Default Re: What is the worst story of a wasted Supercar?

Back in H/School during the spring of 1978,an older new student named Tim pulled into our shopclass with a white M/T 1974 SuperDuty T/A to have it tuned and touched.When lunch hour came,he wanted to treat us all to sub's @ Italian U-boat off Roosevelt Rd.
There was a very rural and wicked lil 1/4 mile road nearby called Lacey Ave. that we used to all secretly run our cars down,but it had a nasty whiplash S curve at the end,as well as potholes & dips that you had better well respect and shut down once you saw the picked fence off to the side.
We only had 45 minutes before our next class,so after lunch we all headed back.Tim wanted to see Lacey and experience it.We told him we didn't have time,so headed back to school in another car,but he headed straight to Lacey ave.We told him to slow down once he sees the fence.He didn't and we found out later that day after no one had heard from him that his car went airborn and plowed into the embankment where Lacey met Finley.He flipped & totaled the car so badly,that he was lucky to be alive.
I remember him saying what chumps the insurance co. was.
Bet he's not saying that today,if at all.
His twisted wreckage sat in Jerrys Valley Auto Wreckers in Lemont for nearly 15 years before they scrapped it.
Harvested all to hell too..
