Really Built Ford Tough!

Went camping this weekend at Knoxvlle IA for the sprint car races. We were sitting around solving the world's problems when we saw a Ford SD with a 5 wheel camper pulling through the campsites. He was going at least 20 (very muddy grass campsites) and ran over a huge fire ring. Now I don't mean he bumped it , he ran OVER it. By the time he stopped it was under the cab. Then the drunk girl friend got out to help him. With her help and three back up/ forward moves they managed to get it pulled completely out of the ground and rolled all the way to the back of the truck.The final lunge forward got the fire ring wedged under the back bumper, piercing he driver's rear tire and they dragged it another 20 feet . There is a point where you have to stop the madness, so we go over and raise the fifth wheel and truck, remove the fire ring. We leave the couple to do whatever ............ I looked under the truck, no oil or fuel leaking just a flat tire and a torn mudflap. If I'd done that there would be hole in the oil pan, hole in the transmission pan, a big ole bow in the drive shaft and gas pouring out on the ground. You'd should have been there. Go figure!!! Anyway built Ford Tough

They probably can't use this in their advertising, but I can just hear Mike Rowe.

FORD SUPER DUTY! The truck you want of you're going to drive drunk and stupid.
