Well.... I have this S-10 durango that needed moved from the base to my house and it was completly dead so I asked a buddy if he would help me and he had already rented a tow dolly for me to pull his car with, so he agreed and it got worse from there.

Well we had to tow the truck from the back cause there wasnt any room infront of the truck to hook up the dolly...so we spend 20minutes getting this damn thing up on the dolly and we go to leave, we make a hard right and well the front end tried to swing out like a skier behind a boat, thank God there was a curb there and it didnt go out into traffic, so I kick out the buddy to straighten up the wheels and sit in the truck to hold the wheel so i didnt happen again, the whole time im thinking screw it lets just pull over in a parking lot and turn the truck around the right way, but I was almost home and I thought "It will be ok, Ive done this before" well we get it clear across base out the other side and we stop at a light, it turns green and I take off, well me and the traler went, the truck well... didnt. Im pretty much in the intersection now thinking OH ****! I hop out and the buddy gets out and were shitting our selves thinking what the **** do we do, well we pushed the truck back up on the dolly but it didnt go, stopped about half way up and rolled back down, so on the second try we really gave her hell, and you know the little tire stopper thing thas supposed to stop the car well... it didnt. and now the back tires a on the far side of the tire support and almost hit my truck. So now where really freaking out thinking what the ****?!?! we say to hell with it and decide to just go, buddy hops in the truck through the window cause the door wont open now, and we take off, the rest of the trip was uneventful. Thank God.

To get the truck off the dolly whe had to completle deflate the trailer tires remove the trucks tires, and the brake rotors and dick with it to fineally get it out. Needless to say 3+ hours spent trying to get the damn dolly back,

To top it off I got some picks, enjoy

Famous last words!!! " Its OK I've done this before"

Not laughing at you, but your buddy must be related to my buddy who pulls that kind of **** at least once a year with me. You'd think we'd learn!!!

I laughed for 2hours straight after this was fixed. and uh, those were my last words.

Hopefully this thing will have a small block 396-408 in it with a richmond 6 and 3.73 in a 9in.
