uninteded acceleration?

While growing up a buddy of mine had a Pontiac Tempest with a 6 pack. Glad I wasn't with him when this happened, he stuck all 6 barrels WFO, lost it around a corner and took out a whole row of mail boxes. He traded that car immediately after that for two very old El Caminos. One day he invited me to go junk yarding for parts for the El Caminos and we saw two very interesting things at Greenhill Auto Wrecking that day.....his Pontiac Tempest that had met a utility pole and lost and the stunt car from the parade scene for the filming of Animal House, still had the turret on the top of the car, wish I would have bought it for the nostalgia.
