In recent years, Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel has taken away a lot of my soot clouds, therefore I can't embarrass those I pass as severely or keep those tailgaters away like I used to. However, if I've done a lot of city driving recently and haven't gotten that carbon cleared out on the highway in a while, I can make a nice cloud like the old days.


The rest of those guy's videos are vids made by him of operating a large truck at high speed while using a camera to point out the bad driving of others. EPIC FAIL.
Isn't an '82 240D the SLOWEST car EVER! (really, it's in the top 5). A couple months ago I sold my 240D that was upgraded to a 300D - springs, engine etc.

Suze & NCC - sure enough I watched the video before I had posted.

My most embarrassing driver's moment. Check the top right panel and my 1969 Ford Custom.
Not seen: Me, frantically scraping NORML stickers off my rear window before the cops arrived.
