Lol..man even my house wouldn't pay that, we do not have many ferraris here 3 in this city and maybe 25 in the hole country,here even old car are expesive ...gasoline is free but car even pieces of junks are a fortune and this looks like brand new

Ah, that "OH @#$%" feeling

Brakes worked just fine on my old 89 Bronco II.  But I had really thick rubber floor mats.  Took off one day to meet a friend.  Got to his place which has a very long lane to get to the house...usualy drive 20-25 mph down it.  Got to the end of the lane to find that my floor mat had shifted up under the brake.  At this point I was down to under 20 mph but also at the house.  So it was eather turn towards the yard (full of large trees) or hit the house.  So I choose the yard.  I quickly found a nice sturdy tree   Good news, I stopped, and only had a couple cuts and bruises.  Bad news is the Bronco was totaled.  Good part was I got a 91 F-150 out of it

It had a parking break.  But it was one you had to use your foot for and in a situation like that you dont have time to get your foot up high enough and over far enough to do any good   

These pics were taken litteraly the evening before my little accident.  All clean and shiny right after a wash and wax job.  Was taking the pictures because we were going to sell it

Very nice condition for an 89.  Had only about 70,000 miles on it   Only 10,000 on the new trans.  Ran great...Problem was it only had a little 2.9L V6, didnt have a lot of power if I had more then 1 passenger, and it was horible in winter

A few minutes after waxing

And theres the one little problem that could have made for a better outcome.  Notice the parking/E break is in a very odd spot.  No possible way to step on it quickly.  Kind of a dumb place IMO.


It was an automatic, not a stick.  Thats just for the 4x4 options.  Dont have any pics from the next day.  Didnt want them personaly.  It was my first vehical and kind of my baby   Wanted to add to it but decided to try and sell it insted.  Pretty POed at myself since it all could have been avoided if I had paid more attention to the mat before I took off.  Amazing what a large tree can do even at just 15-20 mph

I've successfully done that but I'd best mention that one needs to remember to pull back on the release at the same time or you'll lock up.

You not have a compulsory MOT where you are? In Britain all cars over three years must have an MOT every 12 months. It is illegal to drive without it. An MOT is basically a medical check for a car and they are very strict. Funny I say that - ours got back from its MOT today. It passed.
