Not my story but my dads after he sold his '69 Mustang Coupe he bought a '73 Dodge Monaco ###### kicker my dad called it, one morning in the winter he started the car to get it warm went inside to say good bye ot mom and came out to find the Monaco climbing a big old oak tree with Tires spinning, the car when it hit high idle had dropped inot gear and had left the driveway and ended up the tree. He sold it soo after and bought a brandnew '81 Monte Carlo Classic. Anyway, turns out the transmission was shot and he had been driving it like that for months this time the car deceide it didn't need a pilot
Then there was the back seat fire in that car, my dad smoked then in the 80's and he and a friend were driving home from a near by town threw there buts out the window and had them fly in the back window, thank god for snow, they pulled over and dumped snow in there and put it out, by the time my dad sold the car there was a melted back seat, no transmission and brakes that wouldn't stop that almost 4000lb boat.
