We have all made mistakes that we are not proud of in the past. Sometimes, when this happens, you have no choice but to call a recovery team.
So this morning, we asked some embarrassing stories about your need for a trailer. Here are some of the best responses we got.
"An old friend decided that we were going to drive his 85 F150 to different places. To my surprise, when he arrived at my door, he took a girl with him, and we both went to high school with her.
"My friends have always liked this young girl, and despite his best efforts, fate did not stand by his side that night, because this young woman made my more eclectic personality (and charming hair) glow.
"Undoubtedly, the journey home is even more awkward because the seating arrangement has been switched to the girl sitting on the passenger side, and I myself awkwardly tried to avoid being injured by the shifter hurriedly thrown in the middle of the bench... My friend is obviously not satisfied with me.
"At the end of the night to send the girl home, I was instructed to get off the truck and walk home.
"When I wandered home, I was both proud and confused; a few minutes later my phone rang. My friend just abandoned me in a rage. Not to apologize. But to ask for help. He ran about two In the block, the engine on the truck stalled-it was a product of age and anger, and the plastic timing gear on his 300 inline-6 failed brilliantly.
"When I had to tow his truck flat, his anger had turned into utter tenderness and utter embarrassment."

"But because we were idiots, we immediately concentrated it on a snowbank in some way and it got stuck unexpectedly. So we needed a trailer.

"I work at a dealership and stay after get off work to install a gearbox for my 01 Grand Prix GTP. I installed it, halfway through, and then lost the drive. From the rear view, everything I can see is seen. Traces of transmission fluid.
"I put my head under the car and found that I hadn't fully sat on the driver's axle. When I was dragged back 15 minutes after driving away, everyone in the store was smiling happily."

"Two days before the end of the semester, we encountered a huge ice storm. My car was parked in a parking lot in the distance. I didn't think too much about it. Since the road has been cleared, my car must be No problem. Well, remind me, take my suitcase and leave there for a month, only to find that the ice on the top of the car has melted and my tires are frozen on the sidewalk again.
"On my way out, I passed some college brothers who swayed the car from the parking space, but my parking lot was mostly empty. I used a tire iron to conduct some experimental hacking attacks, and even walked back. After drinking hot water on the empty campus, I was forced to call a trailer. The trailer appeared relatively quickly, but it cost me $200 to pull the car 10 feet."
"My friend and I tried to get the Cannonball Run car to jump over his 96 Concorde and cross some shallow waters in what we thought were flooded alleys. The result was much deeper than we thought, so the engine jam Ram. The vandals couldn't help laughing at us."
"Let my wife use her 1973 Volkswagen to play pimps. They upgraded her 1600 dual port to a 1917cc dual carburetor turbocharged engine. We think it is reliable enough to be used in the area from San Diego to Los Angeles. Performance. 😆 🤣 😂 Broken down many times and dragged home. The power of the old Volkswagen means the sacrifice of reliability."

"Someone bought my boat but didn't have a trailer and lived by the lake. I offered to tow it to them. Near me, the wheel bearings were loose and the wheels fell off the trailer. I jumped off my jeep and rolled on it. Catch it before getting too far.
"So, here, I grind one end of the axle to the asphalt road three blocks away from home, and I called a trailer. They put a slider (with a boat on it) under the bad end of the trailer, and then put it Pull it to the flatbed. It became crooked, so we tied a traction belt to the trainer, and I used my jeep front bumper tow point to pull it aside until it became narrow on the flatbed.
"They dragged it to the ship repairman who refused to repair it because they didn't work on the trailer. The new owner repaired it in the parking lot, and I gave him some money to solve the trouble. I ended up hating the ship. years."
"Let my Hummer be towed away for $200. I thought the front brake was stuck and the truck could not move when I turned the wheels in. When I went home on the trailer, I realized that my phone holster was pressed The 4wd button. I want to disappear from this earth."

"I am very happy to have my parents and brothers attend my university graduation ceremony. They are also there to assist me in moving home, which is arranged the day after graduation.
"By noon, the vehicle had been cleaned up. My father filled his 98 F250 and me, and my 97 Integra. My brother and I chose to ride together, and my parents chose my father’s truck. While traveling along the narrow section of line 101 north of Salinas, my brother and I started talking. We participated in our conversation, which quickly caused me to crash my car into the back of my dad’s truck.
"My father’s truck has an electric lift gate and no bumper. So, when I contacted, I walked under the truck. My speed was only about 20-25 mph, but no bumper actually prevented it. The impact of airbag detonation.
"When my dad got out of the truck, I parked the car aside in time to catch the flame in his eyes, and he was covered with Dr. Pepper.
"A few passers-by reached out to help, one person even said that he saw the whole thing, and my dad replied:'Don't worry, he is my son.'

"I reached a clearing in the tree, and my car stopped suddenly and then sank. I couldn't get out because there was snow on my door handle. I brought a snow shovel, so I climbed out the window and got the shovel. Started to work. After a few minutes, I started to realize what had happened.
"I have been driving on about 3 feet of snow, and the temperature of the snow is enough to support the weight of the car. When I reached the clearing, the snow had warmed/softened until I sank. I turned on my radio and let the American Rally people Knowing where I am trapped.
"The first truck arrived. He walked about a third of the way and then got stuck. The second truck came. We found the first truck and we tried to drive to my car. He was caught halfway through its stuck.
"Next, an F-150 Raptor arrived. At this point, we were all standing near the road I turned. He stopped and said to me:'You fool. What are you doing on the snowmobile route.
"The Raptor tried to find me but was unsuccessful. He got stuck two-thirds of the way in. I ended up hiring a trailer."
