Sheeeeit...
I was 16 0r 17. There was a big party in the Berkeley Hills I NEEDED to get to. No wheels. Mom's visiting her sister. Dad's working midnight to eight as a cop. But... He has a construction business!
I broke into dad's corporation yard and unhitched a ten wheel truck from a trailer that held a D8 Caterpiller. I had wheels!
I drove that truck all over the Berkeley hills. Stayed at the party till 3 AM then took a half dozen drunks home in the bed of the dump truck. It was about 5 AM when I attempted to back the truck up to the trailer hitch. First attempt... CLANG! Hitch connects and locks. Sweet!
