I had that on my way to Zdayz. Outside still had meat. Closer look revealed that thanks to the negative camber on the Z, inside was much worse. Replaced them right after. No more hydroplaning!

When leaving deer camp I couldn't get out of the hilly 2 track drive, there was only 2-3" of snow on the ground
Took about 15 min.to go a quarter mi.
Oh yeah, while sliding down a small hill backwards,

BAM, right in to a tree !
Very minimal damage

I shut it down, it sounded like it came from the back passenger side.

There was enough oil on the track for them to black flag the session to get me off and clean up the oil. I talk to a guy afterwards and he said him and one other car slid right through turn 1. I hope it is blown high pressure oil line.

Best flight ever....

I worked with a Gunnery Sergeant (E7) that was prone to puke at the least little thing. We were on a C130 with a Direct Air Support Central shelter in the back of it. There was just enough room for a skinny person to get by the shelter either side, if you were a little stocky, you had problems getting through to the back. The gunny was just along for the flight hours, I was in charge of making sure the shelter was operational and I had a lance corporal (E3) with me. We handed off the system to the operators and kicked back on the jump seats to enjoy the ride. My E3 decided he was gonna mess with the gunny, knowing how easy it was to get him to puke...

He sat right across from the gunny, making 'puke' faces, (you know the gagging sound with bulging cheeks)... Gunny said, 'you better stop it'... and I told the E3, 'be careful, he might puke on you in revenge'..... well.... Gunny wasn't a small man.... and he managed to get past the shelter, to the portable head without puking on the shelter or the aircraft, but boy..... he stunk up the aircraft....

The crew chief was pissed, and the E3 wound up cleaning the head when we got back on the ground.....

I am torn, the cheap fix would be great easy fix car not down for a long time and I still am not out of harms way as five year boosted on stock motor and pounding it at the track. Part of me just wants to get the motor built and be done with it which means a long down time and big expense. At least I have already purchased a closed deck block and CP rods and pistons.

That was a brave LCP to mess with a gunny. I made the unwise decision as a lowly E3 at the pistol range. Our CO had just qualified as Expert on his 45. The First Sergeant was proctoring his session. As I walked by, I said "Captain, are you SURE you didnt cheat?". Top turns to me with a glare that wouldve melted the snow caps.. "ARE YOU QUESTIONING MY INTEGRITY PRIVATE FIRST CLASS?!!!?"... No First Sergeant!...I instinctively dropped and did 10 pushups, got back up and made a beeline and crawled back under my rock...

This was back in the late 70's. I was in the DoD. Had a pilot who wanted to fly fighters. He some how ended up flying 130's, and didn't like it.

Hated flying with him. Because he never stuck to the flight plans.

Used to call his plane the Upchuck Special.

Pizz calls was opening the rear ramp. And wizzing off the back of It over some town.
