The older members can relate to this happenstance.
Went to my dads to start his 69 Bronco.
Get in, turn key, pump throttle, turn key, starter spins but no start.
Pump throttle some more, turn key still no start.
Look at dash and it has two *****. One for throttle
and one for choke.
Pull choke out, turn key and motor purring.
Push choke in and drive off.

Moral of story is how quickly we forget how it used to be.

 

amen to that. I get as close as possible and set the high idle to 1500rpms...I get some strange looks but I don't care. One guy got nervous and went to another pump one day. I walked over and explained to him why i did what I did. at that point, he was very friendly but he had never even thought about the diesel pumps before!

 

Gotta remember,one goes in P,turn key and remove....one leave in D ....push big square yellow button,turn key and remove.

 

I am guilty of that one LOL

 

I love it when im using the gas vehicles and i leave it runnig when i stop some just like my truck but i come back out and jump and you hear the loud nast noise of metal grinding, ya i try to start gassers while they are running because you cant hear it running.

 

Don't you hate it when someone decides to try to race you when you're NOT in your truck? They won't race when they see me in my truck, but they see me in a hoopdie GAS and its green flag racing!!! Little punks.....

 

I seem to get that all the time and i just think that they have a radar that tells them that im in a slow piece of junk!

 

haha I was driving my husbands truck (a auto) and went to slow down for a stop sign and started hitting my foot on the ground looking for the clutch while thinking "what do I do, how do I stop" then I realized I dont have to do anything other than hit the brake lol.


I hate when im pulling a trailer and for some reason people think the because you have a trailer at red lights and even sometimes driving they can ride 2inches from the trailer. I dont know about yall but it seems like people ride my butt more when I have a trailer.


I hate when your filling your truck up and someone drives by and rev's up over and over again like your just gonna stop everything that your doing jump in your truck and go race them.

ect ect ect im a woman so my list could go on and on, we always have something to _____ about lol

 

LOL

I'm liking the honesty! jk

btw I'm from Midlothian....surprised i haven't seen ya driving around when im back home.

 

I hate when the kids that know nothing about diesel trucks at school (I'm still in H.S. people lol) think that diesels take like 5 minutes to get to 60mph and that any car could beat a diesel in a drag race. (man did I make that boy cry that day, haha)

 

Well I havent had the truck very long so that may be why. Before this one I was mainly seen driving around in a lifted 97 f350...yeaq I know its a ford but atleast its the 7.3 instead of the 6.uhh ohh lol

 

when people say that ford owns cummins

 

light blue with stacks?

 

that is the one

oh and speaking of stacks I hate hate hate when people come up to me and say "hey I like those snokles you got on your truck, how deep have you taken it."

Seriously people..............lol

 

I talked to you on myspace a year or more ago then. That was back when I was getting my tranny put in the truck.....I was at Ennis one night when yall were. My truck didnt have nearly as much stuff on it then
