Hey guys…. so far , knock on wood, I have been very fortunate in not dropping the 500. I came really close the other day.
I was running a touch late getting to work…cooler morning means that the V500 actually has to warm up a little before take off. Cooler I mean about mid 30’s F. Anyway, I start out haulin butt to get to work and no problems, nothings different until I come up into traffic and I get my usual 20 mins of slow race practice. Which I am becoming quite proficient at, I can actually balance no feet at a stand still for about 5 to 10 seconds…I hate creeping traffic. This particular moment I was looking around making sure an 18 wheeler wasn’t going to make me a replacement for his “Mack” bulldog hood ornament, when I realised I was following a hurse (sp?). I was thinking…”great not a good sign, but I have never been that prepared in my life for anything so the chances of getting planted behind this thing is absolute nil” and thats when my curiosity got to me… I edged closer to see what was in the back window. Nothing special, just a big white box that had a packing slip on it. Now comes the point where I bout dropped the V500….. upon further inspection it did indeed look like a casket and after getting close enough to read a label on the box I see “FOR ONE TIME USE ONLY”…………now I don’t know if you remember fighting with your kids and/or siblings and they commence to tickling you…and how little strength you have from laughing so dang’d hard…..but I bout dropped the V500 that morning from laughing.
I mean really….do you really think there is a need to point that out? Has the economy gotten that bad where it may have been a multi-purpose item. “Dig ’em back up Joe …we got another to plant next week and this one is gonna fit him!” ….ROFL…. I know…. its wrong…. but just too funny to me at the time.
