Heh! No kidding. I remember once in that ornery ol' 'Bird, I decided to burn some rubber while leaving the gas pump (seemed like a good idea to my 17 year old brain). The throttle stuck open and all hell broke loose. The car started doing donuts not 10 feet away from the pump!!!
Caught completely off guard, I was flailing around trying to hang on when it finally stalled from centrifugal force starving the carb. The gas station/store manager was so pissed off I thought he would either have a stroke or $hit himself! The cop he called to haul me away ended up helping me fix the linkage and sent me on my way. My pals thought the whole thing was the best fun they'd had since the last bar fight! Good ol' days...
