They're only cool when you are hauling a 50+ ft toy trailer with living quarters or a 50+ ft horse trailer with living quarters.GoChiefs wrote: That thing is straight up ugly.

I assume you're referring to the smoke stacks in the bed? I agree..I love it on Diesels..but I just laugh whenever I see a gas truck with smoke stacks in the bed. But the stacks don't affect you're gas mileage or anything like that though.I Wear Pants wrote: It's the trucks with like 6 foot exhaust pipes that get to me.

I like the F650's..but all the things he did to it just ruins the looks of it IMO.LJ wrote: They're only cool when you are hauling a 50+ ft toy trailer with living quarters or a 50+ ft horse trailer with living quarters.

No, when people go out of their way to make the stacks on their truck huge. You do not drive a semi-truck and you don't need semi stacks.LJ wrote:You mean stacks on a diesel?I Wear Pants wrote:It's the trucks with like 6 foot exhaust pipes that get to me.

This kind of thing:
And again, it's not like I really care but I just think it's a bit tasteless. Unless there is some sort of practical reason that your exhaust pipes could probably double as a medium sized apartment then you probably shouldn't have them.

I'm not going to go into a whole dissertation, but it actually does serve a purpose. Diesel trucks move so much air that a large exhaust system is advantageous. While I don't like stacks, but the improved exhaust flow does help the turbo.I Wear Pants wrote:No, when people go out of their way to make the stacks on their truck huge.

Yes..they do serve a purpose..although..unless that diesel is modded up a bit..there is no need for stacks THAT big. That just looks ridiculous!

Like I said, unless you have some real need for that extra power ( I'm willing to bet most don't as I usually see stacks like in the picture on trucks that I would safely bet aren't used for any or much work) then the stacks seem pretty stupid to me. I guess I'm just not one for much excess.

BTW, besides the stacks that's a pretty sweet Duramax

Most of them, yes. Very few people mod cars in a way that is appealing.LJ wrote:So then you think every modded car is stupid?I Wear Pants wrote: Like I said, unless you have some real need for that extra power ( I'm willing to bet most don't as I usually see stacks like in the picture on trucks that I would safely bet aren't used for any or much work) then the stacks seem pretty stupid to me.

If you want to see an example drive by the Sheetz in Alliance on a Friday night. There will likely be several Cobalts/Civics with huge spoilers and stupid amounts of neon lights revving their exhaust modded engines all night.
Edit: I do agree that the truck I posted is pretty cool looking without the stacks.

Actually the Cummins 5.9 is the best, but there is no better combo than a LB7+Allison.GoChiefs wrote:Powerstroke > any diesel out there.LJ wrote: LB7+Allison>*
The powechoke 6.0 and 6.4 suck and the 7.3 eats transmissions like a fat girl eat cake.

Put the Cummins in the Powerstroke = GOAT. Remember rumors flying around about it a few years ago..but it never did happen. Man that would be a great truck.LJ wrote: Actually the Cummins 5.9 is the best, but there is no better combo than a LB7+Allison.

I don't agree with the Honda Prelude...it is awesome, and I don't care what I look like when I borrow my 82 year old grandmother's car. lol

No one's mentioned a Del Sol yet, or as it's also known, "Half a convertible is better than none".
I once had to take a 1,000 mile round trip in a rented car. It was a cherry red PT Cruiser. Driving through Kentucky was fun...I did exactly the speed limit to no cop could stop me and tell me what a purty mouth I have.

Not sure how many times the Miata has been mentioned on here, but come on, who wouldn't wanna drive a Miata like this?
