1975, I was working as a lube boy for the local Buick dealership. The wash boy brought around a 1970 GS Stage 1 4-speed a guy just traded in, I decided a little "test" drive was in order so after going down the street a bit to a connecting street that was nice and straight I revved her up and dumped the clutch-----"bang" "zing" I thought I blew the clutch until I looked out the back window and saw the driveshaft with the pinion still attached. Needless to say that was long walk back, made me fix the car then fired me.
