My childhood friends wonder how much a safe drivers endorsement
costs in Fl.

Had a 69 Charger with the 150 mph speedometer and yes you can bury the needle ! Scary part was trying to stop with the 10” MANUAL drum brakes! Had to let up and let them cool off thank God there was practically no one on alligator alley at 3 am back then . Funny how much narrower it gets? Thankfully new cars have brakes that better match the car

Sorry couldn't resist all the fast car talk My Corvette ownership covered a "61, '65 and '68 for a total of 34 years. We were not rich but Dad thought kids who got into trouble had too much time on their hands. Therefore he would finance them and I worked food stores or construction to cover the payments. My favorite was the '65 fastback with a 365 HP 327 with solid lifters and Muncie 4 speed. With a 6500 rpm redline you could downshift into 3rd at about 75 mph and shift back at about 100. A sweet machine.

I got a ticket in the mail for 40 points in my youth.
First charge was attempting to elude.

Why the mail?

Lol sold the Charger to a buddy of mine . He was driving and learning the car when we ran into a guy with a GTO that wanted to race .Ok I’ll tell you when to shift 3:23 gears so 1-2@70 mph 2-3@118mph then hang on till the needle stops! Any way we had the GTO easy going East on Sunrise Blvd hit the Turnpike overpass and shifted to 3rd (727 B&m automatic) at 118 and saw the red lights and kept going! Cop stoped the Goat . Days later my buddy run into the goat owner and asks he about the cop— cop asked who owned the Charger —I don’t know. Why didn’t you stop him—- hell buddy he hit 3rd at 118 and was still climing when he went over the bridge .told the goat owner he could catch him but dint have a chance catching up with the Charger! Miss that ride
