The local cobra builder known to several of the people on here used to have his shop just across the freeway from my house. I spent a lot of time helping him with small stuff or signing for deliveries when he wasn't there. One day he had a running chassis and it had no seats or body but he decided he was going to try it out. About 3/4ths of a mile from his shop the road had a couple of small S turns in it and is flat as it can be. He was going to fast when he got to them and when he stepped on the brakes only one wheel worked. It locked up and of course with no seat belt and sitting on a box he had placed there to sit on, the chassis took off into the brush. He came back driving about 5 MPH and shaking so bad he left the car outside for fear he may hit the door trying to get it in. So we went and pushed it inside and the box was quickly removed but I noticed it has some strange stains on it. This is a true story.
