Re: Trying to Impress Your Girlfriend in a Fast Car Goes Wrong
All that power turned into scrap metal. Many years ago I built-up a 1973 Vega with full frame, diamond floorboards with shark wave between top and bottom, 4-bolt main 350 bored to 383 with a cross-ram topped with Holley 450s, 33" meats on a narrowed Ford 9", etc, etc. Because of associations I was able to go out to the local drag strip just about anytime I felt the urge to. I took my girlfriend at the time out there, taped a $100 bill to the dash and told her that if she could grab the money before we reached the end of the run it was hers. Like an asshole I popped the clutch in second gear at 2/3 throttle when the tower went green. Her arm whipped back behind the seat and she was screaming in pain. Took her to the hospital to get checked-out and thankfully nothing was broken, just a bit of bruising. I felt really friggin' bad about the whole ordeal so I gave her the money to use as she wished, treated her out for an awesome dinner at a high-end restaurant then shopping for whatever she wanted, movie and a moonlight walk on the island marina. All totaled the final bill was just short of $1,700 not including hospital visit. The bill I incurred for being a dick is a hell of a lot lower than what the jackass in the video will have to pay. Hope he learns his lesson. I did. |
