Funny story here, I figured you guys would get a luagh out of this one...

Back when I had a Ford PSD I got it stuck in the garage...yes, I said garage. The garage I had you could drive all the way thru it EXCEPT that on the back side of the garage (where the front of the truck would go) was not paved, it was about a 6" drop. I came home one night and was not paying attention and accidentally dropped the front end of the truck off that drop off, the truck was a 2 wheel drive, the garage floor was very slick concrete...I could not get the front end of the truck up into the garage, the rear wheels would only spin and then the rear of the truck started going sideways.

I ended up calling a buddy that had a Hemi Dodge, I said "Hey man, I am stuck, can you come over and give me a pull?" he asked where I was and when I told him my garage he nearly died laughing, anyways, he came over and got me unstuck from my garage.
did ya think about runin straight out of the garage?

application of the parking brake just a couple clicks keeps the rear tires from spinnin in slick situations...snow too!

WOW! id be too embarassed to call for assist!!!

I think I would have used a jack to raise the front end up and stuff a couple of boardsunder the front tires. I know none of my friends would let that go. I'd be hearing about it for years.

LOL...Yeah, I know...it was STUPID!

Could not drive all the way thru the garage there was a fence there that would not allow me to go but about 10' further.

I thought about the boards but by the time I thought about it the rear end of the truck had got cross ways and was nearly against the wall, the Dodge had to drag me sideways a little and then pull straight out.

It was one of those "Random Acts of Stupidity" that I am prone to on occassion.

The last two pics are the best. Stories like that make me glad that I have a 4x4.
