Back in the stone ages when I was in High School my buddy had some monster engine in a GTO. The car belonged to my buddies big brother who was away in Viet Nam. Big brother told him to not get the engine above 2,500 RPM and my buddy flat would no get it above 2,000 RPM. This was the era of 20 cents per gallon gas at the full service pump. He worshiped his big brother and was never going to hurt his brother's car.
Anyway one day we are just creeping along like he always did and a cop pulled us over. Just two teenagers driving a hot car had to be up to trouble. The cop was inspecting all the paperwork and driver's license and tag and just looking for something to write a ticket on. My buddy was sweating bullets because he knew his dad would kill him if he got a ticket. The cop got a call for "all units respond" and he threw the paperwork and my buddy and said this is your lucky day.
After that we drove around in my very not cool, 1960 VW bug. It was too slow to get a ticket. Cops ignored me.
