[AT] synthetic oil - gas versus diesel trucks

[John Hall]

The noise and smell are my 2 biggest knocks against diesel vehicles. Why 
on earth diesel engines in vehicles have to be so %&*$ loud is beyond 
me. We've only had 4 pcs of diesel machinery here on this farm--2 
4020's, 4430 and a 6620 combine. None of them at full throttle make the 
racket a diesel pickup idling does. Lets be honest, Semi-trucks are 
quieter than pickups. And then there are the idiots that have to get 
more HP and change the exhaust to make it louder. Whatever happened to 
walk softly and carry a big stick? Love the durability and longevity of 
diesels, just wish Detroit would quit marketing to the same old 
defective gene that causes males in this country to "compensate" for 
their inadequacies.
