Bronco Toy Giveaway!!!
#16
I'm at work so no pic, but I'll try to add one from home later.

I was home from college for Thanksgiving break. I had been working on the blue bronco for the past year on body work and finally had it back together. I told one of my friends to come over and I'd throw the seats in it and we'd take it for a spin around the block. 2 bolts in each seat was good for a trip around the block - no roll bar, no doors, no seat belts - basically just a freshly painted tub on the chassis. My drum brakes ended up locking up on me as I tried to brake for a dog in the road and we hit a parked car on the side of the road at 35 MPH. I totaled the Corsica that I hit and the bronco actually rolled up on top of it. The had to ask me to back off of the car so he could get the license tag, which was balled up like a piece of popcorn. I did end up having to replace a fender and some bondo work in the grill where the rear spoiler stuck it, but I drove it home! Fortunatley my friend and I were both safe. I had bruised thumbs for a couple weeks where I gripped the wheel and he had a swollen knee from the knee/dash hit. I left the dent in the dash for stories!

No pics of the accident, but I do have some good pics of the damage I'll post later.
