Can identify mightily, at 16 and with no mechanically inclined adults in the family my Buddy and I set in to install a “hotter” cam on my 59 Vette. Comedy of errors but just before I was about to go back in and advance the cam to where it should be I was wrecked by an uninsured driver. Bought a front clip but the body shop kept stringing me along until finally offering to buy the car from me so I could get a car for college (67 SS396/325 Chevelle, a very nice car BTW).

Thanks John, lots of memories stirred by this story, not all good but hey, that’s how many of us learned. We weren’t all fortunate enough to be raised by gearheads.
