Thumbs up The Noise!

Okay guys I know I'm weird but I'll bet I'm far from alone on this. This weekend while coming home from our Allis-Chalmers tractor club Christmas party we made a trip across town that had us going under some long overpasses that covered about 8 lanes of the highway. Well while under them I couldn't resist the temptation to let the Cummins roar through it's BHAF and straight piped 4" exhaust. Man I love that noise! My wife says it hurts her ears when I do that but to me it was sweet music. Well while on my way home tonight alone I made my way under an old concrete railroad overpass where the road is on a fairly steep grade. Although the temperature was in the 40s I couldn't resist the temptation again and rolled the windows down and powered up the hill Gotta love that Cummins music. So guys how about it anyone else weird like me? Let's hear about it.

When I bought mine the first thing I did was install a new Alpine CD player and speakers. But ... I never use it. I like to cruise along and listen to the clatter of the Cummins instead. I guess I'm wierd too!

I have to agree with this one. Anyone know of any BOMBs for the passenger power window? Mine never seems to go down fast enough with I see a nice concrete wall coming up on the right side.

Whew! I thought I was the only one that did that. I thought the wife would kill me when I put my Scotty II in with the hole. She actually likes it. She says that it makes me smile and that makes her happy. Guess I'll just have to get more things that make me smile and she'll be happy with me all the time.

Good woman better keep her!

Personally, long tunnels do it for me. Turbo whine sends chills down my spine. Mr. Flashdancr says I’m weird but that’s what he likes about me.

I don't know about putting scotty in the hole, but I jam on it every chance I get, although I try not to completely an annihilate the "under bridge" human livestock.
