Busted at Work

[Raque Thomas]

PS: could I cause any permanent damage leaving it parked this way for an extended period of time?

Only to your head as you fall out of the door once it is openned!! Great shot!

Great parking job! I park like that everyday! Just be sure that if you park your passenger side up on the bank that you have plenty of gas. Unfortunately I had to have a co-worker push me off the berm so it could start (had about 1/8th a tank)

Tell them you were just leaving an extra spot open.

I did have a full take of gas, and didn't have any problems. I've parked like that before but never thought about possible damage. Some guys at work were saying I could break my rear axle because all the weight was on it and it wasn't meant to sit like that...

Ok, if you say so... was my only reply, it just wasn't worth getting into it with them.

Like it gets heavier as it's sitting there? Kinda stupid. If the VX was gonna break it would already have done so - sitting for some length of time doesn't change the state or forces of gravity bearing down on the truck. Now if the moon left its orbit and created some type of gravitational change, it could potentially cause an issue - of if when pulling it up there the truck was on the verge of breaking, the wind could push it over the edge - but that doesn't seem very likely to me.

Make sure you tell those guys from me that they're idiots.

Just make sure your using your parking brake and you should be fine

be careful if the temperature changes. Half that snowpack could disintegrate, causing the whole thing to roll over. GREAT shot though, really shows the departure angle

That's what I always worry about... either that or coming out and finding my VX so sunk in that it won't come out till spring.

That's great! Too funny

Thats a great pick ISCE. Is it just the picture, or is your bumper nearly rubbing the pavement! If so, damn thats very verticlE!!!

[ISCE]

I wish I would have gotten a side shot, the rear is a couple of inches from the ground The hill was literally the perfect angle.

It was kinda funny, I got up there before I realized I couldn't open the back to get my laptop, so I had go back down to get my bag out first.

I showed this to the owner of my company and we both laughed our butts off. How hilarious is that? :-):-):-)

I loved the line "it was bound to happen"

Thanks for making my day.
