text: tell me any story!  the best one will win!? fact or fiction doesn't matter. fact.  in 1993 i was driving a clunker of a ford fairmont, stopped to get gas, and the car failed to start. the mechanic on site offered to jump-start rhe car by way of the solonoid, and the car took off in reverse straight into traffic. three guys ran after the car, one got trapped between the open car door and a light post, but they managed to stop the car and pull it back into the station. one of the guys said, "don't kill the engine", the guy who drove it back up got out and closed the door, and it took off again only to be stopped by a brand new pick-up truck that still had the dealer's tags on it. the police came out, but couldn't find a law on the books to issue a citation, because nobody was driving the car either time.
