Smoke Stories?
This happened just the other day.
I'm a finishing carpenter and we had just finished a house and were packing up all the tools into our various trucks. This particular house we worked on had a neighbour that we all hope to never have. Complained about everything and anything!
Anyways, we were packed up and ready to head out. Lady next door is standing in her driveway beaking off about whatever. My truck just happens to be in the driveway with the tailpipe facing her. You all know where this is going!! It gets better! Whining hag had a little poodle type mutt that only knows how to yap and yap a lot.
Woman is barking, dog is yapping. Dog decides to stick his head in a 5 inch exhaust tip ( I just happened to glance in the mirror)
To the carpet, flame on........POOOFF!!!!!!! Little white dog gets a new hair color!!!!
It was worth the phone call from the supervisor the next day!!!! I'm not allowed back to that house. Wonder why? LOL!!!

Well I guess I have one. I was coming home from work, when I was cut off by a mitsubishi eclipse. The car looked like something out of the fast and furious movie. When he cut in-front of me, he disappeared under the sight of my hood. I thought I was going to hit him. I slammed on the brakes, kissed the windshield, and saw him switch over into the right lane. When we got to the next stop light, his drivers side window was perfectly even with my tailpipe. When the light turned green, I had the comp 5x5, The car disappeared, the road disappeared and the driver of that car had to pull over and get out of the vehicle.
Not so much of a "smoke" story, but anyways I was on the interstate a couple of weeks back in the fast lane when a brand new F-250 PSD rides up on my rear, and I could tell it was 3 younger tuff guys in the truck. Being the nice guy that I am, I moved over to let the SD go past, but when he does and I get back in the lane behind him he starts slowing down and starts dumping black smoke on me about every 5 seconds. My girlfriend knew what was about to happen when I reached down to adjust the TST.
As he continued to slow down, I guess he was wanting me to get mad and pass him on the right so he could nail it when I did. I'm not one for racing, but by this point he has me pinned in and we have slowed down to almost to a crawl which is dangerous on the interstate so I made my move. He must have been watching me like a hawk because the second my truck lurched, he floored it too. Not being a racer, I wasn't sure what would happen but I was shocked to see just how fast I passed him and I'm certain he was too. I think we got up to about 85 or 90 and by then I was well out in front and slowing down, laughing at these kids. Then the best part, I looked up in the rear view to see what they were doing when the wind lifted a bunch of trash and empty pepsi cans out of my bed and deposited all of it on his hood!
I don't know about you guys, but around here these 18-21 yr old guys in diesels all want a piece of another diesel every time they see one.
Happens to me all the time, but this was the first and probably the last time I will play along. I wish that **** movie, "Fast & furious" never happened.

I wish I didn't live in the suburbs... wouldn't mind knocking some more chips off of some more shoulders.
most kids around here have no interest in diesels... gotta get out into the sticks to find 'em. I've had some good runs w/ guys who are a little older, but we always exchange waves and thumbs up after we shut down.
I did run into a kid up in Guthrie, OK a while back though... didn't look any older than 17-18. had his buddies in his red 6.0 CC Powerhoax. he had a big ol 6" chrome tip stickin' out the back, and it was putting out a fair amount of smoke. at the time, I the miter cut stacks and no AFC spring in the pump.
sitting at a light, I have a little blip of the throttle just to get their attention... once we were moving, I gave it 3/4 throttle for a couple seconds... not enough to build any boost, but it'll POUR the smoke out! LOL!
I was hoping he'd get up next to me on the highway, but he lagged back about 1/4 mile or so. oh well...
that's actually one thing that I DON'T miss about my stacks... I couldn't ever get anyone to race me! a couple guys, but for the most part, nothin...
now my truck is back to looking like a slow, wore out POS. I kinda like it that way

I live near a high school. The bus pickup for the students is on the main drag. When they wait for the bus they have a bad habit of sitting on the curb feet out in the traffic making you have to go around them. (faces at pipe height) Well as I pull out from my street and hit the main drag they are only one shift away, so no boost, higher gear off I go. They scatter like chickens, even the tough ones. And they don't catch on as I get them every Friday, wife says I aint nice.
heh, here's a good childish one...
my buddy was home on leave from the Navy for xmas... he had picked up a couple gas powered scooters, and we were driving them around the neighborhood, laughing at what we must look like... I'm 27, he's 31, he's 6'4" 225, I'm 6'4" 240, and we're on these dorky little go ped/scooters
well, these two 12-14yr old kids come cruising up the road the opposite direction on a pair of those little 50cc mini-choppers. I'm smiling/laughing, and I wave at the lead kid, and he smiles back...
a minute later, we're headed back to my buddies house, and we pass the house where the kids w/ the choppers pulled into, and the kid I waved at earlier was standing there looking at us... so I smile and wave again, and he just stands there grinnin' w/ his arms crossed like he's the baddest f'n Hell's Angel you've ever seen
made me laugh even more! LOL!
fast forward about 30 minutes later. I had about 1,000lbs of scrap metal in the bed of the truck, leaving my buddy's house... headed up the street, and who's out in front of his house talking on the cordless phone, standing ON THE CURB?
why, it's mr. chopper boy himself... 3rd gear at 10mph, put it to the wool, and leave Mr. Cool in a big ol' black cloud
later that night I was giving my buddy's dad a ride in the truck because he'd never ridden in it before. I nailed it right there leaving that intersection, and wouldn't you know it, there's a few kids standing out in front of that house. I scared the crap out of a couple of them who were standing by the curb!
that one was unintentional as it was late/dark, but it was pretty good as well.

Not nearly as good as your guys happenings. Mine was kinda accidental. Here is the setting: Nice clear summer day, picked some stuff up with the truck at a house, a half dozen or so people in the front yard sitting around chewing the fat. I back the truck up in the drive next to the yard where everybody is, shut her down load the stuff into the truck me and wife pile back in the cab. Now I must tell you I just got the 12 valver and the idle was set to low at the time so starting her up was easier with a bit of the go pedal. Ya you can picture it, the pipe is pointed right at everybody sitting there no more that 8 feet away. I twist the key, give her some pedal and POOF big ol cloud and everybody starts scrambling for fresh air waving their arms around and such. My wife kinda sinks down in the seat and looks over at me with a glazed look on her face. You know how it is, the little angel on my right shoulder was shaking its head and the devil on my left won out cause I was grinning and chuckling.

LOL, yes and excited truck. hehe, especially when you pour the coal at random people! I would try not to smoke little kids, no matter how obnoxious the get to be. I know what I used to get for being bad...

Hoodless Camero
Years ago, I had a '85 Chevy Blazer with a 6.2 in it.
I pulled out onto one of the local 2-lane highways and was tooling along when one of the local hot-rod hot-heads in his recently built hoodless Camero comes flying up behind me in a big hurry. Traffic was comming the other way not allowing him to pass me, seeing how I never liked this guy, I decided to smoke him out. I dropped the 6.2 to 2nd gear and smoked him good with all 125hp!
When the traffic passed he put 'er down and passed me like I was in reverse, glasspack-sidepipes roaring, tires smoking, the whole bit. He got 2 lengths in front of me and I heard a big POW! White smoke out the top, oil out the bottom. He managed to scatter the entire motor over about 1/4 mile of that highway before he got it hauled to a stop on the side, still in front of me.
I waved when I went by, still smokin'.
