My credo
Buy it, build it, and drive it like you stole it
So today we had a 25 ton bus break down in the parking lot. The tow truck driver got here and couldn't get lined up due to the position it broke down. So I jumped in the boss's F350 locked in the hubs and away we went. Tow truck driver hooked his chain and Ford tough was put to the test..

He had miles of room, he must not be a very good operator.

My fiesta could move that.
 
Years ago, my mothers duramax wouldn't start one cold snowy day.

-Called AAA, they sent a guy with a ramp truck out to jump it.

-Guy in ramp truck slides into the ditch on his way out of the driveway, decides to use his bed to push the truck out of the ditch.. and immideately blows a hydraulic line.

-AAA then sends larger ramp truck to retrieve first ramp truck, larger ramp truck then gets stuck on the big hill at the end of our road.

They ended up needing to send one of the GIANT wreckers that can haul a semi along with its trailer to haul both ramp trucks up the hill lol.

Yup, some days you're the dog, some days you're the hydrant.

I thought so as well but he was worried about getting it turned around. That being said I didn't mind jumping in the dually and pulling it up the lot so he could hook to the rear. That power stroke didn't even sweat it. It's a beast haha

This would have been a better story if you started with, "Hold my beer, I have to film this..."
