Got to thinking on the way to work today, as I was being passed on both sides on a single lane road. :mad: Ya it's a MA thing. Where you live when two lanes merge into one and then end in an off ramp a 1/4 mile up the road you probably form a single lane and breeze onto the ramp. In MA when the sign says form single lane and the lines end - it means total free for all. First one to the ramp wins. Bonus points if you use the dirt or grass to get there. Double points if you go 2 wide on the ramp. :rant:
The commute home is almost as fun. It's just reverse. Had one try to drive under the back of my old truck last month, on the ramp, he was fighting for possition with guy next to him. Crunched the nose of his car, only took the dirt of my bumper. Then a few miles up the road the 3 lane highway comes to a halt - bumper to bumper. Pay careful attention here in case you ever visit MA. When this happens the blacktop on the right side between solid white line and dirt ( you may know it as the brake down or emergenct lane) this becomes the I'm too special to sit in traffic lane. There is no speed limit in the special people lane, god help the poor guy that actually brakes down. Every once in a while a trooper will sit over a blind hill and he'll have a row of 20-30 cars lines up waiting for their tickets. But makes no difference, same thing next day.
Enough ranting- as I was thinking, my LLY doesn't make any smoke. It would be great if I could make it blow clouds of black smoke (on command), add enough extra fuel and it might even spit some black napome (sp) type substance. Hit it just as a "special person" was blasting by. Would be even better in the summer when their windows were down. Anyone got any ideas? Need to be able to do it stuck in traffic (truck not moving or very slow). So punching it is out. Gotta be a simple way to do it.
