Long story short, I was in the back seat of a 1970 Nova, souped up race car, early 80's. The driver floored it showing off for us probably got up to 80-90? Right front tire blew, we were all over the road and in the ditch. Hit a tree head on and the engine was in the front seat.
I have the scars and broken fingers to prove it. Four of us in there and we all came out with fairly minor injuries. We were very lucky.
