Stock up on ammo..., and old Datsuns....

I have Datsuns. One time me and a few friends had a caravan of our 1960's era Datsun 2-seater roadsters coming back from a car show in San Diego back to San Francisco. My friend was quite proud of his roadster, which he races in vintage races at the track (we have 150hp engines on 2000 pound cars). He challenged me to a race on Hwy 101 in the California central valley. We accelerated up through all 5 gears until we were doing about 125 mph and then backed off to 90. (I handily beat him in all gears.) Another friend was closely following at 90. We all had CB radios and heard our friend say "oh crap!".

On our tail was a hwy patrol cruiser. As he pulled alongside we slowed to 70, but knew it was too late. He nodded his head to us, then jumped ahead and pulled over a regular sedan! Cool!

A black box in cars is going to take the fun out of driving.
