Your not going to believe this!!

Here we go. I know for many of you that don't know me, you must think I am a pathological liar. I'm sure your saying there is no way this many things can happen to a person in a year, let alone a few weeks. I swear to god, every word is true. I have witnesses. Story of the day. When these incidents happen, I do get a tiny little bit of satisfaction Knowing, I can post it here so my pain can be the amusement of so many!
Last night I picked my truck up from Freightliner, I have had a problem with it stalling while driving. It ran fine until...
This morning I headed to Miami, I just had my motors top ends done so I'm ready for Key West next week. I was taking the boat to the water for a 20 minute run to make sure everything was OK. I hooked up to the boat and drove to the gas station. I went over a set of railroad track and the boat bounced. I slowed down and all of a sudden BOOM!!! The trailer ran into the truck! Some how the trailer jumped off the ball. I know it locked good, Maybe going over the tracks were too much. I am in the middle of the road with tons of Maim traffic. I jacked the trailer up, and got it back on the truck. I did quite a bit of damage to the truck.
I gt gas and went to the ramp. I backed in and went to start the boat. Both batteries stone dead. I forgot my jump box so I bought cables, and took a borrowed a battery from a friends truck to jump the boat. I got the motors started and backed the boat off. Went to move the truck and it had stalled. I cranked it until the battery was dead. My truck stalling problem is back only now it wont restart. After tying to start it for an hour. I then decided to at least test the boat. I got back in the boat, you know both batteries were still dead so I had to re-jump both motors but the boat ran great! Thank goodness. I called a tow truck for my truck and my girl friend for a ride. I got there at 1:30 and just got home now at 9:45. I just don't feel that 10 minute boat ride was worth it!! Here are a few photos of the incident. :rolleyes:
P.S.
No word from the driver with my car! :mad:

Speechlesssssssss. I don't believe your a liar even though we have never met. There is absolutely no way you can come up with so much of this original sh*t. Have fun in KW :D Hope you receive the Lambo soon.

Gino-

I have an idea. After our Gun sells you sell us the MTI for a very reasonable price and if you want a ride we will take you anytime. You'll have a lot less on your plate. The only reason I believe all your stories is becuase I know you :D :drink: :D

When I sat in the truck and it wouldn't start I started laughing. I was thinkng to myself, there is no way anyone is going to believe this. I can't believe it myself.
It's funny, I swear to this, when I'm doing boat stuff and I call my girlfriend, she answers the phone "what happened now"?

ok I've been reading your horror stories for years and all I can say is... and I mean this with the greatest respect.. you ar a complete Chucky!!!!

WTF Bro'? I think you could actually f' up a wet dream. I would say stick to wave runners but that clearly is no good for you. Have you considered basket weaving, Crockett, golf, etc.???

PS. Baja Bob is planning on hooking up with you in KW. Look out!

Gino I dont know but you totally amuse the sh*t out of me! After all this bad luck you deserve your very own "adventures of lubejobs" forum. I'll be in KW around weds and definetly need to buy you a huge drink. If you want I'll tow your boat to KW to assure it gets there in one piece.

Just don't let him ride with you if you're towing his rig. :eek:

One of these days I will get down to Lauderdale and have to meet Gino. I will just have to make sure it is at a beach bar where there is no roof to fall on me!! :D

Since I was a kid, people teased me about my luck. I have been given Rabbits feet, Horse shoes, 4 leaf clovers, crosses and holy water. Non of it works, The fortunate thing it is always pain in the ass things. It's Not life changeing accident, thannk goodness. It usually happens to the stuff I try hardest to keep nice. I have a few cars and trucks, I could really care less about, nothing ever happens to them. For as many accidents i have, it's equaled out by things I'm greatful for.

If I let him drive my rental & follow me I'll make sure there is extra insurance coverage. LOL. Gino I really need to buy you a drink. I'm sitting here telling the wife & we're laughing our a** off. Not at you but just your rotten luck. The weather forecast is looking good for now & if it happens to rain we'll know who's fault it is.

The wife said try Feng Shui.

Hey Gino, make sure someone didn't change the ball hitch. Is it the right size? It can't come off if it's locked down, unless you have a 2.5" hitch with a 2" ball.

Something to look at, considering your luck.

Gino,
Everytime I log on here, you have something new - and I know you're telling the truth, I saw what happened this year at the Cumberland run.
Tell ya what.
Hire me to take care of all this crap that goes wrong for ya, and in the mean time, I'll keep a log/write a book. We'll split the book profits 50/50.
:D

Re: Your not going to believe this!!
 
Gino,
Maybe to prevent a future problem, that hitch you have looks like a Rapid Hitch which I thought was only rated for 10,000 pounds. May want to verify that.
Maybe you have some bad luck but at least you're consistant :drink:
