    Hey guys,
    I was teaching my girlfriend how to back the boat into the lake. Why? Because I like to start a fight over something so frigging simple.
    Anyways GF handled the boat and trailer on the back of my Taco like a champ. First try and no tears!
    The only major head ache was from the back up sensor incessant buzzing during the maneuver. Like the entire time, it starts small as you know then gets louder and louder until I think I'll lose my friggin mind. I finally just got out of the truck and told her she could do it without my micro managing her efforts because the chime was just too much.
    So here is the point... how do I turn that sumbitch off while towing my trailer?

    That's silly for two reasons; first, this is a forum where asking a buddy is easier than searching. Second, he admitted he's a man and normal men are instinctively wired to take shortest route to any objective. :thumbsup:

    Is it Friday? With this freaking quarantine, I have no clue what day of the week it is any more. Ugh!

    It was a good sorry though.

    Was this a cry for help though? Trying to teach your gf how to back up a bit during quarantine, you might be screaming for help.

    Who the fuck buys a truck and doesn’t press every single Fuckin button in sight to see what it does before he even gets out of the dealer parking lot. Fofucksake!

    Maybe he respects his trucks privacy and only touches it when it is comfortable being touched :boink:

    leave your seat belt undone and see how far you can go before you're forced to either bail or put your seat belt on. Just one solid tone. My ex would sometimes not put hers on and I'd just wait for her to start saying "what's wrong with your truck?"
