[DeTomaso] Fwd: Jackie Stewart story

[Joe Stockett]

Great story,
That happened to me but thank God I was driving 5 miles per hr in my
neighborhood. The entire cabin instantly filled up with white steam and
visibility was zero. I had to limp back home with my head hanging out of
the driver window. My neighbors thought the car was on fire and came
running over. I'm lucky my girlfriend was not in the passenger seat because
that's the direction the steam canon was pointing, her feet would have had
2nd degree burns and would instantly been an ex-girlfriend.

   Great story,A
   That happened to me but thank God I was driving 5 miles per hr in my
   neighborhood. The entire cabin instantly filled up with white steam and
   visibility was zero. I had to limp back home with my head hanging out
   of the driver window. My neighbors thought the car was on fire and came
   running over. I'm lucky my girlfriend was not in the passenger seat
   because that's the direction the steam canon was pointing, her feet
   would have had 2nd degree burns and would instantly been an
   ex-girlfriend.A
