    You will all get a laugh out of this!

    Went to Lowes yesterday and got a shed for my back yard. They used a fork lift to load it in my truck. I strapped it down and was on my way.

    On my way home I witnessed an accident and stopped to assist. After police arrived and I gave my statement I was on my way home again. But this time I had pulled up close to the car that was hit to act as a barrier. So I put her in reverse and looked up at my rear view camera, which I'm still getting use to, and discovered the picture was way off! All I saw was the pavement! I was pissed and pulled into a parking lot to check the damage with immediate intentions to go back and talk to the Lowes manager. It was then I realized my tailgate was down... Idiot:frusty:

    I remember once the same thing happened to me! One time I went to lowes and asked them for toothbrushes and lima beans. They said they didn't have any, and that if I didnt put my pants back on they'd have me escorted from the property. Those bastards kicked me out without even giving me some damn lima beans!

    Thanks for the laugh, 11TRD. I did the same thing while helping a friend move some things into his storage unit. I thought we had hit it or something loading up the truck. :goingcrazy:

    I thought the backup camera was a gimmick when I first got my truck , now I love it , you can back up to within 1/2" of objects confidently and it's a beauty if you are hooking up a trailer because it looks straight down at the hitch
