He has a lot of company, got to be really embarassing for some of those dill rods I pull out. They have humongo tires, lift kits with 200+ hp engines and they still walk to my house to have a 47 year old tractor with only 40hp pull them out to dry pavement.

F150 out of a man made lake that we TOLD HIM NOT TO GO INTO

i had my beefed up 2000 dodge ram, by the time i finished yanking him out i had almost rolled my truck, and tore out a few of his cab mounts, and box mounts. he blew out his radiator.

he thinks twice now when we tell him "DONT"
