Car Stuck in Barn

Um.... what does this post have to do with books?  Absolutely nothing!  It's just funny and I thought we could all use a good laugh.

Here's the story...Several days ago, my husband needed to add some clutch fluid to his baby "Bumblebee," a little, bright yellow Honda convertible.  It was pouring out and he didn't want any water to get under the hood so he came up with the bright idea of driving the car into my horse barn.  Big mistake!

Bumblebee went into the barn fine.  Fluid got added and it was time to leave.  That's when the problems started.  It seems that Bumblebee is very low to the ground, and the cement tiles at the entrance to my barn are coming loose.  When the car's tires hit those tiles, up flooped the tiles and they wedged themselves very nicely between the tires and base of the car.  Bumblebee was stuck.  No, Bumblebee was very, very stuck!

Here's another view of Bumblebee, the car that got stuck in a barn (note the missing tile near the tire - it's there, just wedged into the bottom of the car):

So, how do you get a car out of a barn?  First, apparently, you try to lift it out with the farm tractor, using its forklift to brilliantly lift the car.  Well, that didn't work.  At least, tho, it didn't damage the car.  Next, you let the car sit there for a few days so the horses can make a new friend. 

Finally, it's Jimmy to the rescue.  Jimmy is a neighbor with a "floor lift."  First, place that lift in the right spot and then lift that sucker!:


Bumblebee was raised up and released from his tile prison. 



Oh, and my barn?  Let's just say we're replacing the entrance tiles with cement and new rule - no cars allowed!  Here's what my barn entrance looked like after Bumblebee's removal:

  40. When it comes to alternative car and body shop repairs, insurance companies tend to have a pretty bad reputation. Painted as the "bad guys" looking out only for the bottom line, most people expect insurance companies to frown upon paintless dent repair, as it offers car owners a way to sidestep traditional auto body repair methods to go straight for the most time-saving solution. However, contrary to these beliefs, paintless dent removal is actually one of the favorite repair methods of insurance companies and car manufacturers alike. https://genkinka-kuchikomi.info/the-most-useful-radar-detector-for-your-vehicle/

  67. "I'm downsizing my car" is a phrase that car dealers hear a lot from buyers. People often get to a stage where they are considering a smaller car than they currently have, for a variety of reasons. Often it's empty-nesters who no longer need to take the kids to school, footy practice, swimming lessons, camping holidays and so on. Other times it's for reasons of economy - "my current car costs me too much to run" is a phrase commonly used in conjunction with downsizing.

  69. People tend to treasure their cars almost as much as their home. Owning a vehicle can be a job in itself. You are forced to worry about having to maintain the vehicle, by having basic under the hood repairs done, and you are also forced to worry about the aesthetic appeal of the vehicle as well. When it comes to working on the outer surface of your vehicle, there are two different options that a driver has. You can choose to have a paintless dent removal service performed on your vehicle to fix its outer layer imperfections, or you have the option of having traditional body shop work done. https://imageclippingpathindia.com/automotive-photo-editing-service/

  72. There are pros and cons to both types of Auto Body Repair but Paintless Dent Removal definitely has the advantage in price. That is mainly because there is no additional time and money invested in repainting the car like there is with traditional Collision Repair.

  74. Paintless dent repair is a very viable alternative to the body shop. Technicians specializing in dent removal have a multitude of tools at their disposal. They remove small trim pieces or inner panels from your vehicle to access the dent from behind. These tools are specially formed so the technician can work from the edges of the dent inward, allowing him to caress and manipulate the metal back to its original form. https://redhotdistributors.com/
