About three years ago I had a 1990 F150 with a manual 5 speed in it. My son and I hauled I some scrap iron to the scrap yard. There was a man there with a small car on a car-dolly and he couldn't pull the dolly out from under the car. I told him I would hook a chain to the front of my truck and to the back of the old car and he could then pull out the dolly from under it. Well Ok, I got my scrap unloaded and pulled up behind the old car, I killed the engine in my truck but forgot to turn off the key. The man and I hooked up the chain and as I reached for my door handle to get in the man had already got in his vehicle and proceeded to move forward. Well the chain tightened up and my truck started and rammed into the back of the car and pushed it up over the dolly. He had a bigger problem now. Luckily all the damage my truck received was the license plate fell off. I was kind of ticked off because after we hooked up the chain I told him that I would get in my truck and hold the brakes on while he drove forward. After it was all said and done, I left. Some people just dont' think. And a good deed never goes unpunished... [Reply]   [No Email]
