Stupid Human Tricks (Long Story Shortened)

[86swb]

Glad to also hear you came out OK. I got up one morning back in '72 and went outside to where I had a '56 Chevy we were working on. Being young and "stupid", I jumped into the car and decided to leave some black marks on our driveway. A friend and I had installed a hot little 327 under the hood so could not wait to spen the tires. I did alright. Put the muncie four speed into revirse, popped the clutch and man did I smoke the tires. Then I hit the brake and nothing. I had no brakes. Like a fool, I open the door and tried to stop the car by draging my foot on the ground. (can you believe that?) I had my '66 Chevelle in the drive way behind me a ways and that and the window air conditiner is what stopped me. I took the window air off the house and tore up the front bumper, grill on the '66. I had forgot we took off the power brake booster the day before. Needless to say, my wife was not too happy about that. I think I woke up with some dead brain cells that morning. Well that was one of my many stupie attacks. I had the rear bumper off of the '56 at the time so you I do not have to tell you how the back of the car looked. but man did it ever leave those "stupid" black marks. (wife was not happy about that eather) But we now have been married for a little over 41 years. I made the mistake of telling my friends about trying to stop by dragging my foot and for the longest time they called me ?HOT FOOT"
