Default Turbo Fun

Well this mourning on my way to work from out of nowhere this new Ford f150 ec comes flying buy. So i spead up a little to catch up. We get to the light and the guy looks over and starts break torqin it. It was foggy and the road was damp, so when the light turned green he floors it and i just roll into it. By the time i hit 2nd gear and did a little *** swinging i was already about 5-6 truck lengths on him. I held it to about 75 them backed off. Then he does the ricer flyby and just before we get to the next light he pulls right in front of me at the light. So i switch the boost to 8 psi and when the light turns green he nails it again so i just switched lanes and just fly around him. I know it wasn't a fair race but it was fun anyway. I bet that guy was thinking WTF.

I don't think the guy knew what hit him.

Jerry, you're always pickin on the lil guys.......

I bet the Ford boys think you're the local Parish! If you listen hard enough you could probably hear the whispers........

*in hushed tones*

You fellas best be on the look out for this mean HD pickup. That things got whistle and enough HP to put each one of you in yer place. I know, I ran into him this morning and he left me sittin at the light so hard I thought I was in neutral!

oh hell, can I join the fun?

speaking of whine, I got on it a little bit yesterday, and as usual the truck did its twist-up number and shot out down the road like a bat out of hell! I look down and over, as I sit relatively high, and there's two dudes in a Hyuandi Sports Bucket, jaws dropped...........
