My dad's cousin (who's in her mid-seventies now) was telling a story about the time she blew the muffler off her dad's car when she over-choked it.
She and a girlfriend went to the dance on sunday night and when they went to go home the car wouldn't start. Her friend told her to keep choking and pumping. When the car fired the accumulated gas in the muffler lit up and the muffler blew apart. I can imagine how scared a couple of high school girls would be when this happens.
Did I tell you they weren't supposed to leave town in the first place, let alone go to the next town to the dance?
Well, they drove the car home, shutting it off right before they got to the house, and they coasted into the garage. Her dad was the rural mailman and he used this car for his job so he wasn't too happy when he fired it up the next morning. I never did hear what the consequences were. Jim
