General Lee vs. Bandit Trans Am

My wife, MommaCat, had a chance to buy a Bandit Edition TA back in the late 80s. Her and her mom went to look at it, and my mother-in-law, being no slouch around cars (raised with older brothers) bent down and stuck her finger in the tail pipe. Her finger came back coated in oil. The car needed a ring job at least. She didn't want to fork out 4K for the car, plus however much it would take to fix the engine issue. They are both, to this day, kicking themselves in the behind for not snatching the car up anyway. Oh, well. Live and learn, right?
