After dinner tonight, the ol' lady and I hit the "strip" for a few laps, just to see whats happening (in the 'Rango). Big ol' 2nd Gen Ram is romping around, trying to get various trucks to play with'em. Not really a nice truck, but cool beater. At least 33in mudders, huge headache rack with brake lights on the corners, air-horns on each side (not trains, but pretty loud), no-muffler exhaust (Im assuming). So, I cruise by, burping it a little, let him know I'm there.

I hear him reply. We come up to a light, and he inches up enough to get beside me. Two guys and a chick, couldnt have been more than 17, everyone motioning for my window to come down. They all say "Let me hear that thing!!" This induces a big grin, I tell'em "I'll let ya hear it!" Light turns green, I jump a few times, then lay it down for a sec. HUGE grins and thumbs ups! Next light, I ask'em to let me hear his horns (kinda not what I was expecting, but I smiled and said HELL YEAH) we get going, hear him winding it up, then we hit it. Instant 1 truck length, I let out at like...... 40mph, haha. Horns and grins and thumbs ups!! Haha, made me feel like a youngn again, plus made me feel good bout the truck. They were just some good ol' boys, which are rare at that age 'round here anymore.

Not a real exciting story, I should expect to pull on that thing, but it was fun messing around for a few.

 

Yah, it's still fun to get on it next to these younger folks.....I can still surprise them.

 

sounds like the burg lol. Had a guy in a lifted diesel, probably twin turbo and chipped by the sound of it, try to challenge me on 29 south just past that first food lion. I just smiled and kept goin the speed limit. He floored that thing, and by the time the smoke cleared his truck was gone lol.

 

Ive had a RC furd bust my *** a couple years ago in my '97 GT vert (slowest stangs ever, almost) Granted, my excuse is my clutch was toasting, but it was a mildly modded, 2.73 geard car, nothing to brag about, but she was my baby. Regardless, didnt feel right losing to a TRUCK, lol. Now, I know a little more, I know a little better. The more the smoke, usually the more the spanking, haha.

 

I feel like I just told that furd story on another thread, maybe it was on the stang forum, lol, IDK.... I got that buzz going, please 'scuse me

 

hahaha

 

Hey neighbhor, I had a 84 Toyota 4x4 ext cab, mod 350 chevy engine, turbo 350 trans, narrowed 9-3/4 rear end, 35" tires and a 8" lift. On the occassion I would play in the Lynchburg area. Top end was scary, but it was actually pretty good at the lights. It was also a good time off road. Small gas tank and seriously tough on gas. A real labor of love. We are going to have to have that beer when I get back stateside.

 

That's nice to hear. Thanks for sharing your story.

 

Yoh, my post was directed at 4.7Ram from Lynchburg who knows the local scene and might even have seen my old truck in the area. But I am delighted you enjoyed the tale. Welcome aboard.

 

ahhh kids . what ever happened to driving back in the woods for a drink and a screw? no they drive around wasting 3 dollar gas?? i dont get it
