Wrecked in my own driveway

Stuck throttle stuck on a dry hop test.I had no return spring on the carbs as I do any other time.

That is my hitch from my truck that was parked there

Oh $#!+

You need a longer driveway for those kind of shenanigans

main thing is, you are ok, right ? [other than needing a change of underpants]
the car can be fixed.
do you have a cable or solid rod for throttle control ?
sorry to see extra work now needed after you have worked so hard !

Yikes !

I am fine,I had 35ft to stop with the front brakes locked.I have a lokar cable.the rear fender is the only bad part folding up from the hitch,The other stuff will push out from the fence post.My own fault I was going to move the truck in the drive.

[quote=bigdad]Yikes !

Today I was topping off the trans fluid after fixing a trans line leak.The smoke in the video is from fresh painted headers that you posted.

Some minor bends,dents

Crap!! Sorry to see that. Another sad lesson learned the hard way. Looks like the damage isn't awful bad. How's the front end look?

I got Very lucky on the front

Dang. Glad it's not real bad

Bummer.

Yeah, what he said.

Damn glad it wasn't worst. Similar stuff happened to a couple of my brothers. Both times it took out part of my dads garage.

Scary [censored] there, I've had a motor mount break and lock the throttle @ WFO, and it wasn't a blown motor. Sucks to damage your toy, but it doesn't look too bad. The little things can really mess you up. Best of luck getting it fixed up

Thank for the well wishes!I am going to pull the valve covers and check the rockers with it being on the 7k chip for 4 seconds.I have good push rods and HS rockers and will check the rocker studs also.The rear qtr is going to need replaced but I have all Winter to think about that.I will put the return spring on .
Thanks again!

dentless paint remover will take that out for $150.00.thats not too too bad.

You sounded a little winded.

Dang.
just Dang.
I can just about guess when the S.O.B. 'ing started.
Glad it wasn't worse.

I have asthma and had to climb over the down fence to get to the driver side to see how stuck I was.I climbed out the passenger door also

B#gger

Man that stinks. So sorry to see that happen to you and I’m glad you are ok.

Sorry to see that..

So sorry to see that. Like they say, luckily you are not hurt. But, i know it hurts you. Sorry

Sorry to hear about this. Sad to see your car damaged, but good to see your ok.

Sad to see that happen to anyone, glad it wasn’t worse and that you are ok.

Not hard to fix but is a bummer to the pride... yep put the spring back on... my buddy did the
same thing but a tree got in the way scared the heck out of him

Ohhhh man!! Huge OH S##T!!! moment. Certainly glad it wasn’t worse.

OMG. Makes me sick just looking at that.

Cars can be fixed, important thing is nobody got hurt.

Time to fix the fence.I have a dog[Cane Corso and she needs to run in the back.I talked to the neighbor and IMO the damage may be up to 3k$ with the hvac unit and sun room wall I pushed in 3" but it is just metal frame with cheep panels but idk if parts are around for it it is older[20+yrs]Thanks again,ttyl

Turn it in to your homeowners insurance. I hit my own garage door and they covered a new one. Never know it may be worth a try --

Thanks I will give that a try.

did you video,the actual part where the car was pushing thru the brakes and crashing in to the fence? please keep that return spring on when starting and running the car.

The spring is back on the car.No I did not record the crash because I had recorded several other videos and felt I shared enough.IDK if I want to relive the crash watching it on video again and again.I am sick just thinking of it.I can still run the car like it is all though not pretty I will get to it.

This is just an update so you can see what you could be dealing with having no insurance.Fixing my neighbors house is costing upwards of 7K$ with sunroom parts no longer being made so I am looking at custom fabrication and a problematic neighbor so this is going to drag out.

Ouch...

On a good note I will be ready with the car in the spring to tune at the track after I get some slicks.I did order a patch for the rear qtr bentup .-R&c[0]=AT0DW1E9ew6x2oBWV4eXiBd...4EFjO8VVMO8I_uMZCkb6xneEFls8UY]qtr patch

Sorry to see that OP.
2020 was a total crap sandwich for a lot of people, looks like you got your fair share.
Sending positive vibes your way.
