It reminds me of working being the dispatcher, trainer and driver manager so the tow company office phones are forwarded to my cell phone since I was a towing manager in a truck and I ran calls too. Only time I had to go by the office was when someone called wanting to get their car out of impound and I did all my dispatching digital from my tablet in the truck to other drivers.
So then I get a call, yeah one of your drivers just cut me off and was speeding. OK sir, and which truck was he driving? Color and was a flat bed or a wrecker? It was Black Repo looking truck. Ohhhh, are you the guy in the Black BMW??? Yeah that's me. OK you stupid ass, I'm the one that you were trying to race and not let me on the freeway, and as you can tell, my truck has plenty of power so yes, I sped way up and with about 3 car lengths in front of you, using my turn signal I got on the freeway so you can be pist off if you want because your POS BMW got beat by a tow truck while you were being a douche and I'll be sure to wipe my ass with this complaint have a wonderful day. CLICK !!!

I'm not so sure she's being a Karen, I think or at least hope she's using the same sarcastic sense of humor I was using.

Love that story LOL. Being a previous truck dispatcher for 10 years certainly had my share of them calls.
Just got a call last week from a state trooper asking us why one of our temp drivers ignored all weight limit signs and drove over an illegal bridge. I said it's obvious, he is an idiot. How the **** do I know what he is thinking? Pull his ass over and ask him.

Sounds like the Trooper was as stupid as your temp driver.
I loved that fast truck. It has the Scorpion 6.7 diesel in it. It had DEF and EGR deleted, chip tuned, OE governer deleted and it ran real good with lots of Powa !!! That F450 had 19.5's on it. From a dead stop, light turn green and punch it would spin all 4 about 1.5-2x and then launch like a rocket. I loved getting on the freeway in that truck. That's the only tow truck I ever got a ticket in. I was doing 90 in a 60 towing a car and cuz I was towing a car going that fast is why the fugger pulled me over. Man did I ever get a tongue lashing from him.
*******, that car isn't going anywhere no matter how fast I'm going. The other great complaint I'd get. Get a call from a ******* on the turnpike, Yeah, one of your trucks just blew by me on the turnpike like I was sitting still and about side swiped me. Oh really mam'am,??? Yeah I'm doing 70 in the fast lane and he was riding my ass about hit me so as I started to get over he went around me like I was tied to a post, he had to be doing 85 or 90. OK lady, so tell me how fast was he really going? I just said he was probably doing 85 or more cuz I was doing 70 or more. No ma'am he wasn't doing no damn 85 and when you quit lying, I'll take your complaint seriously. Well he was doing way over the speed limit. No he wasn't ma'am, both our rollbacks are governed at 67mph so if he was on you ass in the fast lane doing all 67mph then you didn't need to be in the fast lane and he probably had someone on his ass while he's trying to hold his downhill speed to climb the next hill so get the hell outta the damn fast lane doing less than the speed limit and noone will be riding your ass.

Pulled the valve covers off my "prize" motor, ex manifolds, pulleys, brackets, and took a ******* sledge and knocked that stupid 2 barrel off the top, (was totally siezed up)
The heads are 882 heads, yay!
But valve train components are RUSSTTTYYYYY
Hei dizzy is literally stuck.... i took a big pry bar, and busted the dizzy housing inside the motor removing it..... all that remains is the shaft....
Noice.
Soon as heads and intake are off , im flipping it over and pulling pan to check crank numbers.

I hate to be that guy, but if that thing has 882 heads on it, it's not the engine you think it is. Let's get that suffix code off the engine pad and ID that bitch. I have a feeling your going to find it's just an average run of the mill Tree Fitty.

Need to go back a couple posts, suffix i indentified as a 75 350 lol.
But its been rebuilt at some point (per the tag)
And possesses a 327 intake (or at least the numbers lined up with a 327)
So its a 350 block, 74-80 882's, and unknown crank.... ill determine that tomorrow if i have time.

I did my normal skimming. My notifications took me to the last post. It'll be a standard run of the mill cast crank too. Of course if it's been rebuilt it'll be intersting to find out it it was ground or not. Could be a .010/010 grind. Could even be a .020/030. I hate those damn hodge podge crank grinds. Commonly used in box store crate long block exchange engines. They rebuild them but grind to where ever they clean up at. Some will be .020, .030 or even .040 over on the bore and **** like .030 over on the mains and .010 over on the rods.
