car abuse

[Neil C]

Marcus' wonderful pix in the "your first car" post reminded me of some of the silly things done to cars when young and foolish, including:
-A friend had removed the body off an old Fiat sedan and discovered he could reattach it backwards. He did so only so he could take it out on the freeway to watch the expression of people as he passed them "in reverse". Cops put an end to that.
-Another friend took a pick-axe to a wreck of a '57 Ford. You should have heard that car whistle like a banshee as it rolled down the road.
-We tried to blow up the slant 6 engine of a mid '60 Plymouth Valiant. Top rev's for what seemed like hours before that little sucker gave it up.

Have you ever taken liberties with our two or four wheeled friends?
