Heck -- I'd take that outcome in a heartbeat, although it would be kind of nice know in advance so I made sure to save a few extra bucks for that long of a retirement! Seriously, though -- late 90's, relatively independent, still driving -- you can't ask for much more than that.....

Just got the truck inspected for the first time since i had it.
Pulled up, told the kid what i needed done then walked in and grabbed a drink. A couple minutes later i hear tire's screaming and guys yelling and the truck go in the entrance and out the exit bay door.
Apparently the kid hit the throttle to hard and launched the truck through the shop, have no clue why it took him that long to hit the brakes.
Thank God for the double doors and no one was standing in front of him or it would have been bad.

Coy, I have to say, you have some very creative ways to brag on the EB!

I'm laughing cause only like this would happen to your truck but I'm also thankful no one got hurt

I wasn't saying it to brag on the truck, thank goodness none of the employees were in front of him or he would have ran them over.
One thing about a tuned Eb is if you touch the throttle it takes off hard, From now on i'm switching it back to stock when it comes to other people driving the truck. Kinda opened my eyes up on that deal and making sure the TC is on.. Of course i had it off and never thought of turning it back on when i got out.
I have the dashcam footage also.. If this slow internet ever uploads the video
