It has drum brakes.....he is dead meat!

It has those two rather large jet engines strapped to the sides and all he notices is the drum brakes.

You are probably too young to know, but back in my day when you hopped up an old car with drum brakes and went over 100 MPH and hit the brakes, you may as well just let off the gas and downshift........THEY DID NOT WORK, your engine did a better job slowing you down!
I had a 1955 Ford and they had vacuum windshield wiper motors...... when you give it gas they lose vacuum and stop.......when you go real fast and let off the gas pedal the vacuum when real high and one time my wipers went so fast a blade came flying off. Yes it was hopped up and would go over a 100 MPH.....I am lucky to be still alive because you KNOW it had drum brakes. Disc brakes were not put on cars till mid 60's and I got my driver liscense in 73, so you know I drove disc brake cars for several years.

Well you are right about my age being to young to know that the older drum brakes don't work (hey just like obongo). Although i already knew that disc brakes started being used in the early 1960's. I have never really liked drum brakes that much myself anyways i just thought that it was funny that the brakes were one of the first thing you noticed although your story kind of explains it. Good story though ACAMS.

Fieldcar? i am sorry but i have no idea what a fieldcar is. Do you mean a car that is sitting in a field or what?

somestrangeguy · « **Reply #66 on:** September 12, 2009, 04:57:50 PM »

I belive he means a car that you drive on unused farmyards. It is legal for to drive like that here if you dont have drivers license and I know he doesnt have one.

He could also be talking about a demolition derby car ....

And of course Acams would know about drum brakes. He even knows about foot brakes, like the ones on Fred Flintstone's Rockmobile ....

I was driving to the store to pick up stuff for my mom when I was younger than lra2.....wonder if he drives the family car to the store for his mom. When I was 7 or 8 I had access to all the guns in the house (except my dads Remington 742 30-06) and had my own .22 and could grab a gun and go hunting when ever I wanted! (except I found out real quick not to do it during school hours) Yep my dad was real perticular about his deer rifle, and as far as I know he is the only one to ever shoot it. He left me the gun when he passed and for that reason I have never shot it, it is just like he kept it. Anyway I grew up on a dairy farm/ranch and had to help with the cows and such so when I needed the truck or tractor I just went and got it. I was also plowing the fields with the tractor at 7 or 8 and was about 5 when I started driving the tractor.

I actually am planning on attending a University where I will study to be an automotive engineer.

...Much to ACAMS' dismay, I love JDM Bangers and hope to start my own motorsports corporation when I am out of college that specializes in engine swaps for USDM-JDM automobiles.

I'm fairly knowledgeable about mid 60s to mid 70s Pontiacs, primarily the Tempest/GTO line.
