Re: First muscle car,year bought
My first muscle car was a 1970 RS Z-28 Camaro (hugger orange w/white stripes) that I still own after 21 years. I had earned money from a paper route and and flipping burgers at McD's to buy this dream car when I was in highschool.
Within 2 days of owning the car I was still learning to use the stiff clutch and unintentionally barked the tires pulling away from a light. (I was previously driving a VW beetle stick) I was pulled over by the boys in blue and given a reckless driving ticket.
Because I was under 18, my father had to accompany me to court. The officer greatly exaggerated what happenned. The judge asked the officer if I burned out in a straight line. The cop said I did and the judge dismissed the charge as he concluded I was in control of the car. He then lectured me about wasting my money on new tires.
Have never been that lucky in traffic court since.
