      Idk… my dad was test driving a Saleen a bit fast and got pulled over. The cop walked up and just said, “Test drive?” Pops said “Yeah,” cop goes “follow me.”

      Took us to this winding road and the two of them bombed it at around a hundred, cop had his lights on the whole time. As a kid, I thought it was pretty cool. Now I think all the adults involved were reckless jackasses, lol.

          For sure, just one of those moments that you look back and realize how goddamn reckless it all was. It was probably the only time in my life I ever felt sorry for a car salesman. He was new and sweating bullets. The car computer would adjust to the driving to output more power, and he was worried his boss would notice.

        I think being white in a small town is probably enough

      It’s like when you’re playing Test Drive and you let the cop get ahead of you so that they can act as an autopilot to the next checkpoint.
