Now that's a story! My dad worked at - and later owned - a Ford dealership

in my hometown. They always had some unique and funny stories to tell about customer interactions, problem vehicles, etc. Some are still legendary in my small hometown. Nothing involving firearms...to my knowledge.

One time, a customer's wife complained to Dad about the new truck that her hubby bought, telling Dad that, if she had her license, she'd run that truck up Jim Bailey's (the owner of the garage at that time) ass. Dad, of course, relayed the story to Mr. Bailey. Next day when the owner came to pick up the truck from the shop, Mr. Bailey spoke with him, saying, "Mr. Scott, I hope your wife never learns how to drive."
