Just take the plates off and go find a cop...finger them...then drive off.
They are terrible drivers and can't catch anything but an 88 year old in a poor running 1983 oldsmobile.

My first car was a 68 Firebird with the factory rear spoiler, and factory hood mounted tach. Was a 350 4 speed.
Traded it even for a 69 SS 396 Chevelle. My cousin worked at a speed shop, I bought a monster cam, and he set the heads up for it. Exhaust was a set of headers, and those little short Thrush header mufflers that had the flange to mount to the headers. Had zero exhaust pipes. Had to swap out Holly's all the time. Had a 650 for daily driving, and a 780 dual line for street racing. Had 456 gears, I could make it from Cincinnati to Lexington KY on a tank of gas.
Had too many street bikes to count. I'd buy old Honda's and fix them up and ride them till they died, or I wanted something better. Couldn't afford my first Harley till my kids were in high school. Only owned 4 Harley's, Current one is a 14 Street Glide.

My first car was a 1970 Pontiac Catalina. My oldest brother swiped it when I was in basic training and took it to a demolition derby. That was 40 years ago. He still owes me $500...

First brand new car my folks bought was a special order 1966 Bonneville with a 421 three duces, and a 4 speed. It was bright red with a white convertible top.
I'm gonna have to dig around and see if I have any pics of it.
