The stupidest thing I have ever done...
O.K then here is my dumb *** story, back in 1982 we went to the Indy 500 for about the 10th time, we drank all weekend closed all the bars slept for about an hour and when the race was over it's every body out all lanes out there is no incoming lanes they all go out, so on the way out of the track I ran over a guy directing traffic! not really but he went over my hood and fender and landed on his feet, we were only going about 5 mph so he wasn't hurt but he was really pissed off. My buddy goes you are to drunk to drive let me drive, so I said O.K. this is were it all went bad. All was good till it started raining major league at 70 MPH my dumb *** friend made a lane change and my 73 Ford Torino that had L 60 15's on the back and that thing did a 180, now we are going backwards at 70 MPH in heavy traffic, he screams what do I do, and I said turn around, he spins the wheel and we do 3.5 turns and end up on the berm in the right direction never hit any thing. I said pull over I got to piss so he does a swerve around a mile marker and we go down a hill about 15 FT splash in a field full of water, I open the door and water is coming in so I drain myself and I hear some yell hay grab this, 2 guys are on the berm with a truck and throw down a giant strap about 6" wide with big loops sown in to the end so I hook it over my front bumper that resembles a park bench and he pulls us right out, couldn't believe it. We are on the road again, stop in southern Ohio to get gas and my buddy was trying to get closer to the pump when he backs up and the bumper is sticking out from the pull up the hill and catches the hose to the pump and down it comes smashing on the pavement. The attendant comes running out screaming I called the cops don't try to run I got your license #. We filled up the tank and the sheriff shows up and gets all of our license and he tell my buddy I know you, we are still 100 miles away from home, here he was my friend neighbor about 8 years ago was real good friend with his dad, and he ask us how did you guys get so drunk, the reply, we have been at Indy for 3 days drinking so he let us go made us follow him to the hotel next door and got us a room and we never paid for the tank of gas we got or the pump. When we got in the room the Indy 500 was on the TV so we got to see the race. It was a hell of a week end.
