen wrench.

And try explaining to that same, lame Prius driver that the pollution caused by manufacture of just ONE set of the batteries that his car needs every 50,000 miles or so is more toxic than the emissions throughout the entire half-million-mile life expectancy of your 6BT.

I hate to have to do this, but, errors must be corrected.
93) Yep, "93". Due to a rookie mistake earlier in this thread, we are "actually" two digits off. IE: "53" is not a number as far as I'm aware of.
94) There is no need to turn the radio down to hear the sound of the engine.
95) When others are discussing how well their "other brand" tows....you wonder/compare how well yours would tow the same load...sideways.
96) You have two 1999 model Dodge Rams for sale. One gas, One diesel. Priced accordingly. ($800 and $8,000).
97) Some poeple carry a spare belt with them. You carry a spare VP44.
98) You advertise a cummins engine block for sale and when asked: How much ring groove does it have? You simply hang up the phone.

99. Your 7 month old daughter hears your truck come up the driveway and starts looking at the door.

100. The same child turns to look at when she hears a Cummins drive by in parking lot. (this happened this weekend)
