How not to make things

[Crusty]

My dad went to a tractor pull and he described one young "kid" who came out in a fancy truck with lots of chrome underneath, fancy paint and expensive doodads on it to make his pull, but he first made three laps around the arena with the tires spinning and making a huge dirt cloud inside the building, where everyone else before had just pulled out, hooked up and then made their pull. The guy hooked up, revved it up, dumped the clutch and promptly blew a U joint leaving him dead in the water right there. They sent out an old POS John Deere, beat-up and covered with soot, oil, grease and mud to tow him out of the arena. The guy driving the Johnny towed him slowly around the arena three times for everyone to get a good look, with him sitting on the hood looking really dejected.
