I'm sitting on the beach one day. A 16 year old kid comes driving up in Mommy's new Jeep. He's got a car load of chicks. Too lazy to take the air out of his tires, so he's running the schit out of it and getting stuck along the way. He parks next to me and smoke starts coming out from under the hood. I start digging for my fire extinguisher. I tell him to pop the hood. He says he doesn't know how. So I tell my son to get it. He reaches in and pops the hood and runs around front to open it. Right then, flames shoot out of the engine compartment. He jumps back and says, "I'm out!". That's when I abandoned ship and moved my truck. An hour later, you wouldn't have known anything happened. Hah! Gotta love Jeep/Dodge! These are two of my 2005 Freightliners (Daimler Chrysler products) in 2013. It happened in the middle of night. They think the boom truck had an electrical problem and got the ball rolling. The boom truck looked just like this one. The flatbed was only one number from it on the VIN.

This has been an excellent thread - the variety and flavor of these photos - which show a lot of history, memories and personalities. I feel fortunate to have lived in the beautiful US Southwest, but was born/raised in the industrial east on the Delaware River. Quite a contrast to the wonderful western US. The OP started with a photo of where he worked as a kid. As a kid, I worked in a Sun Oil refinery and a Scott Paper manufacturing plant, as pictured below. Sunoco Refinery 1950s Scott Paper Factory But got some learning done, married a fabulous girl, raised a bunch of daughters, and eventually got to where we live.

Chris Ledoux was a big influence on me back in my bucking horse days.
