Talking Interesting night!

Today i was going to put the throttle body bypass i my z28. well that didnt start off well. my coupler was to short and a hard plastic line that comes out of my fuel lines to a vacuum type sensor broke. so i stopped what i was doing and went to the auto zone to get some vacuum hose. well went back to the shop cause my dad was cooking hambugers for my bday that was last friday.slipped the hose on the broke plastic line and it fit great.after we ate and i open my gifts. i hop in my car and leave. i did a healthy burn out to show off for my dad. i passed my wife and set the cruise on 60. i was nice and running smooth. i got to miles into the way home. the car back fired, then straight up died. so i pulled over to the liquor store.

The wife pulled up and said what happen that scared me. i said **** i dunno.I tried to start it again.After couple of tries. it started. so i tried to make it home. i got about 500 ft away from my road and it back fired so bad i felt it in the seat. my wife said it shot flames and sparks under my car.i called my dad to come get me. so after a couple more times of that. i finally got it home. i unloaded my gifts from the car and my dad shows up. then a cop pulls up behind him with his lights on in front of the house, the cops said that some one called in and shot some guns towards the apartments and ran. and pointed out my dads truck and said it was invovled 5 mins after i got my car home lol. i explained to the the cop what happend, he just laughed and left. i cracked up. :lmao:
