Re: Real life trumps the internet everytime
SO many to pick from.
I went to Mackinaw City to do some work for the city. I drove my 70 Bonniville station wagon. 600 miles, 12 quarts of oil. I loved that car.
Anyway, while I'm there it snows 8" three days in a row. Not one to let a little snow slow me down, I jump in the car to go home. Aparently the starter had a different idea. So there I am in Macinaw City on saturday night, in 24' of new snow, car up on the bumper jack, taking out the starter. I scrounge around the back of the wagon and guess what I find? Another BAD starter. Off to the room for a heart operation. After a bit of time, cleaning, sanding, and assembly, I have a working starter.
Morning comes and I install the starter and fire up the car. I head out to the expressway and the police have it closed because of the snow. Since it's still early, I go to the Big Boy for breakfast. Just as I'm paying my bill, the officer that was guarding the entrance ramp comes in for a cup of coffee. A law abiding citizen would have respected the spirit of the road block and stayed another night. Even with all the snow it wasn't a bad drive. I was the only one on the road.
There's more stories, but I need to go to sleep now.
