I remember my father wanting to drive it, I was half way through the sentence telling him not to floor it in first or 2nd gears and to be on your toes in 3rd.

He floored it in second gear while I was telling him not to...

We ended up ballast in the car as it came screeching to a stop, pointed the wrong way, on the side of the 3 lane road we were on. I has happy it was a 3 lane road no damage done.

Once we came to a stop, I just said, yeah I think you know not to step in it too hard in 1st and second. Take it easy.

No TC no ABS no air bags, in that car you die like a man.
