A Ford Lover drove my truck the other night

if i had video'd it the title would have been "When Hay Rides Go Bad" but that's another story.

I needed someone to follow me out into a field to assist getting my tractor and haywagon out of the mud. there was my truck and a ford to pick from. we chose mine because it wasnt clean and had better tires. I drove my other tractor and the ford owner followed in my truck. I have ribbed on this guy for years about his "Flower Poke" and such, so he was REAL ready to see what i have. we made it back to the campfire and all was well. i never said anything (it was killing me not too) after a while my brother starts up ("Piece of Chevy" owner). finally Matt chimes in and asks "what have you done to that thing, i have test driven several Dodges and that thing doesnt feel like any i have driven?" he went on to say he could feel it just wanted to go with just a touch of the loud pedal and such. he wanted to know all about it.

I was lovin it, especialy because my older brother who thinks i am nuts and wont even take a ride in my truck "diesels are just a waste of money" is all you'll ever here from him. was standing RIGHT there, to here it all. gasser people just dont get it

the only way it could have been better was if my brother was the one to have to take the truck in the field. but he was on the hay ride, stuck out in the field.

ON EDIT
maybe this would help explain a few things; Ported head, 370's, 4K GSK, 191DV's, 0 plate, bumped timing, [censored] turbo, ram air intake etc. etc. it's just woken up a.....tad!
