Do you find yourself making wide turns in your 4 wheeler?

Today I reached for the foot pedal release to adjust the steering wheel in my Suburban.....

 

My wife banned me from driving her car. Been so long since I put gas in the car or my pick-up that when we were out last weekend I splashed gas on the side of her car. Was topping it off and trying to max the tank. I am used to the cap on top of the tanks not the side. What she did not see is that I grabbed the diesel nozzle and it would not fit in the neck. I can put a big truck anywhere, but a car I can't seem to get it to do what I want!

 

Strangest thing..........I can't back my car up worth a cra...
And recently I had a customer say "your the first driver I've seen from your company that knows how to back up!
So what gives with the car????

 

the best one i did was riding passenger i wasn't paying attention just as i looked up i saw the sign that said 10ft. clearance :smt103 on the bridge and just yelled STOP and braced for the impact.I thought we were going to take the top right off.

 

I find myself lifting my foot off the accelerator, wondering "where's the jake?"

 

Aww hell, you both got me laughing!!!

The funny thing is, I was riding in an acquantances Dodge p/u (with the cummmins diesel), and he was having fun with the JAKE he had installed ('cause he pulls a gooseneck in the summer). Now if I had the moolah I would get one of those trucks and have a jake put on just to Piss off the neighbors!

 

I have a c/c 4x4 dually with a 5spd all mini "chickened" out including the inside so I find myself,especially at night doing some goofy crap...Trying to hit the passengers window switch on the dash or to set the brakes,floating the shifts,trying to super10 split the shifts,reaching up to adjust radio volume etc etc.Since I've been off for a bit it's not as bad but I thought it was just me.whew! Thank goodness it's not.

 

After I retired, I got bored and took a part time job driving a straight truck. When backing into a dock, I was always turning the wheel the wrong way and I had a very hard time getting it straight when bumping the dock. I never had that problem with a 53' trailer.

The truck had a 5 speed manual tranny and I would double clutch even though it wasn't necessary. I would also rev up the rpm's when downshifting and that wasn't necessary either.

For several months after I retired, I would jam my left foot into the floorboard reaching for the clutch that wasn't there in my auto tranny pick up.

Old habits are hard to break.
