My father had several cars I used to drive in the back hills. Fond memories of driving around a right hand drive 1934 Type 57 Bugatti with cable brakes. Perfected stick shift on a Mercedes 280SL. Also had a 1967 Ferrari 330GTC that I put many miles on long before I had a license. All these cars were not that expensive at the time - just neat toys. Got pulled over at 15 on my Dad's R90S with my 13 year old brother on the back, I had to push it home. Did not seem like a big deal at the time, I was just having fun to the red line. I was driving all the time.

Man, you were living the life. Long Beach used to have its share of exotics, but all I got to do was watch them go by. (Now, an "exoctic" in the LB is an Escalade with 22's.)

We borrowed the car.... and the house... for a few days of partying and what have you. Drove it all around town, everyone saw us. Everyone knew it was Jake's car.
When he got back and found out... well... we were no longer friends.  |
Sounds
almost like the basis for the movie "Risky Business."
