Re: When it comes to TRUCKS…what has been the dumbest thing you have ever done??
Two come to mind:
1-34 years ago, me and bud (RIP) go drinking, decide to go for drive on way home in my 68 GMC. Drive through park and get caught in ditch in someone's front yard in the city. Front bumper on one side ditch, back on other side-no wheels touching. Walk through park and find 5 guys in a VW bug-stoned give us ride to bud's work (gas station) and borrow 77ish 454 low gear wrecker. Pull my truck out and race on way home. Going 97mph (411 gears) and get passed by Citation X-11 like we were still, with a guy mooning us out the passenger window.
2-have girlfriend with me (in 68 GMC) coming back from Seadooing towing a double Seadoo trailer. Go to eat and can't turn around in parking lot with trailer. Brainstorm.....Drive over railway tracks and do U turn. Front wheel gets caught between tracks and rear wheels spin on rock bed and trailer is also stuck in ditch. My German Shepard in box is barking as train is coming. Gal runs from truck screaming what a loser I am for doing this. Crowd of onlookers in restaurant looking at me. Floored truck and it ran down tracks until front wheel caught and truck freed about mile down from lot. Made girlfriend walk, and yes I married her (sigh)
