IC2,
Oh that story sounds familiar. I was in stationed in Battle Creek, Mi. 64-67 the year was 1966 I had a 1965 GTO 389 4speed tri power, my buddy had a 67 Fairlane GT 390 both cars were screamers. One night after I closed the Standard gas station that I was able to work at part time while in the Army I got back to base and the word was my buddy was in jail. He was caught at a high rate of speed; we needed to come up with a couple hundred bucks to bail him out. We all pitched in we went to get him, bailed him out took him to get his car out of impound and on the way back to base I just had to pull a stupid stunt. The station I had closed up earlier was on one corner at a 4-way intersection the way I was going clearly said no left turn. The light was still red I said this is what my buddy should have done, I made an illegal left turn on red not knowing the police car was parked at the now closed station that I locked up. I had the little GTO going every which way but straight banging gears. Then for no apparent reason the red lights went on I continued to try to get in the gate thinking he would not come after me but I was wrong. I got out of the car and was on my way until I heard HALT. I went to the same station where my buddy was. I gave so many excuses they either felt sorry for me or thought I was crazy so they let me go with a careless driving ticket instead of a wreck less driving.

Loved those 60's
