  2. Brainerd,Mn 1982 it all started about 3pm a buddy of mine was a bar tender for a Night Club on Gull lake just North of town I zipped up from Minneapolis in a '73 Impala I just took in on trade it had a 400 small block and could that thing Fly ! Well after making it up North in record time it was off to the lake where it was Happy Hour and each round came with a pull tab for the price of the round every round we cost the 3 of us 10 cents, so needles to say setting at the outside bar in the sun next to the dock we were pretty comfortably numb by the time Happy Hour ended at 7pm still waiting on another buddy to show up and still being thirsty we stayed until about 8:30. When buddy showed up nobody wanted to drive so buddy being the only sober one was going to run us back to the cabin the he saw the Impala and wanted to drive that and that was fine by me,However I did tell say the thing has some power and to take it easy...Well on the second corner trying to get into the groove of the corner the RF tire caught the gravel next to the asphalt and we started to slide and between hitting the gas & over correcting across the road we went hitting an inbackment and after a little air time the force of landing sent me and a buddy out the rear window into a swamp, good thing we had a buzz on otherwise we would have been hurt more. So after a meat wagon ride into town and some misc. Dr. bills towing,storage & impound charge it kinda put a damper on the weekend,but we still laugh about it. I was able to drive the Impala back to Minneapolis however it did not quite look or drive the same so we all pitched in and made it into a stock car for dirt tracks and that was fun but that lead to the next division up and became more expensive to run every weekend.

  4. Sorry Everyone I posted this on a few other site and it's a 'Snope' deal But I still like the story Urban Legends Reference Pages: Portuguese Barn Find
  5. A New York man retired. He wanted to use his retirement money wisely, so it would last, and decided to buy a home and a few acres in Portugal. The modest farmhouse had been vacant for 15 years; the owner and wife both had died, and there were no heirs. The house was sold to pay taxes. There had been several lookers, but the large barn had steel doors, and they had been welded shut. Nobody wanted to go to the extra expense to see what was in the barn, and it wasn't complimentary to the property anyway... so, nobody made an offer on the place. The NY guy bought it at just over half of the property's worth; moved in, and set about to tear in to the barn... curiosity was killing him. So, he and his wife bought a generator and a couple of grinders... and cut thru the welds. What was in the barn? Go to; Barnfinds Portugal and start wishing you had bought the place.

  9. That dog won't hunt ! Prepare and expect the unexpected...PERIOD ! Kinda funny how it did not explain what he was doing ? most likely driving beyond what the machine can handle much less the driver. I feel bad that people get hurt or worse,However personal responsibility,accountability and common sense always seems to be lacking then someone gets hurt and it's the Machines fault.
