[MBZ] holy crap, almost a major disaster

[Kaleb C. Striplin]

So I loaded up a car this afternoon to take over to have my employees 
strip and prep it for crushing.  They are doing MASSIVE highway 
construction(widening) right where I keep my cars.  Anyways, as I was 
pulling out I must have it a big hole or something.  Anyways, went a 
little ways and pulled over to check to make sure everthing was ok. 
Everything appeared OK.  So little while later I go over some rail road 
tracks.  And as I am stopping at a stop sign just past the tracks I 
noticed Im about to be rear ended by the car I am towing(on my car 
dolly).  Crap, my 1st thought was it came loose and rolled off the end 
of the dolly.  I ease over into a parking lot.  The dolly came OFF the 
hitch.  My receiver where the ball mounts was physically bent down 
slightly.  I guess when I hit the bump it must have been harder than I 
Thought and bent the hitch down and going over the tracks was enought to 
knock it off the rest of the way.  So I put the dolly back on the hitch 
and the locking tab didnt want to click down.  Had to beat it with a 
hammer a couple of times but it then locked down.  Continued on without 
problem.  That could have been a MASSIVE problem if I had been going 
down the highway.  Thank god for safety chains.
