Your Most Embarrasing Street Moment.

Frank Castros · 06-13-2010, 06:41 PM

When I was senior in high school (1973) I had a '69 Camaro SS 350/300 and it was a pretty hot car among many in the parking lot at school and one day a pretty hot chick (among many) asked me for a ride home. Of course I said yes and we head out.
She digs the car, I'm banging gears, I have Zeppelin cranked, (I'm so cool!) and as I'm driving I realize I can no longer steer the freak'n car! Not so cool!
I manage to get to the side of the road, open the hood to see what the hell is wrong and find a breather has fallen out of the left M/T valve cover and is jammed between the steering shaft of the box and the Hooker headers. I remove the mangled breather and drive off thinking I'm still cool.
Wrong! We get to her house, she gets out of the car, slams the door and says see ya!
I guess she wasn't impressed with my trouble shooting skills!
