I was wearing my, as one of my sons calls them, "old man sunglasses", the ones that wrap around the sides. I call them "marriage savers", for obvious reasons. Anyway, I watched the light and hit the throttle as soon as it changed. The guy got on it, but that 400/400/3.55 combination...with a camper shell, yet, in good tune took off and caused him to have to drift in behind me to get to the on ramp! We laughed all the way home. I love my truck! People see it and think slow. It's a little sluggish when I'm towing the camping trailer, I will admit.

Right on!!! I like the marriage savers!
