The Democrats have a great history of not being able to control their sexual urges. JFK Slick Willie, just to name two. Overall the people of the Democratic party have shown themselves to be worthy of scorn and should have rotten fruit hurled in their general direction.
TRC-176 (military microwave communications equipment)operators and maintenance personnel have been roasting hot dogs for years. Just put it on a stick and put it in front of the dish for a few seconds, the link drops but comes back up when you're done.
A multi-million dollar tactical microwave.
True, a pickup doesn't corner like a sports car, but a hopped up Dodge with a Cummins turbo diesel will cream most cars on the road, has seatbelts for 6, haul a ton of stuff, and can tow 25,000 lbs. To me it seems this is a good mix of features. Plus lighting up 6 tires has got to be fun.
Almost any car can be made fast, it's a function of cubic dollars.
Fast pickups can be fun and useful at the same time. It is expensive to make a 7500 lb vehicle fast because the parts have to be very heavy duty. 600 hp from a Cummins turbo diesel comes from about 12-1400 lbs of torque. Not very many car drivetrains can withstand that. I have tossed around the idea of putting a Cummins turbo diesel in a car, but it would require 4X4 1 ton pickup drivetrain to hook up and not break anything. What kind of car trans and rearend can withstand 2000+ lbs of torque @ 1000 hp? How much fun would that be? How much fun would it be watching your turbo boost gauge reading over 100 lbs from a pair of turbos in series? How loud would that Cummins diesel be in a car, might need earpulugs.
Check out the discussion forums at these sites, aftermarket parts or performance areas.
I know that a simple box put 50hp and 150 lbs of torque in my pickup instantly. There are other boxes that can add to that also. These mods seem to be much more of a value in diesel engines compared to gas. I believe there is much more room in this area, not too many truck drivers are geeks or hackers.
There are people making close to 800hp and about 1700lbs of torque in a dialy driven pickup that stil gets 20+ mpg.
If I had known how responsive the mods were I would have bought a diesel pickup 10 years ago.

It is so much fun to leave a ricer in a big cloud of black smoke, even more fun to spank a $120,000.00 Mercedes with a 7500 lb "bubba truck".

Human shields, HA, tie a infrared lamp to their heads, place them near Iraqi military installations and use them as human targets!

Obviously Bobby Brown has not heard the Frank Zappa song "Bobby Brown".

Diesel used to make me nauseous too, now that I have built up a tolerance it smells like power. I doesn't smell as good as Sunoco 260 though.
