The Mazda:

Alright i got this 4 door mazda car for free from a chick at school... th rear passenger shock and tower were folded into the trunk...

So i trailered it home... got it running good and trailered it to school... i then forced the shock tower back into place and braced it with any and everything i could get my hands on... metal wise... I tacked stuff up and had a couple of friends final burn it it the next class period... well im headed out to the local mud hole doin about60 and i learn what great welders i have as friends... power sliding a corner and the tire winds up back in the trunk... screw it i aint comin all this way for no fun.... So i get to the mud hole and proceed to beat the lving snot out of this car... i jumped it like 5 feet high and landed in a mud hole... got it stuck... had the interior full of water... it never stopped running... until i get the dist. wet. dried it off and it started right back up... i blasted the car down a hill and through a thicket of trees all about 4" around and after i came through i had no hood, but the car was runing and there was a new path through the trees... I ran this thing full throttle all day long... through mud. water. trees up hills down hills slammin into mud holes at 60 mph... as the day was comin to an end i was venturing around seeing if i could get this thing stuck and i hit a hole hard... the batter comes bouncing out and breaks a wire terminal... cant get a good connection so i cant start the car... and i cant get it to connect good enough for the jumper cables to do anything either... so i tow it to a good point and i head out... next day i go out there and the car was burned... kids the night before had got drunk and burned my indestructable car... O well... i chalked it up as there mess.

Moral of story... free cars rock... espically mazda's

I have many more stories of that car... but this is enough for now...
