You’re right, 72 is not that old. (I’m 72 lol).

Scary - I’m guessing she did get dragged as the car was rolling when she fell, and she was still stuck underneath when help arrived.

I have figured out not to catch a knife that falls out of my hands, but I’m guessing I would have tried to catch up to my truck and try to jump in to step on the brakes as well.

My C4 Corvette often wouldn’t start, so one day I just grabbed to A-frame by the driver’s seat and started pulling it down the street.

Worked pretty well until I got to the street incline and suddenly the car was heavy LOL.

Heavy Chevy? Yeah, actually.

Almost got a very bad surprise though when I was moving the boat around in the driveway by hand. About 17’ with 140hp outboard.

It was a piece of cake - and then it caught some decline. It took all my strength to hold it. Yelled at my Dad and we wrestled it back no problem.

I was used to moving it around the garage. Never tried that again in the driveway.

Oops (duh)
