Anyone ever seen the movie 'Christine'? The one where the giant old Cadillac goes psycho and kills everyone in its path? Well Today I realized something.
I have a 1954 Oldsmobile I bought to use as a parts car/possible daily driver for the 1955 Olds i'm restoring for Mel. When I was trailering the thing home, it got dark about half way home. I look out the rear view mirror and all I could see was this dark image and a menacing grin every time I would hit the brakes. I innocently said to my younger brother 'You ever seen the move Christine? I'm starting to get scared of this 4,000 pound chunk of metal. It looks just like a scene in the movie!" He shrugged it off and so did I.
While unloading the car, it managed to slip off the u-haul and nearly go barreling through a forest of trees, another car, and my little brother. Never again would I do this, I thought. This car is cursed!
While pulling the engine and transmission, the hoist goes out and nearly crushes everything around it. As i'm trying to recover from that incident, one on the wheel stops mysteriously slides out and the car starts to roll forward. With me sitting in the engine bay.
Luckily it hit a brick and stopped.
But good. God.
I'm getting rid of this curse.
Anyone else have Car horror stories?

Hey I just barely stopped worrying about you getting hurt working on cars. Sheez. Don't get eaten by another olds ok? My only car story is the one where my windshield decided to give me a panic attack by cracking while I was driving for NO REASON AT ALL. Stupid thing. Never did get that fixed : ).
