So tomorrow one of my grand daughters is going with me to a car show about 45 miles away. I needed to top off the tank in CHUG just to make sure (I got my jeep can but still) being we are leaving early on the 4th of July I had more then enough fuel for the trip.

I run down to one of the three local stations and fill it up (the guys there are intimidated by vehicles like CHUG so they let me hold the hose (Oregon is a no self service state). I get it filled up and head back on to the road which requires a bit of a sharp left turn. As there is a little traffic coming I give it a little gas and I notice it both chirps and does a funny wiggle. I figure I rolled up on a piece of gravel as right where I was at comes out of a pot hole gravel lot. I scoot along towards home and at the next sharp left it does the same kind of thing.

WHATS GOING ON???

I look down and see my rear locker arming switch is lit up and sure enough the control switch on my shifter is pulled on!!!!

OH yea I locked the rear axle to help jump over the edge of the carport/garage and a 2x4 that makes the bottom of the door jam.

SO don't drive around town with the Locker locked LOL. Glad I never went over 25mph.

I thought that got changed recently.  Perhaps it was another state?  Maybe I'm thinking of New Jersey...
There's a reason it's called Ol' Unreliable

Sounds like there is a good reason for it? 
If you can't get there in a Jeep you don't need to be there!

During the covid stupidity in some areas of the state the no self serve was suspended.

I vividly remember back around 99 getting screamed at by some old dude in Jersey cause my Mississippi butt had no clue you couldn't pump your own gas.
