Ok, true story. Happened 2 days ago.
My phone rings.
Driver: Hey, I'm an hour from the yard. My clutch doesn't work.
Me: Where are you stopped? Not at all?
Driver: Still driving. Clutch won't go down at all! I'm NOT STOPPING!
M: You gotta stop... I'll call my friend with the wrecker. He'll meet you.
D: I'm NOT stopping! Call the security gate! Tell'em I'm rolling through security...
M: Wha??!? What about the off ramp? You can't blow that - it's a left turn. Just stop on the off ramp....
D: I'm not stopping.... gonna stop it in the yard.
....I call my friend with the wrecker. He's going to go to the highway and wait.
45 minutes later I'm watching the GPS map for the landing.... #### he made the off ramp and is stopped at the gate. Not bad.
I get a call from my friend with the wrecker.
Friend: "I fixed your truck"
Me: "Huh WTF?"
F: Yeah, it's all set. Driver's pulling into the yard now.
Me: What the hell did you do?
F: Fuse cover under the steering wheel fell off and got wedged under the clutch. I put it back.
Me: *&^*&^#$%&^%*#^@(*&(!)#()*$&^$%(*&#*&*&#^*&^*&^*&!!!!!!!!
Clutch gone and I'm NOT STOPPING!

You can fix a clutch but you can't fix dumb...

LOL! I can't be sure unless it happened to me but I think I could have found the problem. ...

This gives me a great idea for an action/thriller movie. Instead of a truck it's a bus full of people. And rather than no clutch, a bomb is rigged to explode if the speed goes under 50. Oh, wait a minute, never mind
Big Don, tsavory, tallmon and 1 other person Thank this. -

This is why people shouldn't drive with phones, it distracts them from solving problems, other than winning an argument.
