I frickin’ love !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . The QOTD had me track down an old slot car track from my grandmother and now I’m spiraling out of control down nostalgia lane.
My grandfather had a little remote controlled car that he brought out when I visited. It was a black Havoline liveried NASCAR r/c version of this:
We would walk along the beach to a pier before dinner and he’d let me drive circles in the empty parking lot until the batteries ran out. I loved that thing so much that when it broke, I took it home and tried to fix it. I took it apart and glued pieces and made it work again. Then the controller broke. I tried to fix it but couldn’t...so I shelfed it. I can’t throw it out and it is still in my family’s basement on the shelf.
I mentioned it to him once a few months ago and he had to think hard on it before saying, “I can’t believe you remember that.”
Onions and dust in this office...DOESN’T ANYONE CLEAN?!?!?!

That #28 car is cursed. Davey Allison died because of it, and Ernie Irvan almost died too.

How did he get the helicopter. By Winning races in the 28 car. I didn't say he died in the car. Just that the #28 Havoline Ford is cursed.

NASCAR Hall of Famer Ricky Rudd disagrees.
