had to be towed back to the paddock by, of all things, a Chevy truck. The indignity of it all!
Before a flamewar gets started between the Chevy and Ford truck factions (though they're kinda fun), I should add that I've got a 97 Chevy extended cab.
But I've got a Truck, too. <g> F350 Crew Cab.
In all fairness, I don't recall a Chevy ever doing this to me: bytor.hypermart.net
Speaking of real trucks, my instructor at the track had 4 other students and asked if any of us had something that'd carry 6 people for our instructor run-through on the track. I told him about my truck and that it'd carry 6 comfortably, even if they're not close friends, but he might have to back up a couple of times to get around some of the turns. They all laughed, but I was only half-joking. Takes about 40 acres to turn that rig around.
We all ended up crammed into an Explorer.
When my wife and I are planning to go somewhere, we actually discuss the likely parking situation before deciding whether to take my truck or hers. Not only is it simply not possible to fit my truck into a normal parking space, we've found it's impossible to negotiate some parking lots at all. And I'd never dream of trying a parking garage.

My favorite one is "Fiat": "Fix It Again, Tony". I used to be a foreign car mechanic, and can attest to the appropriateness of that one. |
