How about this:
My 72 GT (69 motor w/Weber)- driving home from my girlfriends house, about 3-4 miles, in 4" of snow. No big deal really, except the about two blocks from her housd, the throttle sticks wide open.
My 74 Manta- flying down the highway at 80 mph, on the way to a friends house, go up the poorly maintained, very tight, cloverleaf at about 55, (I loved sliding and drifting that car). I decided to get gas and pulled into a station about 100 feet from the end of the exit ramp, just as I pull up to the pump the left front of the car drops 6". I thought I had hit one of the access plates in the pump area. No such luck! Lower balljoint broke! Not 20 seconds after I was doing my best to set a record up the exit.
Broke a brake disc (top hat section separated from the disc portion) 2weeks later. Got a nice metal frisbee now.
