Mom and Dad were out of town at a conference in Boston. Dad had just bought the M491 911 a few weeks prior ... and I hadn't driven it yet.
Well, I'm a good boy, so I drive my station wagon. But the battery died. Crap.
Take battery out, grab keys to 356 (been driving that for years, no problem!). Get it going, get battery to store, the battery is fine, issue must be in starter, etc. So go back home, put battery back in teh wagon. Head out to visit a friend, 356 decides to stop running at a light 10 miles across town. Check fuel petcock - yup, in normal run position. Flip to reserve. Car won't restart. Crap. Can see gas with a flash light, so I know it has fuel, was just running, what the heck.... Call AAA, wait 2 hours for a flat bed, driver wasn't sure about the driveway, so he left the car at the top of the drive. No problem - some college guys in a rental house across the street help me push it back up to the garage....
Well... now I'm down to 1 working car out of 3, parents out of town, it is the weekend, and I'm a senior in high school. Must still go across town to visit buddy.
No - did not go insane in the 911. Yes, friend and I hit the back roads, and yes, 100+mph was reached. No, no damage to property, etc.
End of it all, cars are all back where they belong, tell dad of my battery troubles and that I tried to take the 356 to get the battery checked but it wouldn't start, told 'em I spent the weekend riding the bicycle instead of driving
Fessed up to putting an extra 100 miles or so on the 911 a few weeks before dad died, he didn't believe me....
