My very first oops--
I must have been about 5 at the time.
Dad was working on the '56 Studebaker in the carport, and I asked him if I could help him.
Being the ace mechanic he was, he must have thought I carried enough of his genes to know better, but that was yet future.
Car was in neutral, brake was on. When he asked me to step on the gas, I did. Floored it. Left it there.
Put a fan blade thru the radiator.
He understood that training, not punishment was in order, but it was awhile before I had enough nerve to come near that car while the hood was up.
