Re: Its official these trucks hate me
Thanks for giving me some funny reading to cheer me up after dealing with dealership morons on my GM rebuilt tranny (described in another thread).
This reminds me of a few stories:
When I was in 8th grade, I spent Christmas with my buddy's dad & stepmom on their horse ranch in California. His dad had a brand new F250, and his step mom had an immaculately restored early Mercedes SL. We decided to move the SL out of the garage since we were going to weld a bracket on one of our bikes (better not risk any sparks or scratches). Glenn gets in the car and I push it out of the garage. As we start down the hill, he just lets off the clutch, and it just starts turning over the engine as it chugs down their steep driveway. I'm dragging by the rear bumper trying to slow it down, yelling "BRAKES!!!!!" It eventually came to a stop when it smashed against the F250... I learned a lot about body work that week, as we helped his dad do all the repairs...
I rented my house out when I moved out of state, and the tenants turned out to be a stripper and her husband. She was hot as hell and dumb as a post. When her car didn't start the day before they moved in (as they were packing up their old house), she remembered hubby jumping across the starter solenoid once before (Ford Mustang). It took her through the garage door and against the back wall, shattering both her legs.
