3rd Gen humbling

Yesterday I had a 3rd gen truck blow by me on the freeway. I stealthily caught him, so he jammed on it thinking he would walk me. I stayed right on his bumper like a shadow from the past. He tried to shake me a couple of times with the same results. I could tell he had some mods and money in his truck too.
He finally gave me a grudging "thumbs up" as I went by.
All that and 20 MPG!

Nice...but you're forgetting one thing. You get 20 MPG...AND you don't have a $700 truck payment due on the 1st like he probably does

He had an agressive program, a huge chrome exhaust, lift and stuff, and he was running up on people and jamming it. It was fun to take him down a few notches. I know that's not very Christian on me ....

I have never met " THE MAN UPSTAIRS " but I bet he has a Cummins.

Yeah I beat a BMW a few weeks ago, and my truck isn't even fast. Guy wouldn't even look at me, but he did close his windows!
