    That's funny I still think of it as Pacific State hospital. Used to ride my bicycle through there to avoid part of the hill going to Cal Poly.

    My car started when i first looked at it. then the rust started to mix with the gas and that was it. had to drop the tank and clean it out. fixed the breaks and changed the wheels, then found out that the suspension was gone, bottomed out and tore up the rubber on the tires.

    Mine fell out of park at a gas pump, backed into the car behind me, i had left it running. One other time i was at the pump, car was off, and it rolled through the parking lot, side swiped a car in an intersection, across two more lanes of traffic, ran over a concrete park bench, into a used car lot. I put the shifter in the floor, the Ford warning sticker for that problem is still on the dash.
