That is hilarious, cause I have done this too many times with my work truck (a chevy gasser).

Secondly, to the original list, I do have my wife drive by just to hear what my audience hears! I busted a gut at that one! So true!

...you shut off your truck and listen intently to see how long it takes for the turbo to stop spinning.

Once you get home you let the vehicle idle for a couple minutes to let the EGT cool down....only to realize you drove your wife's car.

you can remember the correct readings for your MAP, ECT, EOT, FMP, FLP, FVP, EGT.... etc, but you can´t remember the PIN to your ATM card.

When your girl acknowledges that the Powerstroke is wife #1 and she is wife #2

When you can't understand why anyone would not want a diesel.

And when you'll find any excuse to haul a load or pull a trailer, just cause you love hearing your baby work

When your mother and girlfriend complain about the rough ride and you have no clue what the are talking about.

Get your parents addicted to blowing black smoke every chance they get

Convince family that they need to sell their gassers to buy a diesel (my mom is harping on dad right now bout this)

What use to be a nice truck before you bought a diesel is now a piece of chit because it has spark plugs

Let your brother take your truck for a date because its a diesel because you have the satisfaction that the girl knows you drive a diesel

As soon as you buy a mod its back to saving money for the next mod and anything else that does not pertain to your truck can wait till money is freed up.

Having joy of the owner of the local ford dealer ship tell you they can fix the knock and you get to tell its suppose to be like that and that he should stick to the gassers for the little boys

Have joy explaining how each mod benefits your truck in get detail

Explain to people that the black smoke is not a bad thing

When you leave your gas vehicle running while you are filling up.

I can relate to so many of these,

How about using the truck (semi) pumps because there were gassers sitting at all the normal diesel pumps, (that and its allot quicker), though cashiers tend to get confused when you only get in $50 of diesel from those truck pumps.

How about when you are always pleading to the wife that the next thousand dollar mod will only increase fuel mileage. (Not fuel economy )

Explaining to Prius loving tree huggers that the burger king that made their triple whopper puts out more bad emissions into the atmosphere making their meal than a loaded tractor trailer driving down the interstate for 143 miles.
