can't find reverse!

[shelby987]

This is actually more of a funny/irritating story.
I have been really busy the last couple of days with work and trying to get my truck ready to go pick up another truck in indy, so yesterday I had to have my girlfriend take my truck to the hitch shop to get a hitch put on it (yes she drives my truck, and she is quite good at it....unlike some others). Well, I guess she got there (completely forgot all the stuff I told her to ask/request before buying the hitch), but she handed over the keys and was told it would be 30-45 mins. Well, 10 mins later a guy comes back from behind the counter and tells her that something is wrong with the truck, the kid trying to pull it into the bay can't get it into reverse. She walks to the back lot to find this 18yo trying to put my transfer case into reverse.....it was moved out of the space she had parked it in (so obviously he got it to move at some point......thank god I wasn't there I think I would have made the kid cry! She tried to explain, its a column shifter.....3 on the tree.....the guy didn't get it, so she ran it through the gears.....still didn't get it, I guess he tried to toss the linkage around like an automatic column shift.....she offered to pull it into the bay for him but was told "sorry, that's a liability".....my response....."how about you replace my syncro's and transfer case then....I am pretty sure you are now liable for those!"

If you don't know, ask! This is a new low from the guy that used a sawed off broom handle to prop up my hood a while back when he couldn't find the hood prop (then told me that they didn't put a huge dent in my hood with it.....but when you scrap the red paint off the broom handle under the hood of a black car....you don't have much ground to stand on)


I will step down now!
