My step-son came back from US Marine training a couple of weeks ago. During his absence, he let his musclecar registration and insurance lapse. The urge to drive it after returning was too great. He took the tags off of my wife's car and went for a drive.

In a parking lot, in front of a couple of his friends, he did a smokey burnout, to his chagrin, right in front of a policeman. Of course, the policeman flicked on his lights and came over. He asked my stepson for license and registration. My step-son gave him the license but told him that the car wasn't registered and was honest that he had taken the plates off of his mom's car. The policeman ran his license and after coming back clean he said "I had a car like that once....get that thing home and park it". I thought that was cool of him too.
