I have a 40 mile one-way commute every workday, and drove the Dmax today just to keep it exercised.
There is a 7 mile stretch of road construction where the divided highway goes down to one lane, and the speed limit drops from 70 to 50 mph. I was driving along with the cruise set on 50, when a couple in a minivan zoomed up behind me and rode so close that I could not see their headlights in my rear view mirror.
They stayed that way for about 5 miles, when the left lane opened back up and the 70 mph speed limit resumed.
Just before the lane opened, I clicked the cruise off, let the boost fall to zero, and then rolled the coal. I had the PPE on the 350 setting. :sifone:
I was careful not to do a burnout, keeping just enough throttle to ensure that the black cloud kept pouring out while the minivan idiot tried to swerve around it into the left lane.
Its a pity that he misjudged the wind, which carried the smoke over into his lane. :sifone: He would slow down, as would I, and every time that he tried to accelerate around me I would hit the go pedal and keep him in the smoke cloud. And I mean SMOKE CLOUD.
I finally got tired of the $4.79 a gallon fun and set the cruise on 70. He cautiously passed me, and both the driver and his lady friend looked closely at me and the truck trying to figure out why it was on fire (or whatever they thought was wrong with it). I do not think that it ever dawned on them that the mile long smoke cloud was purely intentional. :smilewinkgrin:
