Cop grabbed my tie and choked me to the point of nearly passing out (the seatbelt held me in the car) as several more cruisers arrived. Eventually they calmed down and apologized saying someone in a similar car had run over a MDC cop who had stopped a suspected stolen car a few minutes before.

   My “new” car is a ’06 Highlander with 80,000 miles on it. It will (most probably) go another 220,000 with no major problems. It cost (outright) less than the down payment on a new one.

    My father bought a ‘53 Caddy in 1955 for $75 when the cops made its owner take it off the road because of the smoke. (It was a simple fix: diaphragm in the vacuum booster was punctured. – Now, Anybody got a clue what I’m talking about?)
