Confession Time. Spill it!

When I was in high school, I had a 1969 Plymouth Road Runner. I had heard that a particular car wash was faulty, and if you hit the money box hard enough it would pop open. (car washes were only 50 cents back then).

Anyway, one Friday evening I stopped inside the wash bay and hit the box that you deposited the quarters into It did indeed swing open. Unfortunately, the jack-ass that told me about it failed to say an extremely LOUD honking noise would sound off. I grabbed all the quarters it had and hopped into my car and hauled ass. When I finally got far enough away I counted up my "haul". Something like seven dollars, lol.

That was 38 years ago. To this day I feel terrible about that incident. I just wish I would have gone back later and returned the money to the owner. :crying: Shortly there after I joined the Navy.

Anyone else got a confession that they would like to get off their chest?

I don't know if all this is true or to what degree. When I was in high school I dropped a lot of acid. I kinda persuaded a friend of mine to try it, which he did. Fast forward a couple years past HS, and I heard he was a junkie, constantly tripping in his shitty apt., somewhere around Jefferson Ave, St. Louis (the worst neighborhood in St. Louis). Without going on with half-remembered details, I have always felt shitty about my complicity in this.

I also wounded a rabbit with a BB gun once. He got underground before I could react at all, but I nailed him pretty hard on the hindquarter and he had a painful future coming up. 12 or 13 years old, and I still feel bad about it. "World-Class Schmuck" is a term I use to describe myself on this one.
 
I shot a man in Reno.. just to watch him die.
 

Shifty

O.G.
When my mother was an intern she use to work late through the night, sleep through the day. So the only time we ever got to talk about anything was when she'd get home. So what I used to do, I used to lie in my bed and try to stay awake as long as I could. But it never worked. The harder I tried, the faster I'd fall asleep.

Funny thing is sometimes she'd come home early. I'd pretend to be asleep. She'd stand in the doorway looking at me, and I'd keep my eyes shut. And I knew she just wanted to find out about my day. So she came home early, just to talk to me. I still wouldn't move I'd still pretend to just be asleep.

I don't know why I did that.

Apart from that quote, those episodes were crap.
 
Last night -- @the 7-11 getting gas...went in and told the kid "$10 on pump #3"...gave him the cash, returned to car.
Now USUALLY what happens is the guy inside sets the pump for pre-payment, thus it stops at whatever you paid him.
This kid didn't do that.
I was just holding the nozzle down, not paying attention, expecting it to click off...but it didn't and I was already way past the $10 mark...
So I just kept right on pumping...$30 later...
Waited around...got the squeegee thingy and washed ALL my windows and lights and mirrors.
I was probably loitering around the pump for close to 10 minutes and the kid never did anything.
So...I left.

lol... you're forgiven. The gasoline 7/11 uses comes from that Hugo Chaves jagoff.

In a bell tower, watching you through cross hairs.
I don't know nuthin, I didn't hear nuthin' I didn't see nuthin'....and I ain't talkin'.

An indictment, isn't a conviction, and you gotta make 12 people think I'm guilty...I only have to make 1 think I'm innocent.
 
I confess I want to know if the Road Runner was a 383 or a 440...and if it was a 4-speed.

It was a 383 with an automatic. I was the second owner. Got it from the Plymouth dealer who took it in on trade for a more "family style" car. I shudder to think what that baby would be worth today had I hung onto it. The color was a light cream, with a slight yellow to it.

One funny thing about that car. The guy before me didn't smoke. When I pushed in the cigarette lighter, it ejected like it was supposed to, except it shot all the way to the back seat.

no, the kid has to take it out his check. So, Hugo still got paid. And thats with all gas runs in general. I use to work at a Exxon while in college back in the late '90s. In that first week I succumb to 6 gas runs, and when I got my check, they deducted. I quit after that Bullshit :mad:

I broke this kids nose in a fight and whipped him pretty bad in 9th grade, he died in a car accident a few years later, I know its not my fault he died, but I feel guilty about beating him since he died, wish I could take it back :(
