I was moving my 66 over to the side of the driveway where the Ram sits. I was using homemade wheel dollies (no drivetrain), and up until that time they worked great. Wheel broke on one, and car fell off them. When it fell, the front wheel got dislodged from the block I had, and it started rolling down the hill. Luckily the front wheel was dangly bits, so the car made a beeline for the wall and smacked into it. Pushed the blocks back about half inch, and wrinkled the taillight housing.
Now when I move a car without power, that Toyota sits at the bottom of the driveway to keep whatever may get loose in the driveway.
I love Mopars so much I'm date coding the skid marks in my underwear.
I un-buried my '66 Hardtop moved it over to the other side of the garage. Put it up on jackstands and swapped out the torsion bars for some .865 6-cylinder bars. Gettin' ready for MATS in two weeks - hope to improve my 60ft times and hang the tires 12-18 inches!

All down onto a busy high way...
When I was 3yrs old, my cousin had her car parked where the 'Net is now. Apparently I was playing on the yard above it, and whatever I had went into the open window. So I got in the car and started playing with all the buttons and knobs I found. My mother and cousin hear a loud bang, and look out and found the car gone. Apparently I took it out of gear (this was before steering column locks) and it rolled down the driveway, across the street into my neighbors yard,, over a 3 ft wall and finally into a tree on the other side of the road. If the car had veered about 10 ft in the other direction, it would have gone off a 10-15 foot embankment and into someones house. Story I've heard is when the neigbhors got to the car, they found me holding on to the wheel going "WEEEE!!!!"
Funniest part of the story is police showed up and filled out a report. 3-4 months later a letter from motor vehicles shows up addressed to me. It stated that because I was the driver in an accident and could not provide a drivers license, my license was being suspended for 6 months. My father said if the state was going to be that stupid, I could be that stupid. He had me scribble my name and age on the form and he sent it back.
