On my 20th birthday I went to get gas in town and in front of about 20 people I drove away with the pump nozzle still in my car. I ripped the hose right out of the bay. My two buddies that were in my car were laughing their asses off.
I was at New England Dragway at the import event in 2000, and I though I was going to be clever and make my own fiberglass intake with a resonance chamber (theoretically, it would tune your car for more HP at a certain RPM range, it fit onto the upper part of my iceman intake). Well, this thing was ugly, really ugly, but it worked. It didn't give more or less pwer than the iceman, but it worked.
The problem was it wasn't attached so well to the car. It seems fiberglass and epoxy resin gets a little soft if heated up too uch
Here's the embarrasing moment. I was in line at the drag strip and pulling in front of the burnout box, when I turned the wheel to straighten the car out and moved forward, I hear this loud crunching sound. I get out of the car and see my ugly intake laying onthe ground behind the car. It had charred slightly as it hit the header when it fell out. So, naturally I ran out of the car to get it and threw it inthe back seat and did the drag run without it.
The only thing was, the stands were packed, I mean PACKED to capacity, so EVERYONE saw this piece of something or other fall out of the back of the car and though my car was falling apart at the line! A few people had to come by and ask me what the hell was going on and what on earth I was thinking.
Hmm. Lets see. Uh, it had to be tonight when I was at the track. I did a dry burnout with 18psi in my tires and overrevved. I heard a clanging noise but figured it was the mustang next to me. So, light goes green, and I go to launch it and the car doesnt move. I check to see if its in gear, and it is. So, me and the other guys at the tree push it back and what do I see. A big trail of transmission fluid and pieces of the bell housing and what appears to be pieces of some gears laying on the track in a puddle of fluid. Yeah, it was embarassing when a few hundred people were laughing at me, and I held up the last run at the night after we had all waited for 2 hrs after a piece of shit Chevy broke. Ahem. So. There you are.
