back in the day when I activated NOS by manual switch (1 SYSTEM)..had transbrake on left side of steering wheel and NOS button on Right,,,back then I would activate the NOS in high gear ( back before I learned of chassis loading etc... :roll: )...well this day in high gear 100+ mph guess which Button I pushed. ( hint) it wasn't the NOS button !...my excuse...why TIRE SHAKE OF COURSE !...nobody knew I didn't have enough HP to go into Tire shake..BUT THATS MY STORY AND I AM STICKING TO IT ! :oops:

This is too embarrasing but here goes. How about driving 3 hours to an event open the door to the trailer only to realize you don't have a car in there.

Hate to admit that but yes it did happen.

You're not the only one. A guy I know that always travels with his son did the same thing. His son couldn't go that weekend and he thought his son loaded the car and was ready to go. He and a friend got in the totorhome and headed out without ever looking in the trailer.
Like you it was a 3 or 4 hr drive then pulled the door down and ...



Anybody ever not put the hitch all the way down on the ball?
I have a friend that's done this SEVERAL times. It beat the crap out of his really expensive motor home when the safety chains caught it and snatched it back and forth.

Knock on wood that that hasn't happened to me. I've forgotten the pin before and had to stop along the side of the road to put it in if I could find it.

Fortunately I don't embarrass easily, however t-boning a trash drum with my brand new, state of the art SG Corvette did it......

The other car leaves first, I leave and go red. Then I look over in the other lane and see his drive-shaft rolling down the track. :oops:

And of course, the win light is already on for his lane! :(

Well here we go, back in the old days, when you could use bleach to do a burn out, my brother and i were brakeing in a new set of slicks, he poured the bleach, i backed into it, pumped the brakes, opened the door, looked back at the slicks, and giver hell, problem being, open face helmet, buddys standing on the sidelines, and being in reverse, needless to say, it slung that crap all over my face, and every thing else. :oops:
