- I managed to hold up my 67 Chevy Caprice after it slipped off the
- jack while I was trying to change a tire on a steep hill in a
- blizzard. Long enough for a kid delivering Sunday newspapers to
- block the front tires with the Allentown Call Chronical.
-
- I'm still not sure I believe these stories though. I was just too
- scared to do anything except hold the car (alright, it wasn't
- really my car-- it was my fathers).
-
- I have a CD-ROM with a years worth of news (1990) from all the major
- newspapers. I was even able to search it and find the names of all
- the VP's (from a copy I used to work for) who dumped their stock
- just before filing Chapter 11. It's fairly comprehensive stuff. If
- someone can contribute some "key words" for the search, I'll look
- and see how many recorded instances of mothers lifting cars off of
- children I can find. Then we'll know. I'll report my findings.
