Professional people remove, rebuild, re-install trans in vehicle. Junior is giddy. Junior picks up vehicle Friday evening. Junior calls repair shop Monday morning. "My car won't move. You messed it up. It quit moving right after I picked it up. Come get it and fix it again."
Car gets towed to shop. Transmission is removed, and disassembled. Professional trans builder threatens to put lead pellets in Juniors butt. Papa says "OK".
Why, you ax?

Junior thinks it impresses his girlfriend/boyfriend to put his new car in reverse, stomp on the gas for 50 feet, and then throw it into drive at 5000rpms. Junior is a friggin IDIOT.
Fiction? No, this is real. I built this trans, and the kid picks the car up, and it comes back on a hook.
This idiot has destoyed parts that I have NEVER seen damaged on a 4L60E('letronic 700) trans. The output shaft is snapped in two, with part of it still crammed in the front planetary gear. The entire rear part of the case is busted out.
This trans survived "Junior" less than 50 miles!!
Dr. Phil can't help this one.

. Daddy should have said to sonny, "you break you pay". I have to show my daughter this since she will be getting her license in the not to distance future. If she breaks the car she pays or walks.Some people have to much money..I was never given my first car..I found a 1961 ford falcon, dented for $300.00, now I know why I never had any dates?

Material fatigue ?
1 weekend can be very long and 50 miles is good for a Range Rover
Perhaps a welded 1:1 will hold for the kid ?
Or , Joel , put a automatic greasepump on his tyres.... ?
Wow! That's a mighty impressive display of destruction I might add.
All kidding aside. This kid seems like he's going to be one of those troublesome customers you want to get rid of quick. Good luck.

the van is now sitting for a month and he's using the shoe leather express!!!!!
I aint fixing it for alongggggggg time !!!!
Hope you found this funny,,, I didnt
I had one kid driving Grand Ma's Sunbird. This kid put terrible ugly pinstripes all over the car, the lifted the rear about 8 inches with air shocks and extenders. Keep in mind it's a front wheel drive. Then slamming it in and out of gear he broke several motor mounts, then the third time in the entire transmission case was split. Why Grand Ma or his parents let him jack up the car and make it ugly was beyond me in the first place.
Another idiot.
