Default Re: Still trying to find my 1st car, Again!

Hi Frank, Thanks for the reply

The Sunoco station is now gone, but It was on Garden St. across the street from the Mt Holly Police department, and next to the Mt Holly Fire house. It was owned by Butch Shobert and Rich Titko, Sorry if I spelled the last names wrong.

Great guys though. Even after I ran a twin turbo corvette they were putting together. they had yet to figured how to mount the master cylinder due to the exhaust being in the way.

My job was to pump gas, tally up the money at closing time, and drive the Corvette into the end bay, very slowly and just not hit anything.

Well I was very careful, I slowly drove it in the bay, but the darn bay floor had a valley in it and it just went in and right up into that tool box. It broke the entire nose of the car.

Man did I hate to make that call to Butch. Needless to say I did get fired for it. But we remained friends for many years after that incident.
