That's funny!
 
You could have done what we used to do. Drive down the street and turn off the ignition. Wait awhile and switch it back on. That would have blown him out too but it may have blown your muffler at the same time.
 
A buddy had a Camry that wouldn't start one morning. he found the intake system and air cleaner jammmed with dry dog food some rat had squirrled away!

is my personal whipping boy
 
Yeah, about that ... it doesn't make a good impression with noobs and lurkers so let's dispense with the whip and be more respectful of others.

I thought the car had backfired but it shot a rodent out of the exhaust system.
 
To bad you can't do that when you have a tailgater. Thanks for the chuckle.

We used to pull up to crowded bus stops and do that. On the right kind of a car, it would make an M-80 sound like a cap pistol. People would scream, run, get on the ground and hug each other. Going through a tunnel was even better!
 
Looking back, this wasn't a nice thing to do. We could have given someone a heart attack.
 
The fun stopped when fuel injection replaced carburators.

I am not sure what the various documents meant without seeing them to know what the woman committed to but I though it was interesting that the car was actually towed to her house.
 
I wonder if she was charged for the towing bill?
 
This local story reminded me of a Chevy dealership in town that had microphones located at the salesman's desks to listen to the buyers when the salesman left to discuss the deal with the manager. That dealership is out of business now.
