friend of my dads his neighbor had a backyard corvair. never left the property. The guy would come home drunk and drive it all over all night long.

Dad had a new to him model 70 375 H&H over to the friends house.

dad shot the Corvair engine with the 375 H&H (neighbor was at work). Bullet went clear through engine about where all the connecting rods cross each other. No more drunken midnight corvair rides lol :-).
