So my younger brother calls me up today. Really excited and adrenalined up. He's so excited he can hardly speak. I can tell he's in the car so I ask what the **** his problem is.
"Just had my first really good race with the new truck", he replies.
Background: He picked up a new blue F-150 SCrew a month or so back. Drove it for a week and came by to show it to me. What do you think, he asks? Really slow...you're a ***, I reply. I suggest he take his dead stock truck back and get the dealer to install the Roush supercharger 670 HP kit. Truck still looks completely stock, of course.
He's driving down the road and some dude with a really nice truck, lifted, wheels, flares, loud exhaust and the usual is revving and gunning off every light for a few miles in front of him. Finally, they get to the red light where the street turns into a three lane freeway. He and the dude side by side. The dude looks over and revs like crazy. Loves his truck and loves the noise. My bro loves the guy's truck, too. Really nice, apparently.
My brother nods and they wait for green. Bro gives him full first jump and it's on. He catches up the couple of truck lengths quickly and then just blows away from the dude. The guy catches up and rolls down the window.
"What the **** is that thing?"
Supercharged, replies my brother. The guy can't get over himself thumbs upping and being happy as hell to get beat.
My brother is definitely HOOKED! Never heard him so excited. And this is just supposed to be his hunting, lake/ranch and shitty road winter vehicle. LOL He hinted when he got the truck supercharged that he might not even bother with his daily anymore. (Macan Turbo, which he wouldn't buy until he had checked that it could hold 120 Canada geese decoys.) He likes the F-150 that much.
Now I'm kinda wanting one.....
