My guess: 1. Drove forward with the steering wheel hard to the right, passenger side front tire went into the stanchion. 2. Car stopped when the axle or some part of the suspension. hit the stanchion. 3. _Without getting out to look_, straightened the wheel and tried to back out. Now the stanchion is hooked between the fender/bumper and the wheel.
The more difficult question: How to get it out without tearing chunks off the car? It's probably possible to unbolt the wheel rim, but how would you move the car without the wheel? Or reach around behind the wheel with an angle grinder and cut the stanchion?
I had #2 happen with a shave kit a while back - shaving cream cap broke and the button wedged open and 100% dumped the contents. Quite the mess. Not as bad as makeup I suspect.
I drove my lift truck and got the wheel inside of a 55 gallon drum. The edge of the drum get bent and it would not drive out of the damn thing. I had to go and get a set of torches and push them back to the truck, and cut the barrel off of my wheel, in order to get free of the stupid thing. This was way back when I was weighing up heats for melting. So I was running my ass off all day, every day, for at least 10 hours, usually 12-14 hours. I was the only one doing the job, and after I bid on a different job, they ended up putting 2 guys on it on two different shifts, to keep up. I ended up bidding on a job on the melt floor, in order to get away from that lousy job. I would rather pour steel than have the stress of getting enough heats weighed up to melt 24 hours a day 7 days a week, for often 2 months at a stretch. The melt floor job sucks as well, but at least I had time enough to take a random piss break without having to plan for it, at a certain time.
#1 I'd love to know how that happened.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't Monday's fault.

It took some doing, maybe a lot of "want to."
DeleteThe fuck drove directly next to the pump, the fender bent, and there you have it.

#1 should be titled “Fucking Dumbass”
ReplyDelete#4 Ship is probably going to be left to rust right there. They might try to recover some of the cargo.
They already have been. Notice deck hatches opened.
