Just had to tell you guys this story. I drove my son over to a well known tire chain to pick up his car last night. He had four new tires installed. While we were in the office, there was a horrible noise that came from the service bays. this was followed by some screaming. We run through the small door and saw a jeep CJ had smashed a workbench into the wall. the damage was excessive. It seems that after some previous repairs, the customer came back complaining the front hubs would not lock. So the technician (ahem) jacked the front and placed it in four wheel drive to see if the front wheels would spin when he put it in gear. Dont know if he ever had time to find out.

Dont you love it?

Take your pick or look (in vain) for the "dumbass" icon.
