It was about 340 HP and after all the paper work was done the kid took it out and stood on the gas. Made it a couple hundred feet lost it and he went sideways into a light pole and fire hydrant. Did a lot of damage. Daddy took what was left of that car back and the punk was given a Volkswagen beetle as a car.  |
Sounds just like one of my best friends from HS. Got a brand new 1984 Vette with the 4+3. After several relatively minor accidents, including running over a brick mailbox in his subdivision, he finally killed it by taking a turn too fast and launching it over a bar ditch into a yuge oak tree. Parents owned a grocery store, too.
