Four OFF the Ground?

[David Head]

Reminds me of an old story in Hot Rod from the mid seventies. They were
building a hot Hemi 'cuda as a project. The monthly progress articles
just stopped, and finally someone wrote in asking what the scoop was. It
seems during some aggressive testing in an industrial area the throttle
cable stuck wide open. No problem - switch off the ignition...
Whoops! Steering wheel locked! In the meantime the resulting collision
wiped out 4 Ferraris the had just been unloaded and parked. As you can
well imagine Peterson Publications lost interest in completing said
project...
