What Is The Biggest Risk You've Ever Taken?

[HarveyWallbangers]

The riskiest part was driving across the country in a Gremlin!

Some people on this forum might not even know what a Gremlin is. Very underrated--like the DeLorean.

attempted suicide

Well, hard to respond. I'm glad it wasn't successful. Appreciate the good stuff. Realize that the bad stuff is only temporary.

Agree. Glad it wasn't successful. And true the bad stuff is only temporary (I have to believe that myself right now) AND getting through it makes you a stronger person! ...and more appreciative of life everyday.

It was in a movie right?

j/k...

Luckily, Disco, Bell Bottoms, and the Gremlin were before my time. Anybody older than 40 should feel deep shame for all 3 things.

Hey. That's a NICE looking one. Most of them were not that nice.

Trusting TT.

Harv, I had no control over those things. If I did, I would have eliminated these scourges from the planet.

Switched from briefs to boxers.

Geez Joe, my son switched over this year too and he wasn't scared! :P

Biggest risk? I ride my motorcycle down some pretty shady backwater roads with no guardrails and shear cliffs. I have rock climbed a few times. Riding in rush hour traffic on the I-10 out here. I almost crashed 3 times last night on my way home. But I think the biggest risk I took was moving out to Arizona away from all my family.

How's it all going out in AZ? You wild guys and your motorcycles! Someday i'll get one for myself. They seem like a lot of fun to motor around on.

I am planning on staying out here. Its a great area once you get out of Phoenix. I think if you rode a motorcycle you would see that its a totally different driving experience.

Harvey,

I'm over 40 but I take no responsiblility in the creation, manufacturing, or distribution of this car.

The Gremelin(made by American Motors--home of the Rambler) is an example that American made econonomy cars were piles of scrap during that era. The GMC Vega, the Ford Pinto, the Chrysler made Horizon were all economy cars with serious flaws.

American maufacturers just could not make the quality economy cars like the Honda, Toyota, or Datsun manufacturers could.

I have to admit, however, that my first car was the former family '65 Rambler Ambassador station wagon. It was actually a pretty good car, except during the winter when it would not start in weather colder than 20 degrees.(It had the luxury of being in the family garage during its heyday.)

I discovered during my senior year at Marquette University, that I was receiving half a dozen calls from coeds asking me to move them to new apartments, etc. They did not want me for my mind, charisma, or even my body. They wanted me for my station wagon!

Like a hopeful schmuch hoping to score, I helped them with the move. The most action I ever got was warmed-up frozen pizza.

I felt so violated...

Hey , mine was! I had an 'X' model.
The darn thing ran for 14 years!!!!! Would probably still be going, but the body rusted out and the doors fell off.
...............and there wasn't much room in the back for child seats.

Im guessing that is your "house" in the background?

The bottom line is you tried and for that I have nothing but admiration.

Which river in Maine, Woodbuck?

I did some canoeing on the Kennebec River which was placid. I did one trip on the Carabassette(sp?) which had some whitewater.

OPF

LOL!

GrnBay007,

I was only emotionally violated. I longed to be violated in another way!
