I was working on my VW Bug when we finally got the engine back in. Did some last minute adjustments and tried to start the car.... nothing. Dead battery, well luckly there was about a 4 mile long hill and I decided to try to bump start it. Started rolling down the hill and it still would not start. I got all the way to the bottom and turned around with no running engine so my Dad got out a rope and started towing me up the hill to the house. It was dark and I heard a strange noise and saw sparks from the rear wheel, tried to flash the lights and honk the horn but my battery was dead. After about a 1/4 mile my Dad realised what was up and stoped towing me. I got out and looked at the missing rear wheel and worn brake drum when the wheel rolled up right beside me and stopped. I even found 3 lug bolts.. luckly no real damage except to my ego.
