Ok got another, it is along the wheel thing....steering wheel.
I use to have a 70 fiat 850 spider. Well one day I was working on the steering for some reason I don't remember. My Pops had just bought me some new back tires.
I go over to my buddys house who lives way out in the middle of the orange groves. "Lets take a ride so I can show you how much handling has improved with these back tires." Going down the road I start yankin the wheel side to side "See it handles better!" Well I yank it right then left then right........WHAT? The steering wheel comes off and the car is still steering right! It happened so fast I had no time to try and stick it back on. Next thing I knew we were hitting the embankment and flying backwards through the air into an orange tree! Luckily it was a poofy tree and the branches slowed me down.
We were ok, but the car was a little thrashed.
Oh and he told EVERYBODY.
