The day that I got a 289 street car, I was showing my girlfriend how much easier it is to drive than a 427 Comp Car

I told her to drive it around the block to see for herself.
She gave it 3/4 throttle pulling out on a 3 lane road and proceeded to do a 180 heading for the stone wall running along the street.
I'm still not sure how she didn't drive through the wall

The best part was that I didn't have insurance on it yet

I told her that was good enough and that we could just leave it in the garage for a very long time. Lol

When we got home, she said that the wheels looked like they came off of a Model A Ford, that is why she got sideways

She said that it was safer driving the 427 because the wheels are 10x wider
