oh heck , maybe this could help him feel better . Years ago while doing a tuneup on a 1980 PLYMOUTH Colt I reached in and turned on the ignition to listen how it sounds and away it GOES

!!! I forgot I had left it in 1st gear ( didn't have the safety feature to push in clutch before starting , I and a few others with short term memories inspired the need for that

) . Anway , I ran along the car and reached back into it and shut if off while still moving but it hit corner of the house

. The impact shook the house while my fiance' was in it . So she comes runing out saying " What the heck was that ! " . Thus , I had to explain what it was

. Luckily there was very little damage and no one was hurt . The car did run better tho

. I look back at it now and
