Mechanic Advice

Here’s a funny story. I knew a guy that used to start his full sized dodge pickup this way.

Let me introduce you to Ron. Ron had been a bodybuilder and personal trainer in a past life, but was now painting apartments. He wore a lot of Native American jewelry and stuff, and would tell anyone that would listen that he was Native American. Despite being a dark skinned very Italian man.

One morning after being out all night drinking in strip clubs. He walks out to his truck still hungover and grabs a long miniroller handle, and jumps the starter. His truck roars to life, but Ron had forgotten one minor detail. Last night when he drove home drunk. He parked his truck and left it in first gear.

The truck instantly lurched forward knocking him down. It then rolls him up under the truck so his knees are against his chest and back to the ground, and the truck dies.

This probably would have killed lesser men, but not Ron. He used his immense strength to push this pickup truck backwards while in first gear. Probably actually just sliding it back since it was parked in the grass.

He gets up takes it out of gear and cranks it again. He then drives himself to the hospital to find out he had ruptured 2 disks, broken some ribs, and 1 of the ribs had punctured his lung.

Until recently he was the only person I’d ever known to run over themselves with their own vehicle.

I also have a story about him spending the night with a friend, and jamming his boner into the friends wife’s Vaseline. Then blaming someone else for the hole in tub while eating breakfast with his friends family, but this probably isn’t the place for that story.
