Theres no way you can pull this out!
Quote from my buddy after he lost it and almost rolled down a hill. In a Dodge ram 2500 diesel. He gave me a beer and an apology after I got him back on the road. The other is "is that a diesel?"

Parents are like that. My mom doesn't get it, but she likes my Jeep because it's 'nice' and 'fun to drive, for a truck'. Dad totally gets it, though. Caught him tearing around a dirt parking lot getting air on the bumps when he was supposed to just be going to get it to pick me up since I was sore (dislocated knee, floating knee cap due to torn ligaments, broken shoulder in 3 places. Motorcycles are fun, until you hit the ground!). He's been pretty supportive of the rebuild, and is the one who hinted I should build a stroker since I'll have the motor out anyway.
