The other day the local UPS got a new truck. The driver has many
deliveries on dirt roads. In the past he would take a water hose and
wash out the truck at the end of the day.

He filled the new one with gas and washed it out.

I can see washing off the *outside* of the truck. Are you saying he
washed out the inside of a brand new truck? Unless he's delivering
live pigs or something, what kind of moron does that?




He had made some deliveries with that truck on the dirt roads. I think
that was the first day the truck was used and the inside was dirty from
the dust and dirt from his feet. This is the UPS delivery type of truck
and not a regular pickup type.

He is still an idiot for using the hose inside.

Have you ever been in a UPS truck? They look like they were made to be
hosed out.

+1 And I don't know why the elec. boards were under the floor.
Should have been in the dashboard. If under the floor, should have been
protected from water that spashed up from the ground

My friend had a BMW with a major electronic part, big as two thick decks
of cards side by side, in the dash but accessible from a plate in the
upper left corner of the firewall, when seen from the engine
compartment. Not uncommon for water to get in, from the windshield
area, and short out the box, which cost iirc 100 used, 600 new. I
replaced it once, still wouldn't work. She bought a new car.
