Hey Chris - your story of the blown 56 "push car" sounds like something I did (equally unwise) years ago. Like you I also found myself alongside of interstate 5 in california (out of petrol) with no way to the next gas station except the car in the trailer on back. This one happened to be an older "formula A" race car - (open wheel precursor to the formual 5000 cars back in the late 60"s early 70's). Since it is a single seater, I got my buddy to sit on the side pod, holding the gas can, while I went merrily down the freeway (at wayyyy to fast for his safety) to the gas station. All went well, but that certainly was an opportunity for serious problems! As luck would have it, the local Highway Patrol officer pulled up to the disabled truck after we had returned and were filling up the truck. He wondered why we had unloaded the race car, but luckilly did not follow through on his questions or why the engine was so hot !!!
