Had my restored 63 1/2 R code Galaxie out for a drive on a spring afternoon a few years ago and as I turned off the main drag onto a sparsely populated residential street ( where most people go 45 to 50 ) , I was in 1st gera and a gremlin made my foot go all the way to the floor and then grab 2nd at about 6700 rpm ... tires spinning , twin 4 barrels sucking air and the Walker Race Magnums working on the exhaust . I brought it down to 35 as I came to the houses .. and looked up to see a Deputy coming up behind me fast . He tucked in on my bumper and followed me for about half mile and then pulled me . Said he could hear me two blocks away ... asked for my license etc , looked at me and said " aren`t you too old for this sort of thing ? " I almost said give me a damn ticket ... but kept my mouth shut . He then said he was a car guy and don`t do this again or I was dead meat . My answer was ... thank you officer !
