GPS may have told to make left!

 

Happened to me many moons ago when I was 19. Spun a 63 Vert around in a 360, never dropped my beer, and kept on driving. Had to buy new underwear the next day though. I my defense I was young and stupid.

 

Must've been a youngster. Geriatrics never do dumb things. Except my wife has had her exam rooms driven INTO twice by the elderly.

In other news...Donny's son just cut a 12.8x ET on bias ply tires.

 

Ran when it was parked.

i used to buy cars from the salvage yard and I knew that they didn't get rid of them because that they were having problems mechanically.

 

Their is something odd about that picture.

 

Yeah - I was thinking the same thing

 

I think it is the fact that the OP shot it moving, the car is only partially in focus and the background even less.

 

So you sat in messed up underwear overnight?

 

Cragar S/S, introduced about 1964, polished aluminum hub and spokes riveted to a chromed steel rim. Heavy but VERY strong and safe, favored for front axle use by exhibition wheelstanders over one-piece cast aluminum or magnesium wheels like American Racing, Ansen or Cragar's own one-piece wheels.

 

So, if an older car is wrecked it must have been a youngster.
No, that's not well said, its pure speculation based on nonsense.
Younger drivers have better motor skills and eye hand coordination than 95% of us old f@rts. It just as logical to say it was some octogenarian that crashed while having chest pains.

Many (not all) younger drivers are also less concerned about the consequences of operating well beyond their skills. I can speak for myself when I bought my '64 when I was 16 (well one month before turning 16). I spun it two revolutions in an intersection because I wanted to make a rooster tail around a corner in the rain on little stock tires. Lucky it was a huge intersection with no cars there that day. I'm 45 now, and would first sign up for lessons on stunt driving before doing that to my '64 now; something I would even consider when I was 16 (risky bravado).

That hand eye coordination is developed and practiced. I still play video games, never quit really, and have to revive many of the younger gamers whose avatars keep dying.

 

"circulus in probando" ? Have to admit, I had to look that up....yes the syllogism I mentioned was flawed logic.

As far as eye-hand coordination, how many of us oldsters push our cars enough to keep those skills up at the extremes of performance ? I was pretty good 20 years doing autocross....I'm leery of even breaking the back tires loose at this point.

I grabbed a quick third gear in my '61 a few weeks back and it started going sideways on a rain-slicked street....(skinny tires and peg-leg rear end)....I'd forgotten how easy it is to get in trouble with these cars (at any age).
