Man Screws Up Super Duty Trying to Fight the Repo Man

By -

Things go from bad to worse as the driver of this Super Duty attempts to take it from the repo man who’s trying to tow it away.

If you’re reading this right now, there’s a good chance you own a Ford truck. Whether you have a Ranger, F-150, or Super Duty (or one of each), we’re sure you love it and want to keep it as long as possible. You’ve probably put tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of miles on it going on dates with your significant other or taking your family on road trips or using it to work and build a business. A vehicle that you develop that kind of bond with is hard to let go. We don’t know what kind of history the driver of the white Super Duty in this YouTube video from Randomness has with it, but we know one thing for sure: They have no intention of letting anyone else have it, especially the repo man.

For some undisclosed reason (we’re guessing lack of payment), the older truck needs to be hauled away. Whatever the reason happens to be, the driver of the white truck wants to hold onto it. Desperately. They’re still behind the wheel of it even though the rear end of it is hoisted up in the air by the wrecker’s wheel-lift. The man recording the footage calls it when he says, “He ain’t going nowhere.”

Clearly, the driver doesn’t hear him or have any awareness of how impossible a situation they’re in. The doomed driver has the Super Duty’s transmission in reverse and starts hitting the gas. At first, the F-Series rocks back onto the wheel-lift. Soon that rocking turns into damage. The front tires gain traction and push the white truck’s rear end even further into the sky, causing the rear axle to come down on the wheel-lift with a sickening crunch and debris to fly out onto the street. The driver continues pumping diesel grunt through the rear end, which is starting to sound like a giant impact wrench. As the damage escalates, a bystander (more than likely the wrecker driver) on the phone with the police can clearly be heard saying the words “aggravated assault.”

The man in the tortured Ford changes tactics and shifts into drive. He pulls the wheel-lift out to its limit. The shift in weight causes the back end of the white truck to hit the street and the front end of the repo truck (a current Super Duty) to raise up off of the ground.

The camera man utters the two most fitting words to describe what he just saw: “Oh shit!”

You might think at this point that the impact would cause the aggressive driver to stop and think about what they’re doing and realize there’s no way they’re going to leave with their truck. If you do, you’re wrong. They keep going. They mash the throttle and smoke the front tires in a last-ditch effort to free their truck. They only succeed in turning the wheel-lift into a massive club that bashes into the white Super Duty’s rear driver-side fender.

We wish we could write the auction description for this truck. It would read something like this: “Ford Super Duty. Power Stroke diesel V8. Cosmetic and mechanical damage. One hell of a story.”

Derek Shiekhi's father raised him on cars. As a boy, Derek accompanied his dad as he bought classics such as post-WWII GM trucks and early Ford Mustang convertibles.

After loving cars for years and getting a bachelor's degree in Business Management, Derek decided to get an associate degree in journalism. His networking put him in contact with the editor of the Austin-American Statesman newspaper, who hired him to write freelance about automotive culture and events in Austin, Texas in 2013. One particular story led to him getting a certificate for learning the foundations of road racing.

While watching TV with his parents one fateful evening, he saw a commercial that changed his life. In it, Jeep touted the Wrangler as the Texas Auto Writers Association's "SUV of Texas." Derek knew he had to join the organization if he was going to advance as an automotive writer. He joined the Texas Auto Writers Association (TAWA) in 2014 and was fortunate to meet several nice people who connected him to the representatives of several automakers and the people who could give him access to press vehicles (the first one he ever got the keys to was a Lexus LX 570). He's now a regular at TAWA's two main events: the Texas Auto Roundup in the spring and the Texas Truck Rodeo in the fall.

Over the past several years, Derek has learned how to drive off-road in various four-wheel-drive SUVs (he even camped out for two nights in a Land Rover), and driven around various tracks in hot hatches, muscle cars, and exotics. Several of his pieces, including his article about the 2015 Ford F-150 being crowned TAWA's 2014 "Truck of Texas" and his review of the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider, have won awards in TAWA's annual Excellence in Craft Competition. Last year, his JK Forum profile of Wagonmaster, a business that restores Jeep Wagoneers, won prizes in TAWA’s signature writing contest and its pickup- and SUV-focused Texas Truck Invitational.

In addition to writing for a variety of Internet Brands sites, including JK Forum and Ford Truck Enthusiasts, Derek also contributes to other outlets. He started There Will Be Cars on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube to get even more automotive content out to fellow enthusiasts.
