I LOVE driving a diesel!
me too. I like when they wizz around you and get stuck in town. diesels sit and the perfect level to just shine the lights in. plus when you get up on THEIR ass it's like, OMG this guy is gonna run my ass over! hahaha and if you got a good ol turbo diesel, they aint gettin away.- IDIcaveman
