Well, I'm happy to say that I've never had anyone close get it like that. 
Although I did have a friend who should have.  He'd borrow my trailer every 
once in a while when the clutch in his 71 LT1 Corvette would blow. Pieces of 
disk sticking through the floor type of blow.  He deserved a Corvette like 
that, just like everyone else deserves to have piles.
