Ended up hitting an Ace Hardware store. Good thing it wasn't a mustang or it would have taken out a half dozen people on the way.

Did you watch this one too? It came up as a suggestion for me. So many fails leading up to the big one. Pure luck that someone wasn't killed. Fucking idiots.

Speaking of people doing stupid things.

Yesterday I drove my FRS up to the mall shopping area. As I was going onto the drive that circles the mall, where you have the right away, I stopped because the street that it "T"d into was jammed up with cars.

I decided not to add to the mess by not pulling into the intersection, thus blocking the intersection. Some dude behind me driving a newish, monster, red pick up truck, kept blowing his horn and inching toward me. I ignored him.

When the intersection cleared, I proceeded to turn left and proceed up the street. The A-hole stayed on my rear bumper then he quickly pulled out to pass (in the shopping mall drive!). What I dumb ass I thought, but I just proceeded on.

THEN, the jerk swerved over in front of me - I sharply cut to the right and avoided a collision. THEN, he slammed on his brakes. I again I cut to the right and slammed on my brakes. THEN he pulled off the street into a fast food place and stopped and flipped me off. I just glared at him and drove off.

Lucky for that jerk, I wasn't 40 years younger, because I would have pulled in behind him, jerked that MF out of his truck and beat him senseless with my bare fists. -

Oh, not to worry about him chasing after me, I slipped my ol .45 ACP from its pocket just in case he wanted to escalate the situation.

Did I whimp out? Should I turn in my "man" card?

The part of the madness I saw elsewhere starts at 15:45 but the whole clip is....is...ummm...interesting.

Just what I needed to see before I install the power brake kit on a friends 63' Comet this winter.

Perhaps serendipitous, no? Does it also have the sticky throttle feature?

I don't.....think so. Out of paranoia I am probably going to give the entire car a once over before I let it go now

Ya they would have been fine with the smaller brakes if it wasn't for that throttle sticking. To take it out knowing that it would stick AND the brakes were smelling is a dumbass move.
I have made worse choices over the years though.

SO many red flags ignored. It's sickening.

I am super surprised a fire wasn't started from that.
They did seemed prepared for one just incase, but still.
