back then i knew that feeling all to well, in the year prior to this, i had racked up 18 points in 8 or 9 months. why my lic was suspended in the first place. first year, if you hit 6 pts they they take it for a while being your a probational driver, then after that year, you can get up to 12 points, then they take it. for how ever many months/years.
so being i had 18 in that first year, i ate a bullet for sure. back to a 10 speed bike for the next 4 years. and i knew i was dope back in the day, so to make sure i didnt drive my car any more, i pulled the engine out of it. that will keep me from driving it for sure.
truth is, my brother was home, so i asked him to pull every bolt that held it in, then came home with a hoist to pull it out. dont know if i could have made myself pull the bolts out and start ripping a running engine out. but i knew it had to be done, i was such a moron back then, couldn't trust myself and i knew it.
he did a good job too, the only bolts left were the motor mounts and a ground strap that was hidden. it was swinging in 15 minutes or so after the hoist was hooked to the engine. lol
