Those bars are what gives these cars their characteristic rides; stuff it into a turn and the inside rear wheel starts spinning,lol.
Ok, well, you need a 360Aspen at least to stuff it that hard. I mean who pushes their Dad's teener 5th Avenue that hard?, heehee. Besides the 5thAve is a tank, and plows like a 6-wheel trailer; I mean,TURN! TURN-dog-gone-it,TURN-already!!....BAM!, another bent wheel. At least Dads 5th plowed like that.lol
Like me, Dad only had 3 rules; you break it/you fix it,have it home when you say you will have it home, and you buy your own gas. I added one for my son one day when he brought it home smelling like an ashtray; You guessed it, the guy who stunk up my car never gets into it again, understood? A little later I added another, if you can't be home on time cuz you're stuck in a ditch with snow over the windshield, or you're stuck at the cop-shop, I expect a call; and I don't care what time of day or night you call.
I mean what 16 year old kid is not gonna test the limits of Daddy's hotrod? If it's got nearly twice the factory rated power, it is likely to be at least twice as easy to get it into trouble. Now,last fall, my only son, turned 32, and his stories are starting to come out. And his overriding gratefulness goes to the Formula-Ss awesome stopping power, and it's tendency to go where it's pointed.
Go figure.
Anyway off topic, but I print the memories when they come,lol.
