  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

Not in my Buick

    Out in my 2000 F-350 4X4, four door, crew cab, long bed, single rear wheel 7.3 powerstoke, Thursday evening rush hour. Sitting at the light in the left lane because the right lane ends up about 300 yards and merges left with a cement wall to force you left. Now remember I live in G'ville with 50K stupid college kids that go to the University of Florida. So a rich kid in his "Lexus" with friends in it and music thumpin decides to take the right lane thinking he is gonna slide past the pickup.

    My diesel has the usual mods 4" downpipe off the turbo, 4" straight pipe exhaust exiting our the right past the rear tire, tuner, big intake, big HPOP, 4" lift, 36" all terrains.

    Light goes green and I tree the guy badly putting the whole 23" of truck ahead of his Lexus.
    Unfortunately I blow the tires away smoke billowing from the fenders and tires howling like a big dog in heat coming up on boost even with the detroit locker, damn I should have engaged the 4X4.
    He pulls out of the cloud of black diesel and tire smoke to my front fender before I hook and we're dead even with no one pulling the other.
    Trans shifts to third where this thing really comes into it own and I begin to walk him badly so now he's at my back tire.
    We are at the merge arrows now with traffic up ahead in the single lane and I back off but don't brake so he can pull in behind. I guessed wrong and he does the ricer flyby almost hitting the front of the truck as the cement wall is forcing him towards me and he's still in the gas.
    I'm thinking he's gonna cream the last car in line up ahead and brake as he is in full brake mode with this anti-locks working hard.
    He's short of space by 1-2 inches and just barely bumps the Chevy Cavalier. Great brakes on that Lexus I must say.
    A 50 something lady gets out of the Chevy looks at her car, yells at the kid and takes off, no damage I guess.
    I'm waiting for the kid to get out and start with me but he takes off too turning off to the left at the first road.

    I don't look for races in the beast but I just could not help myself.
