"Mostly a bunch of old people who are generally stuck up. Had to make an emergency stop in our friends truck so we could take a look at his drive line because the u-joint of the rear axle felt like it was going to come off of the driveline but some elderly lady was in her car and gave us some attitude because we were in the parking lot trying to look at it. We told her that we had to make an emergency stop because of the driveline and we needed to make sure it was going to get us back home safely but she was pretty stuck up and smug about it so we ended up just leaving and going up the road a little bit to fix the issue at hand."
— Jessica Myers
