Re:Noise complaints?

I read the thread about CH looking for a red neck girl. My gal fit the description except that she's 47. Another problem is that she only wears Levis. No Ranglers for this cowgirl!

Re:Noise complaints?

IMHO a couple R5 V-16 Enterprise diesels with a combined rating of 17,000HP takes the cake. Each one is bigger than my truck and weighs in at about 300,000 pounds. How do you type a grunt? hehe

Re:Noise complaints?

I guess I'll toss in my two cents. For BigBlue, I am only 19 ;D And for cattlehauler, my girlfriend love my truck. She liked it most last year when I pick her up from her school for her off-campus lunch days (she is a senior in HS) and all her friends know when I arrive, since I arrive about 5 minutes early for just that reason 8) <br> As far as complaints....It's always nice seeing people roll up windows and call me number-1 with the wrong finger at traffic lights. They always get the &quot;fare-thee-well&quot; cloud when the light turns green

I love the sound of a 750 lb calve's hoof as it whistles past my ear. I hate the sound of a 650 lb calve's hoof as it makes contact.<br><br>I hate vaccination day.<br><br>Rod
