That was pretty nerve-racking...I was just waiting to scrape my stacks and then be stuck in there.

Man I've never been there but I feel ya. That would really suck. But honestly, it'd be hilarious to everyone else. I bet it was loud not only with stacks but with 'em right on the roof there. Did you leave smoke lines on the cieling??? I would've lol

This is at school. Dang shrimpy, cavalier-designed parking spaces.
I was barely not sticking out of the spot. It's narrow in front of it so I had to pull way back in...

The other day I told my auto teacher "Y'know you really should get some dually-wheel adaptors for the tire balancer." He said "No. I just need students that don't have Dually's. "

The world is so unfriendly to our trucks lol

I haven't been driving it too long, but so far I've managed to scuff every drive-thru curb in the city.

Proceed to go over and another car comes up I keep going over I get about a 1/3 of the way in the lane and the car passes me and then another I'm pissed go over all the way another car locks up it's brakes to keep from hitting me. I did get revenge on all of the cars though.
After having hauled the lengthy and wide GN horse trailer through LA traffic several times now, I have discovered a couple of things: first, don't turn on that blinker until your nose is already in the other lane, then just keep going! They will get the point. After all, you're bigger than they are!
