Woops !! Did that one night when I was low on gas, giving out counties  
on  75 meters.....pulled under the canopy and a shower of glass  
accentuated by small explosions followed.

I just floored the old 69 Chevelle and made a speedy getaway... Almost  
ran out of gas by the time I found another station that was open.
