Woodward Dream Cruise '04....
We are sitting in the cruise traffic, I have an orange Mustang behind me. Of course, the crowd is doing their usualy cheers of "rev it up!" and "burn 'em out!!!!"
So this older guy says directly to me, "give me a little rubber."
"Naw, that's alright."
"Oh come on! Otherwise, we're going to have to get that Mustang to show you how it's done. I ain't asking for much, just a little hole shot."
...I did a quick cop check... and let 'em rip for a quick second.
The same guys then taunted the Mustang guy into doing the same.
...............................
I see two patrol officers walking my way. Oh, S****!!!!
"How's it going there? You like lightin' up them tires? ........ now that we're here would you say it was worth it?"
"No sir."
"I need to see your license, registration, and proof of insurance."
"Yes sir."
"How is your driving record?"
"It's completely flawless sir."
"Ever had your car impounded before?"
"No sir."
"So this will be a first?"
"I sure hope not, sir."
"Ever have a reckless driving ticket before?"
"No sir."
"See... there is a problem with you doing what you just did. All of a sudden one of those tires grips and sends you over the curb and into the crowd and you kill people. You think I am mad now, that would REALLY chap my ass!"
His face --->
My face --->
"I understand, of course. And I won't let that happen again."
"No, you won't. And here's why........ first of all...... what year is this car?"
"02"
"You are going to pull over to the left two lanes........."
............
"...the right two lanes are for classic cars only."
"Yes sir."
And I was off...
