lmorris Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 While reading another post about customer's needing to tow their vehicles instead of driving them it reminded of something I saw many years ago. Mustang comes in with a real bad clunk in the rear. After lifting the car we found the rear lower control arm is ripped out of the body and the diff gears are all torn up. Upon asking the customer what happened he says it just happened and wanted warrenty. Unknowingly to him his buddy is in the breezeway chatting up the service writer. He says: " We went to the Pink Floyd concert last night and smoked up, after the show we put the racing slicks on the car and went ripping down Jasper ave." There goes his warrenty. He doesn't want us to fix it at this point, and is going to tow it home. We slid the axles back in the housing and used some tie wire to hold them in so it could be towed away. 3 hours later they show up with a truck and a towrope. Yes, they flat towed it home with the truck, not sure how far they got before the axles came out, but at that point we didn't care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSHTech Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Haha. Some people really make you question the limits of stupidity. After that stunt I'd be willing to say he might have bought himself a pair of axles and bearings. Maybe even a housing if shit really hit the fan.
