Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Re: I almost strangled my son...





i remember the days of showing off for my friends one in particular was when i borrowed my sisters 1979 dodge omni she was sleeping cause she had to go to work in a few hours so i borrowed the car like i usually did but this time i had friends in the car and we were sitting at a light and i decided to to pull a holeshot as soon as the light turned green i dumped the clutch and went through first ,then through second,and just hit third and there was a shudder and a big bang and a dent in the hood and as i was contiplating my death from my sister i walked home woke her up and had to tell her the bad news of course i told her the truth i  just took off from the light like normal and it stopped running  she had it towed to the local transmission place and he told her that he had never in his 40 yaers of service ever seen a transmissiopn handgrenaded like that before he told her i must have been doing more than driving it normally of which i totally denied since i was only 19 years old and had my whole life ahead of me any whays 2700.later i was still alive and she still loves me i think she knows the truth but she has never questioned me some dayi will make it up to her as i tell this story i feel really guilty again just trying to lighten the mood ...henry in ct.

I've posted some photos of the damage in lumina333 folder. The grill is missing the bottom chrome piece and is split in a few places. If I do get the Hornet, guess who ain't getting to drive it?!!! ~Lu~
