IMO, bro dozers are mostly the WWE of transportation...a big, goofy joke that some knuckle draggers seem to think is reasonable or reality.

I actually travelled quite a bit with an electrician who was very deeply into the whole performance diesel thing. I learned an awful lot from that guy about something that had honestly never interested me. By the time he was beginning to educate me, I was starting to get fascinated. The depth and breadth of enthusiasm and the technology that supports it matches that of any other motorsport. Big respect, once I started to understand a bit more about it.

But, yeah, every facet of the motorsports hobby has its share of characters. As long as it's all in good fun, even the stereotypes we assign to one another can be pretty damn entertaining. I have a great good time going "incognito" into sports bike circles and talking about all those "Harley douche bags". I find it pretty damn amusing to hang out with the hard core biker set and put down those "squids" on their "crotch rockets" in their "power ranger suits". And, with my new friend the diesel dood, it was fun to go to the all-diesel drags with him and listen to how they felt about all those "spoiled rich pretty boys" in their little sports cars - "my lug nuts take more torque than their motors even make...".

All in good fun. And, you know, across the board everyone who I would recognize as a "true enthusiast" of their chosen motorsport is, to a man (or woman), the real "salt of the earth". Fantastic people all around. And, you know, everyone recognizes the douche bags in their chosen little corner of our hobby, and all are just as embarrassed by them as anyone else. The good people in all of it, though, are just good people.

The amount of tech in a stock diesel truck makes most cars look lame by comparison. 20 psi boost, variable geo turbos, oil/water coolers, high pressure injection etc.
