A likely story about the camel and the yodeling chinese, etc, and TOO believable for an excuse. I would say " Dad, before you realize your Vette got damaged and before you get real mad, let me tell you what hapened: My buddy has a red V-8 Fiero. The president of GM got lost after his private plane crashed. He was wandering in the forest and knocked on our door. We talked cars and I showed him the red V-8 Fiero and the Vette. He believed this particular Fiero was stock because he remembed asking Mr. Duntov to make him one. Well, just to be polite, we showed him your Vette and he just shrugged. As a matter of fact, he took it for a spin, because GM was building a retro Vette based on the Suzuki chassis. The president wanted to see how fast your Vette was by driving backwards; according to him he said he needed to do this so that the development mule back in Bowling GreenKentucky could be fitted with Yugo-type rear defoggers. The next thing we know this helicpter shows up ostensibly to pick up the GM president, and accidentally landed on a fuel truck. The fuel truck lost control and hit an asparagus patch, sliped on the vegetables, did a four wheel drift and hit your Vette. I know this is true becasue when I was told of this after my afternoon nap, the president of GM called and thanked me for the visit. Dad if you doubt me, simply call GM and ask for the president. Tell him everything I said and he he'll vouch for me.

Sincerely,

Ooo, I already have your excuse

Wife, I need to talk to you...
First, I would like to let you know I love you, but the love is pending on your reaction to what I'm about to tell you.
For you to fully understand what I'm about to tell you let me give you a little bit of my past. I will start off with my abusive father. I don't blame him for locking me in the basement and making me roll around in rabbit fecies but I do blame him for the lack of lawn care. Seriously, I can take a scolding hot iron to my genitals but overgrown shrubberies are absolutely detrimental to a aspiring young boy. On top of these emotional scars, I suffered severe brain trama when I was about 12. I was struck on the head with a fast traveling object. I don't remember what it was but many witnesses have suggested things such as a meteor, massive brick frozen airline waste, a massive load of bricks, a massive brick going really fast, a 500mph fastball, an overweight drunken vulture, a large hanging display in a museum, or the Dukes of Hazard car after it takes a 80mph jump off of a hay truck. Because of this head trama, pubirty happened latter in my life around the age I met you. Going through my teens with the mentality of a 12 year old landed me in jail several times which lead me to being anal raped by other inmates with industrial tools. This may perhaps explain my uncanny love for cantelopes, 12 volt batteries, and radioactive termites. Now that being said....*insert your confession here*

i need to find a 9in k&n and see if it fits couse that little paper filter may be cousing me to bog a touch at full throttle i think.

More importantly the Fiero is OK.

Lol Random, that first story was so funny I thought people in my office were going to start giving me funny looks. I almost fell off my chair!

From the Police News.

"4:31 pm There was a report of an African American woman sitting on a park bench on Valley Wood Road. Officer Aaron O'Neil checked the area with a negative find. Registered solicitors were in the area."

Nice town. "911, what is your emergency?"
"Um, it seems that there is a Negro within city limits. Please send the SWAT team!"

yeah, the way the rear tire is cocked I'd say something snapped nicely in there

dad shouldn't have had keys available to the kid. If it was me I would go a step further since I'm always so anal about things like that...I unplug the ignition system when I'm not driving that baby

hiller,

Nice car. The chrome in the engine bay looks great.

Nah, that Vette was one of the few that made it out of the factory with 4-wheel steering. Whew, I would not have been in your friends' shoes for anything. If I'd've been him, I'd've probably got on the embankment under the car, and just asked ya to push the car on down, lol...
