Your story about the old lady getting a ticket recalls my experience when
I first acquired my '57 T-Bird back in 1972 (pre- "American Graffitti" movie
days. I initially didn't realize how much power was under the hood, and I
am driving to work on the Garden State Parkway when I hear a loud voice
behind me on a PA system. I looked in the rear view mirror and I see a NJ
State Trooper. Reflexsively, I look at my speedometer and I am traveling
at 75 mph. I brake to slow down, roll down the window to hear the Trooper.
He is asking me if I want to sell my car. I nod my head to signify....No.
He responds "I don't blame you, waves with a smile, and takes off.

I guess if I was driving my Ford Maverick that day, doing 75, I am sure I
would have received a ticket.
