When in high school a neighbor had the sickest car made,a 59 Ford Fairlane
4 dr 292.
It wouldnt spin the tires no matter what we tried.
One night at the local cruise in spot we turned a corner going about 10 MPH and
a couple of us stuck our heads out the window and made tire screeching noises.
About 100 ft past the corner a cop pulled us over for squealing the tires.
We were so shocked we mocked the cop,actually laid on the ground laughing so hard,opened the hood to the car and said"Ole Betsy we didnt know you could do it."
All this infuriated the cop,especially when we asked him to show us the tire marks.
The drivers dad was a deputy but this was a city cop so he couldnt help.
Driver was refusing to sign the ticket saying he wasnt guilty,so one of us went to a payphone and called his dad to explain the whole thing and ask if he really could go to jail if he didnt sign ticket. His dad told us to sign the ticket and pay the fine,it was the officers word against 6 teenagers and we would lose in court. Thats total BS.
