Tonight I got a late start with my automotive plans, so by the time me and the AMX made the Somerville cruise it was basically dead. So, I figured I'd just got for a ride down Rt. 22. I hit my usual gas up spot in Greenbrook, then hit the 7-11 in N Plainfield, then said "what the hey..." I'll see if anything is going on at the Funkin' Gonuts in Springfield. I've seen some decent iron show up there in the past, and if not it is always fun to stare down the ricers. I pulled in, and my exhaust immediately made a couple of alarms go off.
Of course all the ricers just stared over at the AMX and talked amongst themselves, but a dude in a nice Supra rolled by and gave me props. He even knew what the AMX was, so I gave him double props. After standing around for a couple of minutes I went inside, and hit the bathroom and got me a Gatorade. I went back outside, and sat down on the curb next to the car. I could swore I heard a police p/a system, but when I stood up and looked around all I saw was one cop car across the parking lot, and it looked like the cop was inside the DD. So, I shrugged it off. I finished up the Gatorade, then walked over to a garbage can so I could throw the bottle away. Wellllll, then all hell broke lose! At least 3 cop cars came zooming into the lot, and next thing ya know it looks like a dayum swat team swarming around! One cop announced for everybody to get their paperwork out...so I walked back to the car and dug out my paperwork. I thought this display was a little extreme, 'cause nobody was raising hell. Chit, everybody I saw was just standing around drinking coffee and b.s. ing. But wha ever...I stood there and waited for my turn to be checked out. A cop came over to me and said "This is your lucky night!" I said "Oh yeah? How do you figure?" He replied "Since you are driving an American musclecar, I'm gonna let you off the hook if you leave right now!" I laughed and said "I'm yesterday's news Sir! Have a nice night!" I hopped in the AMX, and once again I set off a bunch of alarms when I fired it up. I pulled out real slow, and decided to go around the building instead of trying to manouver around the cop cars. I hit 22 nice and easy, and got the hell outa Dodge. Geez, whatta night!
