Idk... my dad was test driving a Saleen a bit fast and got pulled over. The cop walked up and just said, "Test drive?" Pops said "Yeah," cop goes "follow me."

Took us to this winding road and the two of them bombed it at around a hundred, cop had his lights on the whole time. As a kid, I thought it was pretty cool. Now I think all the adults involved were reckless jackasses, lol.

Still, those are good memories.

For sure, just one of those moments that you look back and realize how goddamn reckless it all was. It was probably the only time in my life I ever felt sorry for a car salesman. He was new and sweating bullets. The car computer would adjust to the driving to output more power, and he was worried his boss would notice.
