The only thing that brings me joy when I see that, is knowing that they’re sending their turbos to an early, expensive grave. And wiping their warranty in the process, if it has warranty.

It is pretty bad.

I have seen way more of these “exploding diesel dyno pull” videos by now than should exist. If they insist on pulling this shit in front of a crowd, shouldn’t they at least do it inside something not unlike a batting cage? Someone will die doing this, and I will say “I told you so,” because I’m telling you now.

That cloud of smoke is sickening. I'm no crazy environmentalist, but damn that's a lot of particulate matter. 

They just need to turn it up a notch.

This is the reason that the drag cars have that extra bit of separation that this truck did not.

Now ... if only this would happen to every other coal-rolling assclown out there.

So...Much...Bro...Power...

Except this fucking kid. This fucking kid can go to a fucking bar if they fucking want to...

Yeah SXM was a God send when it came along and I didn’t have to chase radio stations as I drove from VA to SC.  I rarely listen to regular radio unless it is local news or NPR.

CBC3 is my mainstay on Sirius

Better...

The new work truck came with a three month trial of satellite radio and it was mildly OK but spent that summer driving through stevens and blewitt passes, and it wasn’t worth talking work into paying for a subscription, especially since they pay for a data connection on the work phone and I can just tether spotify...

It broadcasts to rural populations, and AM is king for pure range. 

They care about range, not sound quality. Hence AM broadcast.

The great thing about Art Bell was that even though he believed in aliens visiting the earth, he still knew that a good number of the people calling him were loons. Even then, he’d let them carry on as long as their insanity was harmless and even participated. His replacement took everything way too seriously and at…

I have about 10 xm stations on my presets that I rotate through, and while yeah they do repeat songs, it’s still LIGHT YEARS better than terrestrial radio.

To give you an example, living in the heart of the Midwest in Iowa the radio station that reigns supreme is 1040 WHO. Not for cooky reasons like the ones that previous comments suggest. No, its because of The Big Show. A show dedicated to ag-related talk in the middle of the day that features latest trends, prices,…
