Default Ghost of Bubba

I recall some unfortunate individual posting here a few years back describing his post-brake job C3 test drive...his house had an uphill driveway...brakes didn't work so good but he took the plunge anyway and tried to park it in the garage under its own power. Of course he couldn't stop once he crested the driveway...crashed into the water heater and the resulting fire burned up not only the vette but the house along with it. Bubba indeed...
