A fellow I used to work for about 40 years ago liked to entertain at his house. One day he was planning a big todo at his house that evening and was helping prepare for it.

He drove a big T bird ( this was the era when T birds had 430 cubic inch engines with about 500 ft lb of torque so when you punched it they really lept).

As he pulled into the garage in a hurry he accidentally hit the gas instead of the brake and drove through the end wall of the garage....when the car did not slow down he had pushed harder on the gas thinking it was the brake. The dining room was on the other side of the garage wall. The T bird went into the dining room scattering finger food which had been carefully laid out on the table everywhere, and as the wall had been a bearing wall the bedroom above was now sinking into the whole mess, ending up on the roof of the t bird.

So funny things can happen. The biggest problem for Randy is that the engine is not covered by insurance,
