Thanks Dad. He said maybe I had thought of this as a way to beat Flat rate.
I have actually thought of this at times.
I know I have dumped stuff out of my pickup backing up at full throttle and slamming on the brakes
All a guy could say is, "It ran when I pulled it!"
Sometimes the best thing about being a guy is never having to grow up. That was awesome!
ReplyDeleteHeh. Reminds me of the dumbass who tried to yank a Jeep out of a mud bog by tying a jerk strap to the roll cage of the Jeep, then zooming his pickup truck away from the mud bog *real fast*. Hint: the roll cage of a Jeep Wrangler is tied to the *body*, not to the *frame*. Guess what came out of the mud bog -- and what didn't? It looked sort of like the above, except it was the whole engine AND FRAME that came bursting out of the front of the Jeep, heh!
ReplyDeleteExcept in the case of the Jeep, the guys didn't *want* to do the world's fastest frame swap, while those crazy dudes above... well. Let's just say that they remind me of a lot of the rednecks I grew up with, and leave it at that ;).
Reminds me of the tooth-string and door ploy. Never fell for it.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the guy couldn't get the starter out.
