My Dad was pretty good at displaying his temper at times. The most outstanding incident in my memory was when I was sixteen and my class had a cook out one Friday evening after school at the home of one of the students. Dad let me drive the old 48 Plymouth, one of my friends had his sisters nearly new 55 Ford. We got kinda bored so we decided to go for a ride.This was on a dirt road and we decided to see how fast we could take this one particular curve. Well, my friend did very well, but when I hit the curve in the old Puddle Jumper she went into a skid and I over corrected and spun around in the road and slid into the ditch. Managed to get it out, but it had bent the rear axle at the very end and the wheel wobbled so bad that it rubbed the body. My friend drove me home to get Dad, my heart was really heavy with fear, but when Dad saw what had happened, he looked at me and chuckled and said, "Going a little it too fast weren't you?" We drove it home, replaced the rear axle with one from a junker and nothing else was ever said. I guess Dad figured that experience was the best teacher.
