The worst thing you broke while showing off

Burned a brand new tire on my old Softail till it popped for a beer and a titty shot at Little Sturgis... The bad thing about it was The beer was warm and the tit's were small.. But the burn-out was priceless

 

To me and my best friend Sid who was driving his red '55 Cadillac convertible.
Summer of '63 he and I were leaving the beach after a hot June day of swimming surfing and trying to impress some girls.
Up the long hill we go away from the beach heading for the main road back home.
He cranks the wheel very hard to the left making an almost u-turn out onto the main drag.
Were still on gravel, top down, felling really full of our selves.
He drops the hydro into low, plants his foot out to the firewall and executes a cool Dukes Of Hazard hard left uie.
BANG!!!!!!!!
The right rear wheel,tire and axle launch from the ass end tearing the rear fender skirt off with it and the whole chunks of parts puke their way to the other side of the street.
The chicks on the beach are watching this whole impressive maneuver unwind from their spot on the warm sand.
Were getting hit with words like "ass ho@#!" "Fuc%^&g morons!"
They laughed at us so hard the must have peeded in the sand they were sitting on.

 

Wow I realize I have a lot...

-1970 Chevelle, driveshaft, in front of about 300 people at a cruise nite
-1968 Lemans, engine, racing a guy for about five miles
-1998 Camaro, clutch, powershifting the crap out of it
-1963 Galaxie, 2nd gear, shifted it too hard and chipped the gear powershifting

 

My brother was home on leave in the eighties...brand new car, front wheel drive. We were on one of my favorite twisty roads and he asks me "How fast do you go through this corner?" to which I respond "55 every time". His car under steers, plows down a row of shrubs and stops...wedged between two large pine trees. Apparently a Type-10 Cavalier does not handle the same as a modified 67 GS. I usually went through that corner feathering the gas pedal.

 

But...you said you broke your leg...?

 

hahahah timmy..funny thing is..you fucked up a bunch of words in that statement!!!!!

 

I had pulled from a Barn in WI. a '66 7-Litre "R" Galaxie RED Convert/4 speed with a Cammer (SOHC), ordered new by austronaut Gordon Cooper (have an autographed pix of him taking delivery). Took it right away to a local cruise-in and blew their minds (Franklin, Ohio). Upon leaving on a road above the "Big-Boy" and stopped at the light, I nailed it. I had totally forgot it had 20 year old Bias-Ply tires behind a 650HP motor. I peeled both rear tires right off the rims and threw the 6 foot timing chain off!! Everyone cheered as I sat there and waited for the rollback wrecker. I have lots of witnesses to this story!
Far as I know it was the only Factory SOHC car. Sold it to a guy in Miami, FL in the mid '80s. Yes always regretted it even tho $50K was a lot at the time.

 

I NEVER TOOK A CHICKEN WING OUTTA AINT MABLES HAND AGAIN!!!!

 

God I love the way we can mis-interpret things,"four blokes pissed in a mates hire car"

 

Thats funny. I did the same thing my senior year in high school. I used to take these two girls to school with me in my old `51 F1, and my favorite one always sat next to me, in the middle. The 4 speed stick ended up between her knees, so she would sit kinda crossways with her feet over by the other girls feet. I took off out of a stop light pretty hard. About the time I got into 4th gear, mine blew antifreeze all over both of them, lol. Neither of them would ride to school with me anymore. That still didnt stop me from assin' around though.

 

Not me, not a HAMB friendly car, but funny as hell!!

'65 Chevelle with a built up 327 and a 4-speed.Missed a shift at 7,000 and exploded the clutch.Shrapnel under the hood as the bellhousing blew up.Fragments of the clutch disc inside the car.

 

Full throttle clutch dump, at midnight after thrashing to get it put together for the roadster show and cracking the quarter panel at a bad vertical splice that I did not even know was there... In front of everyone that helped me with the candy job

or

making the spider gears dump out of the axle after backing up, still rolling in neutral, revin' it good before dumping it in 1 st outside the club house with everyone in the parkinglot..

or

you get the picture.

I was a young punk a** with no experience

This and many other "incidents" gave me all the experience I could afford...

I generally prefer cruiserz now as I do not need any more "experience"
