[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2302792, member: 15929"]I've done some really stupid stuff as well. I think everybody did this one but I had a 1960 Fiat which had a "throttle". For the young one's, the throttle was a rudimentary "cruise control". At any rate on "Blood Alley" as highway 101 between Morgan Hill and San Jose was known back in the 60's, I'd set the throttle then climb over into the passenger bucket seat with my left hand on the wheel. Stupid, stupid, stupid. It's the stupid stuff that goes just right which allowed us idiots to survive. Had I experienced a blow out while pulling the little trick, I wouldn't be here today. In that same car, which was a "4 on the floor", I had a broken right arm which didn't prevent me from steering and shifting with my left arm! Dumb, Dumb, Dumb, could have easily turned into Dum Dum Dum Dum Dum Dum Dum Dum Dum Dum Dum. We won't even talk about Highway 9 over to Santa Cruz.............[/QUOTE]
