funny related story.......
my brother was working the second shift one night, getting off at 1am, and the usual way home was to hop on the interstate.
one night, for some reason [lost in time and memory], the one lane was closed, and there was orange cones placed in the center of the two lanes for quite a distance.
he figured since there was no traffic, he would try to see how his 72 satellite sebring plus roadrunner wannabe would do in a "slalom course".
having a blast, he didn't notice a trooper sitting in a "turn around" observing him intently, due to his headlights weaving back and forth at a high speed.
needless to say, he got pulled over, and the first thing the trooper said to him was : "Who do ya think you are ? Parnelli Jones ?"................
my brother responded : "Since there was no traffic, I just wanted to see how my car would react in an emergency situation.".............
the trooper wasn't impressed, and little bro got a ticket. and for good measure, the trooper made him remove the "waving hand suction cup" gizmo he had on his windshield beside the mirror that said : "Have a NICE day !"...........
