I had a 1968 4 speed GTO Convertible, no power steering or brakes. I was a freshman at Young Harris College in the mountains of North Georgia. 2nd night there I took 3 other guys I had known for 2 whole days out for a ride. Well, we were going 70 MPH on a road I had never driven and I decided to step on the gas.....bad idea. We went to 90 MPH faster than you can say oh ----. Best of all the road bent 90 degrees. Well, I am still here today, and so are my 3 ex friends but let me tell you, what a ride! we flew off a ledge about 7 to 8 feet high, right into a small corn field and bounced about 10 times without flipping (the top was down). As came to a stop, we got out and surveyed the situation. No way to drive up an 8 foot embankment, so we walked through the field until we saw a driveway about 100 yards away. I ran back to the car and drove it to the driveway smashing corn the entire time. Pulled back onto the road, drove back to school at 35 MPH and took stock when we got back. There was Silver Queen everywhere it could be in the suspension. I went back the next day to survey the scene and there was this little old farmer standing in the field scratching his head wondering what type of UFO landed in his corn! It was hoot. But the 3 guys never rode with me again, I wonder why? Rusty Cullens BuyMBparts, Inc.
