It was a bad one too... Summer of ‘79, and I had just got me a brand new Ranchero GT... Had it 2 days
Super sweet ride that I only had 106 miles on the odometer before I took it through a guys yard, hitting his car, truck and motorcycle before burying my Rancheroo into his house. Bedroom to be exact. I wasn't really hurt but I couldn't get out of the Ranchero because the doors were jammed shut. The hood was straight up and we had a small fire going on in the engine bay. This dude grabs his shotgun and puts it on my temple telling me that I just wrecked everything he owns and he was going to kill me. I told him that maybe we should call the sheriff because this was just an accident. After some discussion, I convinced him that we would better off calling the cops then handling this ourselves...
Anyhow... Cops got there, I get a major azz ticket, but lived to enjoy another day...
Ah, sweet memories.... “Highway to Hell“ always makes me think of that night...
