Speaking of Darwin awards. When I was about 15 guy had 55 ford automatic. Thing wouldn't start and someone suggested three of us sit back of the trunk put our feet out for push start. Sounds good right? Well, anybody that pushed started automatic back them knows it took about 20 to 30 mph to get the transmission converter enough pressure to turn the engine over. When it kicked off the guy floor boarded it. As it left the push car we sudden had nothing to keep us separated. Luckily this car had duel antenna's and and crome trim to clench on our we would of slide off the heavily waxed trunk at about 40 plus mph. Maybe this was teen age buddy that didn't learn darn thing?
