FeeBees road trip

« on: September 02, 2008, 10:30:13 AM »
Yesterday was a beautiful day so we decided to take FeeBee to Rock Spring to visit a friend. Just cruised thru the Sonice for a drink then on down the road. Me, Rick and BiLo (the dog) in the back with the top down. It was a good ride untl the brakes locked up on the way home :shock:  Evertime you pushed the brakes they would lock up then release. We had a good time driving home without using the brakes :lol: But the funny part was that we didn't care. We had a good laugh all the way home :lol: Now had that been my brand new f150 it would not have been funny. But the fact that we took her out on her first road trip and barely made it back from Rock Spring we found amusing for some reason. But the brand new motor got us home safely. So it's back to the garage for FeeBee :lol:

Pinto !!!!!    Did you like it as well as a automoble ?
      No bad "rep"  just explane your meaning of "lock-up"  and how you "un-locked" them in great detail. Did the wheels skid , jerk the steering out of your hand or make more noise than a French Sporting house on Castile Day ? :lol:
