Fail

So this weekend was interesting to say the least. One part in particular and that was helping our buddy take his broken down truck to the mechanics, his clutch went out on his truck so he could drive it only for a short distance. It started off Saturday morning with a phone call. He called us saying he was broken down and that he needed someone to come pick him and his truck up. We have a trailer that we thought would be big enough to fit but were too lazy to measure so just assumed the truck would. We had to pick him up from his house and took him to his truck which broke down on the curviest road and on top of a hill.  We parked my brother’s truck at the bottom with the car ramps lined up on the trailer and told our friend to take it nice and easy when loading the truck onto the trailer. You know go nice and slow. So while I stood on the trailer to guide him he began slowly rolling down the hill. I thought he was going to but his breaks on when he got close to the trailer but he did not and hit the ramps  popped a wheelie and I had to dive off the trailer to be missed from being hit by his truck. He got his truck half way on the trailer when the ramps slipped out from under his tire and I told him to stop but he gave it all that little truck had. I laughed so hard and it was so funny that I did not care that he almost killed me and was probably going to kill himself if he did not let off the gas. He made it the rest of the way onto the trailer, well the front two tires were on the trailer nicely and the back two were hanging over the side. We could not drive down the highway like that so we had to figure out how to get the truck off now. We could not push it and the clutch was completely out so there was no backing the truck off so I got the bright idea that my brother pull his truck foreword while my friend wiggled his steering wheel so the trailer would come out from underneath the truck. My idea worked up until the front tires finally came off the truck and his tow hooks on the front of my friend’s truck caught a piece of metal and ripped it off, but we had gotten the truck off. I would say that is minimal damage because I thought someone was going to get hurt or my friend was going to roll his truck. Instead of using the trailer we hooked my friend’s truck up with tow ropes and made it to town with no problem. We have yet to get the trailer fixed and my dad was pissed when he found out what had happened. I wish I would have had a video camera because if I would have videotaped this whole incident the money from YouTube hits would have been enough to buy a whole new trailer.
