AKA: "I can't work on that because I have 'If I work on a red truck I'll die syndrome.'"
A rare disease that occurs in mechanics. People who have been contracted with RTS are significantly more susceptible to problems, pain, injuries, and even death from vehicles, ESPECIALLY red trucks. Hence the name Red Truck Syndrome.
May also be a symptom of laziness but has never been proven to correlate. Should be taken seriously when brought up.
When asked to work on a red Truck or any vehicle, you respond with "I can't work on that because I have red truck syndrome."
