- February, 1996 -> Hit ice patch, car goes into ditch, but comes right back out. No damage to car, CD Player does not skip.

- April, 1996 -> Grease Lightning rear ended by idiot in high school parking lot. Bumper falls off.

- March, 1997 -> Grease Lightning clocked at 79 in a 55 by a state policeman. Only ticketed for 10 even though it is argued that Grease Lightning was capeable of traveling at a much higher velocity.

- June, 1997 -> Grease Lightning barely survives White Water Rafting Trip. After submerging into an enourmous pothole on I-94, Grease Lightning suffered the following damage: (1) flat tire, (1) bent rim, (2) missing hubcaps, and (3) wet passangers due to pouring rain. Once again, the CD Player did not skip.

Here is the resulting CB conversation: *car hits pothole*
Mike (car 2): "Houston...we have a problem..."
Rob (car 1): "What's wrong?"
Mike (car 2): "Well, my (CB) antenna is dangling by its cord, I lost a...make that 2 hubcaps...and uh-oh..."
Don (car 5): "What happened?"
Mike (car 2): "I think I have a flat tire. We're pulling over."
*car 2 pulls over, exits vehicle and checks Grease Lightning*
Jason (car 2): "Yeah, we got a flat tire, some bent rimmage, some missing hubcaps..."
Rob (car 1): "How long's it going to be?"
Jason (car 2): "Don't worry! We're all FINE here, Rob!!!"
Bryan (car 2): Rambles on for about 5 minutes while the rest of us start changing the tire...
Mike (car 2): "Once again, the views and opinions expressed by Bryan are not necessarily those shared by car number 2."
Don (car 5): "We'll stay and help, the rest of you go on..."
*Tire gets repaired.*
