Slant six in a Miata ? Why ???
I've had a cop tell me this "son, you're driving a bright orange duster, if you act out we will know"
Mine was a Panther-Pink 70 Swinger340. lol.
The cops would pull me over and tell me all the things they could charge me with, even tho I hadn't done any of those things in the past 24 hours, lol.
My Mum even got calls from the cops saying my car had been spotted doing such and such, where the heck could the find me...... while, in fact, I had been outta town for at least 10 days; what a riot.
I often played the "Sir,yes sir" routine and in the 5 years I drove that car, only got two tickets; one for speeding, and the other, for imprudent driving. I couldn't bs my way outta that imprudent, cuz he was right behind me when the alleged event occurred. lol. As for the speeding, Why the heck was he doing 55 in a 65? Oh I know, baiting that Pink Flamingo car I was driving... I guess you know that if you downshift and floor a 340Dart at 55, it will be doing 85 when you pass the driver's door of the car you are overtaking? I didn't,lol.
Yeah buying a car that color was a mistake. I bought it after dark, and it was parked under a mercury-vapor street light, which made it look Purple. Next day when I brought the rest of the money, with the sun blazing down on it, it was no longer Purple. I was 17, so that was a minor glitch....
but Boy if I only had that car today....
