I bought a 64 Ranchero off a farm 60 miles from home a few years ago. Dad and I used a chain through a pipe as a towbar... Pipe keeps the two cars from hitting eeeeach other if you mess up.... We were on the interstate rolling right along about 60 when the floor gave way and the seat hit the highway... I had no lights, horn etc... Dad had settled in and wasnt paying much attention since the last 40 miles had been easy... So here I am, gripping the wheel with both feet braced on either side of whats left of the floorpan...seat dragging the highway and sparks flying out from under the ranchero. I'm waving one hand when I dare let go and screaming obscenities out of my half way down, stuck in place window!!!!
Finally a guy comes by us in the fast lane blowing the horn and gets Dads attention.... He hits the shoulder of the road and comes running back to the truck as the seat starts to smoke from all of the sparks with my half laying on it and the floor still cussing...
Now keep in mind, I am a BIG man, at that time ( 10yrs ago) like 360lbs...this had to be some funny $%iT to see!!! Dad had to help me up, then we had to finish ripping the seat and floor away and roll it into the ditch to pour muddy water on it so it wouldn't start a damn forest fire... all the while we didn't notice the wasps the smoke had pissed off pouring out of the defroster tubes until we walked back to the truck... If they had hit me too I might not have been able to hang on!!!!
I wish I had it on video... I'd be $100,000 richer for sure!!!
So now, I own a trailer!
