Well this is one of my more recent ones. It's probably my first in this truck.

Last week or the week before, I was going for one of my late night drives (I just got back from one, and it's 11:00 here), and I was getting into my truck. Started it up, and was finding which CD to put in. Then, a cop comes around and he sees me sitting there (I press the brakes while/after I start the truck until Im ready to go), and then he shines that spotlight on me. He didn't stop, but just kept driving.

So I'm kind of thinking about, wow that was weird (and I was hoping he wouldnt stop and make me get out or something suspecting I was stealing the truck).

So in any case, I put it in drive, do my driving, then about oh, 45 minutes to an hour later, I get back home. I go to engage the parking brake, only to find I never disengaged it! OOPS. (although that's not exactly what I said )

Sure enough, when I get out of the truck, the pleasant smell of "You drove around with your parking brake on" greets me.

As far as i can tell they still work though
And in any case, Im glad it was just my p-brake.

Feel free to laugh, share your's, etc.

 

This is more of an oh crap.

Few years back had an 80' F100 that originally had a three on the tree. Replaced it with a hurst floor shifter.
Well being a good dad, was taking the kids to the circus that was in a near by town. As I rounded this intersection I went to shift from 1st to 2nd, and darn, suddenly had no shifter. Coasted into a nearby gas station to look underneath. Found the clip holding the linkage was gone. Now I am like 10 blocks from the circus and the kids are like whats wrong dad, lets get going. After looking all over the cab, engine, everywhere for something to clip on there to hold it I could find nothing. I get in and start to tell the kids that it doesnt look like we will be going. As I am telling them this, I look at my steering wheel and thinking of the cord that held the steering wheel cover on. I unrap it from the wheel, slide under the truck, rap that thing all around the linkage and tie it off. Get back in and she shifts. Off we go to the show. Drove there and some 30 miles home too. Best part is when we get going again, the son looks at me and says dad, your cool, you can fix anything.

Thats my story.

Sled...

 

LOL! About a month ago, I drove 60 miles from my house to my friend's garage with my P-brake on, and it was interstate highway the whole way!

 

Well this happened about 9 years ago when I was 20. I was up town hanging out and one of my friends showed up on his motorcycle. We were talking and decided to head out to his house. Well by that time another friend of ours showed up and we all decided to go out to my friends house. Well my friend on the bike took off down the highway, while myself and my other friend took off down this gravel road. Well he was in front of me kicking up a big DUST trail. I was behind him about 30 to 40 yards running about 60 mph, when all of a sudden I came out of his dust trail and wouldn't you know it there was a "T" road intersection!!!! OOPPSS.... You guessed it, went thru that intersection at about 40 mph. Did a Dukes of Hazzard and landed up in a bean field and came within 2 feet of hitting a big tree. That was with my first FORD Pickup, an 88' Short Bed 2wd. Superizingly {sp} it didn't total the truck. Bent both front "I" beams, part of the frame, bumper, Tranny crossmember, and front right quarter panel. Total repair bill, $1700. That was with some used parts to replace the damaged ones. I was really surprised that the truck held up like it did. I learned from that one, I thought I was on the road just west of were this happend but I wasn't. lol....

PBALL

 

Hehe, I have one similar to that too PBALL, except I wasnt driving.

Me and a friend were driving in his lil corolla. I knew my way around, but he was driving. It was pretty wet out (but wasnt raining anymore) and it was pretty foggy. Going about 50 (in a 40). I was talkin to him and the next thing I knew we were comin up on a T-intersection. I told him and he slammed on the brakes, we slid like 50 ft, and we end up stopped right in the middle of the intersection.

AH, good thing it was late. Was funny but woulda sucked bad if someone was coming from either direction.

 

about 1000 years ago, i commuted to a college around 20 miles from where i was living.

got out of class, jumped in the car (1976 mercury monarch, used) cranked the tunes, pulled onto the highway and headed home.

had the music cranking as i cruised down the highway at around 70 mph or so. something felt a little funny with the car while i was driving, think i turned the music down for a second or two, then back up and kept going.

get off the highway, and was pretty near home, then realized that i did the whole trip in L2. it was an automatic with the drive selector on the column.

that car was slow as a pig, and wasnt much fun to drive, but you just couldnt kill it. had it for a few years, think i changed the oil once the whole time i owned it , and just added more as it needed it.

 

A couple years ago i came out of the house to check fluids in my truck and went to open the hood which i did. Now mind you we had been drinking half the night and i was nursing a headache. I went pulled the latch lifted the hood and a woodchuck jumps off the air intake and on my chest.. Oh man i spotted and then blew lunch and all the time my wife was watching from the porch... Man she had a good laugh, it took me a year to be able to open the hood without first peaking inside for critters.

 

A couple of years ago my company decided to go cheap and started getting our uniforms from a differant company and boy were they cheap. I was on a refridgerator call and had to kneel down onto the floor to remove the drain pan from under the fridge. With the Female resident standing square in front of me I knell down onto my knees and the entire crotch of my pants just rip out. We looked at each other and she just busts out laughing and went and got me a towel to wrap around my waist while I finished up on her fridge. DDOOHH

 

I had just finished changing the oil in my camaro (just bought it the month before). I started it took it for a drive then parked it and let it cool down to check the level. I popped the hood latch and went inside to have lunch when I get a call from work (working as a 911 dispatcher at the time). They ask me to come in right away had a large aprtment fire going on and some other things and need another dispatcher to handle the calls. I tell them no problem I can be there in tem minutes. I run outside fire up the car and take off (forgot to latch the hood). I am going about 60mph and all of a sudden boom the hood flies up and I cant see a darn thing, and end up getting the car stopped, because of the ditch I run into. Get out of the car and my cell rings, turns out that somone behind me calls the police to report my accident and instead of going in to help my fellow workers I become part of the problem. Thankfully I get a ride in the squad that comes to take the report and when I get to work I get to call in my own tow truck to get my car out of the ditch.

Wolf creek sounds like one of those good buddies you want with you on a camping trip

 

My truck was in the driveway behind my wifes 02 Accord, she wanted to take a quick trip to the store, about 1/2 mile from the house, she wanted me to back my truck (01 F-150 Scab) out of the driveway so she could take her car (she never drives my truck, too big for her), so i say, (out of shear lazyness) "just take my truck"
So, she did, about 10 minutes later here she comes, pulling in the driveway, the whole passenger side of my truck is smashed....
Turns out she hit one of those 4 foot cement filled posts while leaving the parking lot.
Cost of lazyness to repair truck: $7000.00
Increase of insurance : $ 360.00 per year.
D'oh!

 

A few years ago, I was working on a NJ Turnpike rest area as a Resident Engineer. Well nature called and I proceeded to the bathroom. There I was at the urnal when a woman entered the facility. I figured she would catch her mistake and proceed to the proper facility, but nope. She walks right in with high heels and a short dress, sets up to the urnal next to me, hikes the dress, and begins to take the leak. "Oh Crap"

Now I'm figurin to get out of thier might quick as I was getting scared since we were the only two in there, so without saying a word, I finished and practically ran to the lobby. There in the lobby is a whole busload of transvestites, they are going to the Geraldo show in NYC. The odd part of this is you couldn't tell she was a he.

 

Must have been the Howard Stern rest stop
