Sitting first at the light on a side street, wanting to turn left. I see a beat up wreck on the other side, and decide to turn in front of him, if he is slow. Sure enough, the light changes, the old car just sits there, and I go!
New Camaro, with a V8, just traded in a 80's mustang with the 4 cylinder. 3 Days prior! The tires chirped, and i kept them spinning a little as I made the left turn. Surprised me a little, felt all macho. Until I looked in the rear view, and saw, now in plain sight, the far lane had a cruiser sitting in it! I was a block down the road, when the light changed, his lights went on! I pulled over and waited for him to catch up.
His first comment was "Thanks for waiting, hot rod!" I was sure I would get a ticket, but I showed him the paperwork with the trade in marked 4 cylinder Mustang, and explained I was not used to the car. He said it was his patrol area, and would keep an eye on me, and let me go with a warning.
