Well I just left work this morning about 4:00 A.M. and I was going home. I figured I would stop at Carl's Jr. and get some breakfast on the way, so I pulled in to the drive through and placed my order. I shut down the engine so I could hear the speaker and then I went to the window. I got to the window and then this kid about 17 opens the window and is looking at my truck like all over and talking but I could not hear him so I shut it off. He said " hey what is wrong with your truck it sounds like it is broken.". then he leans out and reads the fender and ask me" what is a Coomines Torboe mean?" I tried to explain to him it was a 6 cylinder diesel engine and I was getting mileage in the double digits and so on . I don't think he understood anything past when I said it was a dodge. I got my food and left for home. This is scary that this might sometime breed and produce offspring. I have a bad feeling that our future is doomed. It looks obvious that someone has wee-wee'd in the gene pool. Where do these people hide in the daytime?

 

At least he didn't say, "That thing got a Hemi in it?"......Sweeeet.

 

Funny stuff!!! I had a fling once who went with me to go skydiving. I had never taken her in the truck before and as soon as she heard the turbo whistle she said, "Do you hear that noise? I think your truck is broken!". Now, being the prankster that I am I played this one out all day. Every time she heard it she was asking me "do you hear that noise?, there it is again, don't you hear it?" I kept saying what, hear what, until finally she caught me laughing. Needless to say, I don't consort with that one any more!

 

In the short time I have owned this truck I bet I have had ten people say "that thing got a Hemi in it?" to which I, with great pleasure, have replied no it has a Cummins Turbo Diesel! I have been asked to turn the truck off several times in a drive through situation he he he.

 

LMAO!! Oh man that's good stuff!

 

You third gen guys have to turn your engine off? I figured that yall were to quiet. Now us 2nd gen guys definately have to turn the engine off. No one mistakes my engine for a hemi.

 

The gene pool needs a little chlorine, that is for sure. And when is Sonic gonna make a stall that I can fit into without taking out the passenger side menu with my front bumper!

 

The only problem with the Gene pool is that there is NO life guard....

 

.....or one of these.

 

Not if it's running, anyway. I had a guy ask me when I was in the carwash the other day if I had a Hemi in it. But he was driving one of those Cadillac SUV-like things, the Marmalade or whatever they call it, so that might explain his stupidity.

I just pointed to the badge on the door.

 

I am so used to turning my truck off in the drive thrus since i cant hear them..but a new one was a few weeks back i was at the bank sittin there waitin for them to send that ll tube back to me and the lady came across the intercom and asked me to turn my truck off cus she couldnt hear the lady in the next lane..like this was my problem?? so i politely smiled and said the sooner you send back that tube the faster my truck will be gone

I've had that happen to me at the drive through. I just laughed.

 

I was at Walgreen's the other day getting some meds and I happend to be in the second drive through lane and the girl at the window says in a snippy way "um, we usually ask people to turn their trucks of cuz we can't here". I leaned out the window and said "uh? I can't hear you". lol. She just went ahead and filled my order.....................yea, I'm a redneck.

 

Hey this guy was so dumb that I don't think he even knew what a Hemi are.
I could have had a better conversation with a sesame seed bun..

takes all kinds...

I agree on the Sonic thing... those stalls are way too small for my towing mirrors.

I've been asked, more of a hand gesture actually, by a person several stalls away(at Sonic) to turn off my truck....
