I have way too many to post here. It would double the number of posts on this thread thus far.

I'm glad to see that folks here can laugh at themselves.

I will only post one. It's not my worst one, but I think the most humerous if you can look at it that way. Damage was absolutely minimal, especially considering what it could have been.

My existing shop building has doors on either end and room for two cars parked in front of two other cars. About 12 or 14 years ago I had my four wheel drive truck apart with both rear axles out and the rear third member out. The rear was on Jack stands and the front of it was at the back door of my shop.

Behind it was my 240D in its much younger days when I pampered it and worried about every little rock chip. It was absolutely pristine in those days.

My nieces were visiting on Labor Day weekend so I wanted to spend some time with them and my own family that afternoon. I was outside at first light to get some things done before they got up. I pulled my tractor to the front of the truck, nose to nose, so I could fill the tractor with diesel fuel from the tank in the bed of the pickup.

Remember it was very early and I don't even think I had coffee yet. The tractor was almost touching the front bumper of the truck and when I started it up to back up, I put it in a forward gear and let out the clutch just enough that it moved forward pushing the truck off the jack stands and into the front of the 240D. As it turned out, the drop hitch on the truck, barely hit the bottom of the license plate on the 240D. It could have been much worse.

Even though the shop is not real close to the house, the noise woke up the house and ladies started pouring out of the house in housecoats to see what had happened. I don't know if it was the noise of the truck hitting the floor or my yelling that woke them.

You just have to laugh at yourself though. It was like a line of dominoes.

Have a great day,
