A small lake near my house (Arcadia Lake,Edmond,Okla).I had just loaded my boat on trail and pulled up to stow everything and tie everything down.There are 2 lanes at ramp.I watch a lowrider chev.suburban back his pwc down in water,suburban draggs trailer hitch,but backs on down.Ramp next to him a realy small pickup,maybe s-10 lowrider backs a large,maybe late 70's, open bow boat down,draggs hitch.The guy with pwc is maybe 5-6 and maybe 150 pounds.The guy in small pickup is over 6 feet and over 300 pounds.I hear the spanish music from the boom boxes.I tell my wife this might be interesting,so we watch.The guy with the pwc we notice has a chain attached to his ear going down his side and attched somewhere.He gets the pwc lauched fine and while girl with him parks suburban,dragging hitch,he does acrobatics in the no wake zone.The other fell can't get his boat lauched,he is yelling all kinds of things at boat I can't understand.Anyway he can't lauch because he has a transom saver holding his 30 year old outboard up that won't come loose.So fellow with pwc backs up<br />ties a rope to outboard of old boat and ties off to stern of pwc.He takes off full speed.Rope gets tight about 150 feet out.Pulls outboard motor off of old boat with transom still attached.PWC shoots up in air maybe 10 feet straight up.Little guy with chain falls off,chain hung on handle bars,pulled loose of ear and somewhere else.This really happen.What a show.

Been there, seen some of these amusing characters. I believe that OK has some of the most diverse and amusing characters around.

OOOOH, Phil that sounds like it hurt. You know, I never understood the reason for taking a pickup<br />and lowering it. It rides like a log wagon. Not<br />to mention draging hitches, etc. when doing what a pickup is designed to do. <br /><br />And those Boom Boxes, our #1 complaint. We go on more calls about those *&^* things. My dad and one of his friends were traveling together one time and all of a sudden (Boom Boom) The man dad was traveling with began to look all over his truck for the source of the noise. Dad laughed and told him, "It's those kids behind you with a Boom Box, you know if their engine quits that music will push that little rig about 30 MPH! :D <br /><br />Just one of GodsBeast's

That's hilarious. Guess, they need a new boat, new motor and a couple of brains.

Just one more reason I don't care to have any body jewelry. IF it can hook on something it WILL. I always wondered how those low riders ride. I always figured only having 1 1/2" of rubber between you and the road had to make for a hard ride and hell on the suspension system. Hurts my teeth to even imagine running one down one of our gravel roads.

I should really make my own post. PHIL I owe you bud! I like to make my taco's all from scratch including the tortilla shells. I got home and was cutting up the salsa stuff, onions, chilli peppers tomatoes celantra etc.. just finished and was waiting for the pan to heat up.. read this post and got to laughing so hard I had tears running down my cheeks... yup wiped the tears..about 1/2 second later was reminded I hadn't washed my hands after cutting chilli peppers<br />OUCH! That was a 1/2 hour ago! I can now almost see again. :eek: <br /><br />Link
