That was actually a friends car. That is in my shop, at my wrecking yard, the day after I jumped a curb, spun around 3 times and ended back out in the street. We were at our street racing site where the cops let us race every Friday and Sat night. He wanted me to drive it and race another car. He forgot to mention that the block to keep it from going into reverse was broken off. It was one of those racing shifters that all you did was slap it to go to the next gear. At about 100 mph, I slapped it to go to 3rd and it went straight to reverse. Locked up the reareand and away I went. Missed a telephone pole by about 2' and clipped the guy wire with the rear wheel. Ended up being no permanent damage. Other than my britches.
