So. I just backed moms truck into the ditch.
« on: May 16, 2011, 11:36:06 AM »
Had to run to the s tore to pick up some ingredients for her to make dinner. My car lost a break pad last week, so I can't take that.

So I hop in her truck. Start backing up. The wheel's a little cooked and I feel like I'm aiming for my car. So I try to correct it. I over correct. That's not good. I try to fix my angle again, and once again I over correct. I even thought to myself. "Nope, don't want to go in the ditch. Gotta straighten out." So I fix it, I straighten out. But apparently I straighten out so I'm headed right for the ditch.

Next thing I know, I feel the back of the truck go down. I throw it in drive in hopes I can get out. The tires spin, because it's raining and wet as fuck. My first thought is to turn off the engine in case the exhaust is blocked. I get out, check, it's fine. Have mom come out and get in the truck while I push. Nothing. So mom calls her friend to come pull us out. I get a picture of the truck and this guy stops and asks if anyone was injured and if we needed to be pulled out. Said ok, he get's out, takes a good look. He hops in the truck, backs up, and pulls right out.

I'm a science guy. The one thing I didn't think of? Momentum.

TL;DR - how does reverse

That awkward moment when you can't think of an answer because you're frazzled.


I hate that.

Pretty much, yeah. Also picture forthcoming when I get around to editing out the license plate.

Truck fail + physics fail = you didn't play with Hot Wheels a lot as a kid, did you?

Constantly, actually. But apparently not enough. Going to invent a time machine, go back in time, and play with more hot wheels.

Make sure you teach yourself well while you're playing with yourself.

I know a guy who backed into a ditch and his truck rolled onto its roof, so it could have been a lot worse.

I guess my thought in the end is, science may blind you, but it won't keep your ass out of a ditch.
