Was going down the road one day in the work truck, trying to find a station on the AM radio, and found one that came in clear. Was G. Gordon Liddy doing a talk show. Anyway, told or read a story, don't know if was true, but was so hilarious at the time, I about crashed was laughing and crying so hard, maybe because he was laughing so hard, he was crying and could barely get the story out. As best I can remember, a couple of guys, sounded like moonshiners, took a turbin out of a huey helicopter and mounted it in the back of a Chevy station wagon, and somehow got it to work. They took the wagon out onto some back road or highway, fired it up, and shot down the road gaining more and more speed. As the story went, there was a hill that they went up and were going so fast, that the wagon naturally didn't hug the road coming down the other side, they just kind of kept airborne long enough to creame the side of a much larger hill, and unfortunately, was the end of them and the worlds fastest almost stock station wagon. I don't know if the story was true, but if it was and they were killed, I'm sorry for that. But the vision of a beatup Caprice Estate wagon going so fast the painted on wood's burning off the sides with two guys trying desperately not to spill their hooch... and I was in tears. Mark
