it hickuped like a drunk, but wouldn't catch. It smelled like tequila for awhile after too! Ahhhh, I miss that Benz. That car was funny, it would run great most of the time. Randomly, at really busy intersections, it would die when the light would turn green. Everybody would be honking as you'd frantically try to get her to re-start. LOL
i remember fire... it was like that scene in back to the future 2 when they try it....

And it fires the distributor out of the car, lol classic. I ran my diesel jetta on eeverything. Methyl Alcohol, Automatic Transmission Fluid, starter fluid, vegetable oil. The ATF it didnt like at all, it wouldn't injest any of it at all, and quite literally pissed ONLY ATF out of the fuel pump until there wasnt any left. Kept running like nothing was happening, it was the funniest **** I ever saw.

my brother and I used to shoot the farm trucks, that was probably pretty stupid.
Yeah. My friend used to keep a few old cars that quit running out at his parents' farm. I forget what kind of car it was, but I can verify that a FMJ .45 ACP will penetrate a car door.

i almost lost my hand to an fd.
was installing the stock popups for a customer (at mazda, had flushmounts, wanted stockers again) i was lining everything up and had the headlight in the open position unplugged. With my hand in the hinged area i connected the light to the car...the headlight began to close, and its not slow. WHAM each finger being slowly crushed off while everyone is trying to figure out what i am yelling about. Felt like ages until someone finally figured it out and popped the lights up. Sucks being trapped by such a stupid thing at the front of the car with no way to fix it (plug wasnt easily accessed with my hand being crushed.)
