OMG, you just bought back some really great memories! Also one really bad one.
Washing the engine in my 56 Chevy Hot Rod. Got water in the oil and wiped out one the crank bearings. That really sucked. Tender age of 24,. Then I sold the car (stupid move), bought a house and got married. Well, the house was an OK move I suppose!
