Re: they are every where

This brings back memories of I guy that wanted to Drag race me.

I was like

He had a Nova with a Bad door latch / No Power.

If He could have put the Power in a Forward Motion
The door latches would have taken care of there self.

Re: they are every where

Too much HP for the experience of the driver. Many years ago, I bought a '65 GTO post car that the only "straight" panel was the roof. It was probably tweaked, too, but I built the engine and sold it. 389 with Carter AFB 4-speed with a 4.33 posi axle. Absolute dynamite off the line, if one can control it.

Re: they are every where

I don't think you can change a video display.
That is a bad deal. I hope the car didn't damage anyone else's property.
It appears the dude only maybe got some scrapes. It could have ended real bad.
I can see it now. Just popped on a big holley carb and put in a salty bump stick. Never mind the hood. Let's go to town and show it off to every body.

Re: they are every where

Door latch was worn out I’ve had that happen on some cars all you needed to do was push on the door and it would open .
Guy should have had a seat belt on

Re: they are every where

I can just hold the door shut with my hand, and seatbelts are for sissies. :-) Here's the bigger video and aftermath.

From the linked article " he probably should have been wearing a seatbelt." Ya think?? Hopefully he learned something from his experience.

Personally, I won't move a vehicle unless all occupants are belted. Doesn't matter to me that it's the law, and possibly an insurance requirement -- it's only common sense.

Re: they are every where

I remember growing up a young kid in Dad's old 71 C/10 the door latch was worn down and the door would open if you wiggled it. That and being able to see the road through the floor amazes me how long we drove the truck like that.

Re: they are every where

When I worked as a mechanic, the boss' son improperly installed a new distributor in his Camaro and seized the engine. I built another engine for him, but he sold the car soon after. It was a real going machine. The buyer was a guy who gave it to his high-school age son. Within a few weeks, it looked like that car in the "Say Something Nice" thread, but blue.

I've not seen this one yet...poor bugger.

BTW...for future reference: you can zoom Windows with the keyboard essentially doing the same type of zoom or expansion one does with a touch screen when they use finger gestures to "zoom" the screen in or out.

Simply place your mouse pointer in the middle of the thing you want to be closer or bigger. Then hold down the windows button and hit the plus "+" or minus "-" key to zoom in or out. Hit plus 3 time in a row to bring it really close!

When you want to undo that you have to hold the windows button and hit the minus "-" key the same number of times.

Hth,

-Kevin

Re: they are every where

I think the dude was just an Idiot

I remember My first shop I rented when I was 20-21. Some rich Villapark Highschool kids wented a shop a few down from mine. One dude had a 392 Hemi in a military ambulance truck and they had a beat up POS hot rod Studebaker. One dude was all bandaged up head to toe and limping real bad when they showed up at their shop one day. Found out the dude fell out of the door of the Studebaker on the overpass from the 55 freeway to 91 freeway north/west toward Fullerton going at least 60 mph ... what an Idiot
