im not the smartest......

today i wowed myself with my own stupidty. i recently installed a phantom grille on my truck and failed to tighten down things the way i should have.......so today after a short trip to the pick n pull, i was braking for a red light and heard a terrilbe crash and the too familiar sound of dragging something under my truck....i knew immediatly what had happened and hoped for the best. but alas the damage was pretty bad..........im not gonna post pics cos its too painful.......the grill can be saved but the shell may be too mangled to use........so yeah.... all i could do was choke back my shame and chuckle at my stupidity...

i cant imagine how entertaining it must have been to watch from across the intersection........

I remember my rollpan fell and I. Had to look for it.kinda funny until I found it flat on the ground its was a metal one that I had bolted on and grind the head bolts for a smooth look

with a title like this i just had to read.

Damn man.. that's horrible.. well. Gives you a new excuse to do something badass with the next shell

Come on post pics

lol i got a story kinda like that but with my rear i was so happy to have my c notch in that i forgot to tighting down u bolts for my rear so pulling out of my driveway i gave it gas and my rear flew right out from underneith me lol broke my u joints and everything it was crazy

Holy crap! We all need to double check hardware!..lol

i cant imagine trying that one that sounds hella dangerous lol

Don't feel bad I can recall several stories like yours.

I was trying to sell my first hot rod. It had the Mr Gasket three red butterfly air cleaner that was made to look like a Hilborn injector.

I also had the hood pined front and back. Anyway, at lunch break I went out to the parking lot to show the guys under the hood.

They all admired it and we went back to work.

As I was leaving at the end of the shift, I pulled out of the parking lot and nailed it.

It was great for a while. Then I noticed the hood floating higher and higher until it just sailed away into the air. It landed flat on the road, not even a ding or scratch. Man, was I relieved.

Put the front hood pins back on, and went to drive home. Again, all was well, then I noticed the rear of the hood start to float higher, and higher until it just sailed away.

This time it did not land face down. It ruined my new paint job, and the hard to find factory hood scoop.
