A couple of years ago, I was involved in a car chase in the urban area when I work. I chased this guy for about 15 minutes at speeds up to 100 mph. Finally, I got the guy to stop. With gun drawn, I approach the driver's side door screaming for this guy to put his hands out the window and then get out of the car. I get this guy on the ground, cuffed and then pick him up and 'place' him against the car. I finally get my adrenaline rush calmed a little and asked the guy, "why didn't you stop?". He answers with a straight face "about a week ago, my wife ran off with a cop". I said "so what". He continued his answer with this "I was afraid you were bringing her back".
If this guy didn't run from me and it was something less dangerous, I would have let me go. It was the best and funniest excuse I have ever had.
THIS IS VERY INTERESTING :

It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink.

This is bizarre. Who would do such horrid things to an early 70’s Camaro? Perhaps a ‘73, what do you think?
Weird and ugly. I’ll guess it’s a 75 or 76 Camaro. Lets check.
The front end is similar to this '76 model Camaro.
It looks like it had to be raised at least 6-8 inches to make way for the skirts and other custom parts.
Hard to tell the differences between 75-81 asd they are minor cosmetic differences.
