Get on the interstate today and my goddamned tranny cooler line decides to pop off. Im sure about 20 cars and trucks need a carwash now, including mine lol. So i had to have her towed to Orilley auto parts and buy me 7 quarts of fluid and clamp the line back on.

Thank god a friend of mine owns a towing company.

BTW Ron (1badc10) passed me and kept going lol

 

well that sucks...

...and Ron passed you and left you on the side of the road

 

that bastard hahaha yeah that does suck atleast it wasnt major

 

yea lol

you should have heard me when it started slipping,
i was thinking it was a verter issue, im sure mr. fuddle heard me screaming lmao.

 

I wasn't sure it was him. I'm not in the habit of calling people's cell at around 6am. I did send a TM to his phone though (as if that would be better if he were asleep at home). I figured I'd stop at the next exit to wait for a response (& get a SE McMuffin from McD's). Well, I didn't get a response, so I said "tally-hoe". As soon as I get back on I-10 East, my phone rings... guess who? By that time, he had already called his buddy with the tow truck.

All I saw as I went by was a black RCSB on rims with the hood up. I couldn't see if anyone was standing in front or not (windows are apparently dark enough). I could only glance as I didn't think it'd be safe to turn my whole head around or look in mirrors for an extensive amount of time. I would've doubled-back to bring him a few quarts from a gas station, but like I said, he had already called his buddy in Gonzales. Next time (if any), I'll just call your **** early in the morning, since I know you're up at that time. Matt & I (even Randy) know we're up early, but unless I "know" ya, I won't do that to you.

Glad you got it back on the road tho. At least it wasn't like mine with a busted trans cooler. Ask Nick about that. That was interesting.

 

don't be calling my that early.... you know that I sleep late with my guberment job

yeah... my reaction... "uhhh, Ron, you got tranny fluid leaking. Start the truck so I can see where it's coming from. SHUT THE TRUCK OFF! it's pissing straight out with a stream that'll make you proud"

 

Ron....Thats **** poor!

 

Ahh, well... it's the truth. Had I actually SEEN him, I'd have pulled over. I don't make it a point to pull over to help strangers... though, I did make a gesture to pull over one day, driving on the same stretch of road, when I saw a mother holding a baby, a 2 or 3-sh year old in the other arm, and an older child (probably 6 yrs old) walking away from her van that had a blowout. It was starting to rain, and I applied the brake to pull over, but I saw two cars in front of me already backing up on the shoulder to pick 'em up (or help out).

I had the thought to help b/c I thought of my wife & three kids... guess I'm a sucker for mothers. Oh yeah... it wasn't b/c she was a MILF either.

 

meh. Touche'

 

Dang I bet that that fuddle got a nice speech before you saw what it was. lol
