Back in the stone ages when I was a teenager my best friend drove a 67 Chevelle with a warmed up 396. It actually belonged to his big brother, who was away in Vietnam slogging in the mud. He loved his big brother, and was told to take care of the car, and to drive it carefully as it is fast and loud under power and he will get tickets. I never did get him to floor it and show me the power. He wanted nothing more than to hand the keys back to his brother with the car in perfect shape, and just a few thousand more miles on it. That is better than just sitting.
Gas was 18 to 20 cents a gallon at the time. We would cruise around and we got pulled over almost every other time. Two teenage boys in a car like that brought a lot of police attention. Even more if we had girls in the car. We were both very respectful, relaxed, and made no fast movements. Yes sir and no sir, and we were off with just another inspection. We were smart enough to not have any beer with us.
We could drive the same places in my 1960 VW bug, and the police never ever pulled us over. Not once.
