I'm down in 'The OC' right now visiting Gary, and performing Feats of Strength.
Our first Feat Of Strength: Car Pushing
This is basically like pushing a BIG prowler around. So the 'course' (a closed off street on gary's block) was ~70 yards. What we didn't know is that there a slight uphill grade to the street (maybe 5 degrees?) So pushing the damn car uphill is brutally hard. I think the furthest either of us got was 35 yards. We had to switch off to get the damn car up the hill. Downhill was obviously ridiculously easy.
Also, some random neighbor dude ran up to the car and started trying to help me push the car. I didn't see him at first cuz I was looking down for maximum force, then Gary yells, "Hey Phil, you're cheating!". We stopped and explained that we were just pushing the car for fun and conditioning. And by conditioning, I mean lung-bursting red hell. The dude laughed and suggested that we also walk in the surf while holding rocks. Good dude.
BTW, my car is a small 2005 Ford Focus hatchback. So I can't imagine what kind of fun pushing a truck is.
