. . .and, like a dummy, let my last 240Z go when I clearly could have put it aside . . .just because of a little rust on the frame. A few years later, Japan was rebuilding them at the factory. Worth 40+ these days.
Dothan is only about 30 minutes from the Florida line.
But it took all night to get there and the sun was coming up when I used a payphone for a parent to come and get me.
Keep in mind St. Petersburg is roughly halfway down the west side of Florida.
Went over a small bridge. Speed trap was rigged to clock my speed coming down the other side of the bridge.
Because I was out of state, I was placed under arrest. Never was cuffed but stood around for an hour watching them ticket who often complained
of the so obvious a speed trap.
Asked them if my brother could follow as they took me to "central lockup."
They laughed as they tried to lose my brother and all the more when he was forced to run a changing traffic light to keep up. Scumbags? Yep!
I was in a holding cell with a bunch of unhappy guys for about 15 minutes when someone called my name.
It was mispronounced but I knew it was me and did not correct the jailer. (Just get me out of there!)
Another cop told me my fine was $10. I could not believe I went to jail for $10!
"Ten dollars?" I inquiringly exclaimed. I was told if I wanted to contest the fine I'd stay in jail before appearing in court at 1PM the next day.
To that I said, "TEN DOLLARS? I'VE GOT TEN DOLLARS!"
My brother was waiting for me outside.
