I was driving up a wet highway today and here comes Mr Big Rig up the right lane. The exhaust was so loud I could here it when he was 4 car lengths behind me. I had my phone right next to me and grabbed this quick photo. When he's done passing on the right, he steps on it, which causes a down shift and the exhaust note goes up a couple octaves and gets even louder of course. He cleared a couple cars ahead of us by mere feet as he pushed his way up through traffic. I was sure I'd find him or victims of his behavior in the ditch up ahead.

Whats up with dudes like this??

What is the right title for this guy?

A. Jar Head

B. Hemi Head

C. Dick Head

D. Motor Head

E. All of the above

Sorry, had to vent. Being a biker makes me very sensitive to aggressive drivers.

Also, Is it true that the size of a man's exhaust is inversely proportional to the size of his unit? Just askin.

 
First all, Its not a Hemi, Its a Cummins!

JarHead works as well. But personally I prefer MoFo!

Actually it does say Hemi on the rear silver stripe, so it may not be a diesel.

I do like the step's on the rock rails, looks like N-Fab nerf steps.

The driving may bother me, but the truck doesn't -- to each his/her own.

If you like it.... ride it.

 
I nearly got mowed down on my Feej by a guy in a pickup like that when he changed lines not quite in front of me. White truck, stupid stack exhausts, had "Untouchable" written on the tailgate instead of the model name.

After that, he used an empty left turn lane and ran a red light to pass 6 or 8 cars.

I have 911 on my Bluetooth voice dial (never know when you might be lying alone in a ditch somewhere dark) so I called him in. :rolleyes:

If you're out there, dude, and you don't like it, well, tough! I know what your sunburned shaved head looks like, and I know I'm considerably bigger than you.

(How's that for compensating?) :D

Hemi drivers seem to lack the sensibilities of normal people, either that or they have permanently located themselves at the level of a 15 year old on the maturity scale. I had a hemi driver try to race me (on the FJR) a month ago, what a moron... I guess he had never thought about the weight to horsepower relationship. Or maybe he thought all those goofy decals made the truck faster.

 
I was cruising on my Wing in the 405 carpool lane ~80 listening to my tunes when a lifted pickup passed me at ~100, completely drowning out my music - with his knobbie tire whine! :dribble:
