I do recall some misspent youth.

Schenectady NY used to be a bustling city in the late '60's and many an evening was spent doing the State St run. Inasmuch as I wasn't the only one with a devious need to exercise the back two barrels of a high performance car, met with up with my buddy Len at the traffic light in the very middle of the shopping district at about 10:00PM. Of course, one revved motor led to another then the green light came on. Now, picture a '67 Fairlane 390GT (his) and a '68 Torino 390 GT (mine) neither stock plus both with glasspacks, high buildings on each side of the street to concentrate the sound. Engines roared, tires smoked........a siren wailed ....oh c@#p, it's the county sheriff (the big guy himself) across the street, but hidden from sight behind another car. I went left, my buddy Len went right and so did the sheriff. Len got a written warning (knew the sheriff), me, I had to stay out of town for several weeks - by a special request of the sheriff to Len that my azz could become grass if seen.

Lots more good times back then. Schenectady NY has shrunk from 100K population to maybe 60K and become a slum town and a way point for drugs and other criminal activities since GE has moved most of their operations and 35,000 people out and American Locomotive went out of business
