That is a story you should take to the grave and never tell again, all it does is hurt people deep down
Around 1983 a friend of a friend had a cheeze-grater 4 spd. hemi cuda that was a low-mile cream puff, I doubt he ever did a burn-out in it. Maybe 35k miles on it? Golden brown metallic with a black vinyl roof.
He'd take it out of the garage and make a 5 miles lap on weekends when the weather was nice and then put it away.
He wanted to sell it because it was too darned expensive with insurance and gas etc. but at that time they were looked at kinda like humvee's are now. I probably could have bought that car for $2 grand.
