My brother's story....
I'm a little late to this thread, but I have my own story. A bit long, but it needs to be written.
Whan I was just a wee pup, my brother used to take my father's car out and I was instructed to keep my mouth SHUT. I was probably 10. He took the family Buick out to 'race' one night and had to tow it home. I knew there was trouble because he was pretty pale when he came in at mid-night. Apparently he was out racing our wonderful '69 Buick Electra convertable (with leather and all the bells and whistles) and forgot to upshift the auto from low 1. At about 80 the huge 404 engine blew up and died. Then to add insult to injury he towed the car home and parked in the garage as if nothing happened. Oil puddle on the floor and everthing. My poor mom got in the car in the morning and....clank clank grind! He even broke a broom stick trying to un-bend the dent that was in the frame from towing it home. "Jee Dad sorry about the little dent in the frame and the broken broom." What was HE THINKING? NEVER MIND that my favorite car that we all grew up in was totalled. The engine replacement was deemed not worth it (at the time). The car was sold, my brother was removed from the house and a new 1979 Buick Electra Limited (anniverary with silver over black with the red pin stripe) was purchased. That car still lives in my Dad's garage in MINT condition. They only drive it in the summer (winters in FLA). I miss that old Gold Electra convertable though, and the wool blanket me and my three brothers used to curl up with in the back seat on those cold nights driving back from grandma's cottage....
