Similar experience back in 1980. 2 am, 3 cars giong home from cruising Hollywood. Exit Pasadena fwy at ave 52 and just sit at this light for ever, no cars coming eitherway, I was the front car{71 124 spider , 2 liter carbs * headers}.Just to my left, no more then 15 feet away sat a cop in his cruiser, never saw him.I smoke the tires, turn right pull a quick u turn smoke the tires again in 2nd, turn right again, smoke the tires and start going thru the gears.That cop was all over me and my friends just laughed as they drove by.The cop then began to tell me he knew what it was like to be a young man trying to impress a young girl, I began to laugh. But officer this is my sister. His response, Yeah what ever, and Hey dont I know you? No , I responded, I was just staring at him trying to place him for my own advantage. Then I remembered he was at my house yesterday because my brothers 64 bug got stolen. We laughed and he just said be careful and have a good nite. Lucked out again.
