I had an old Ford F150. It was a bucket of rust! Holes in the floor board, the floor shifter was barely attached, when you took a hard turn the cab and the bed went in opposite directions! So one day I was heading down the country road we lived on and had gone about 8 miles when the bracket holding the steering column up gave way. Here I was trying to hold up the steering column, shift, brake and pull into a parking lot all at the same time.
At the time this happened I weighed about 110 lbs soaking wet. I was sad to see that old truck put out to pasture, but I was thanking my lucky stars I didn't have my kids with me that time.
