Like the time I "out thought" and "out drove" that state trooper. I was 16 (1968) . Ran up behind him late one night. Both of us turned around, me to run, him to catch. Hooked a hard left onto a country road I knew was straight for a couple of miles. Clear moonlit road, shut my lights off and was gone in the dust cloud I left behind. Took the back roads into town. Parked my car behind a grocery store and jumped into my friends car that was parked in the lot out front. Rode around until midnight and thought about how smart I was. Picked up my car and headed home.
Rounded the corner, pulled into the driveway behind the house and.............there sat the trooper car. He and my dad were having a late night cup of coffee in the kitchen. BUSTED!
He said that he never got close enough to get my license number, but, that wasn't really necessary. After all, it was the only red convertible in town!

Dad took my license for 6 weeks and the state got $146.00 of my money.

Lesson learned.
