Exactly. And when you have to do too much modifying, you can almost be assured something is gonna fall out at 100mph. Heck I was driving our Camaro home from work one afternoon a year later when the alternator fell out on the freeway! But that was because we had a 'backyard mechanic' neighbour who didnt work, replace the old one we had when it died. He owed us some money so the trade was sorta fair. Oh, the younger, wild days of crazy friends and neighbours.

This picture was taken in September of 1982, in the mountains of eastern Arizona, with my girlfriend back then and the 1979 Camaro Z-28 that helped me get those two speeding tickets within an hour....

I dont know the owner of this car but couldnt resist getting the pic while sitting at the stoplight. Guess he had his own way of 'customizing' his back window, low-budget style. A little masking tape, some red spray paint (look at the overspray on the cab) and viola, your customized 'oops'! Now how much more 'ghetto' can ya get??!
Now, does this guy take first place in here or what?? Lol.

LOL.. So how badly was the truck damaged, and what did they do for reparation?

Not real bad but they put new out sides on the drivers side.
about 6 months after that he was mowing and he got a phone call and I took the phone to him outside. He thought he put the mower out of gear and threw his leg over the steering wheel to get off and the mower jumped and he cut a backward flip in the yard.

Before he could get up the mower ran into the drivers side of the truck and bounced off three times. He got it turned off and I handed him the phone holding my breath trying not to laugh. He reached for the phone and he had something on his hand and the dummy smelled of it.

He has a very weak stomach and he had landed in dog poo. He started gaging and I lost it. If he had of shot me I would have laughed. It wouldn't have been as funny but he had done the back flip lawn mower trick before.

LOL.. I guess that's also one way to tint a window!

That's a classic 1971 El Camino.

I'm gagging, just visualizing this, thefer. My husband could do you one better.

As children, he and his sister were playing with the one kid recognized in the entire neighborhood as the stingiest. A lot of construction at the time, and they had carried their little cars and trucks down to play in the builder's sand on one of the sites.

Mr. Stingy starts shrieking, "Oh! C-l-a-y!"

Of course, the other children want clay to play with, but would he share? N-O!

The others pouted, that is until they began to smell 'something,' and it wasn't quite the earthiness of clay.
