I hope that’s anchored down. If not, it will become a projectile in an accident.
Wonder what he does for a living. That is what you call bringing your work home.

Where is the UBS jack? I gotta charge my phone!!
That is handy if you need to dump a body in the river.
It can double as a jack stand.

Did you buy that at Rock Auto by chance????

I bet you are a lot of fun at parties...
Well, truth be told: I put a car on its roof and a truck on its side (icy roads on the latter). It’s amazing how much loose stuff you have in a vehicle and it all becomes airborne when the vehicle is no longer on all four wheels!!!!

AND NOW YET ANOTHER annoying story from the old days..........
Before I joined the Navy, so this was 66-67, I had a more-door 57 Bel Air Chev. It was "put together" and did not have the proper generator..........explain.............Power steering on those old girls, was the "cylinder on the drag link," and the pump was driven OFF THE REAR of the generator. But I did not HAVE the correct generator, so I just left the PS unhooked. At some point I got some money, got the correct generator, and hooked up the PS
BUT THIS GENERATED it's own problem. With no PS, steering effort was impressive, and the "return to center" was "mighty effective." AFTER connecting the PS, the "return to center" was "not so much".
There was a popular drive in in town, "Don's drive in." Friend of mine and I stopped in got coke and a shake, and left. I turned out of the lot onto the street, steering with "I guess" my right hand, holding the shake in my left. "Almost too late" I realized the thing was not returning, and I reached "cross arm" frantically with my other hand, dumping the shake neatly upside down on the transmission hump and shifter!!!

It certainly matches the decor...

A biology teacher I knew in high school (and had absolutely no respect for) was also a driver training instructor. He had a girl driving who made a right turn...without letting the car return to straight...HIT a parked car. Then she backed up and hit it again. After the third time she hit the parked car the instructor finally got control from his side of the car...
I guess 3 was the magic number.

In my defense, I was left unsupervised.
I was in a '67 Camaro that rolled one night many years ago. I wasn't driving.
The car hit the ditch and the dome light came on.... Now I could see, in slow motion, my girlfriend rolling around inside the car and it hit me funny that the contents of her purse were rolling around with her. We were OK, car was toast.
I had it towed up to my shop, and when we finally scrapped it, the tow truck driver told me that you don't want to have a bowling ball in the car with you when you flip it.... That was his personal experience.
A buddy of mine rolled his Blazer on his side out mudding one night and his sister caught a horseshoe up side the head and got a nice concussion! We were all camping out in the woods and he forgot to pull them out before we went out to have fun!
Was that milkshake chocolate or strawberry ?
Remember when folks put many items on the rear shelf under the back windshield, result, shotgun spray pattern to the back of the head.
I had an E-brake in high skool that looked exactly like that.! I believe it's at the bottom of Chatfield reservoir now. Much to my dismay it didn't work as well when left in the truck.... I was surprised to say the least, I did leave a bad review tho...
