wouldnt let my Mom drive, so she was reduce to "backseat driving" - and YES (!!!) she had a license for it too.
The following is a true story. As much as you want to believe it not to be it did indeed occur. My Mom was legendary for her driving prowless. Hell, I was once in her car as she laid rubber at a stop sign....With a Muskogee PD car directly behind us. She laughed at the cop as he wrote her a warning, guess those 36 DD's may have had something to do with that...Anyways, below is the story:
Mom didnt get her license until she was 34 years old. Her first traffic ticket was for doing 180+MPH in a 55 MPH zone on a state highway, yes, you read right - 180MPH in a 55 MPH zone...All this without a driver's license or permit (Mom bought herself a 1976 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am with a medical malpractice settlement. Her first driving lesson was learning to drive atbreak neck speeds on the Muskogee/Broken Arrow turnpike. Mom had the 454 Chevy 8 block modified so the top speed her TA would get was about 210 MPH according to the OHP.).
Once Mom passed her driving test, which she nearly aced, she had a challenge made to her from the OHP trooper who pulled her over. This trooper has a 1980 Pontiac Firebird 'Bandit Edition' Turbo which he claimed could beat Mom's TA in a drag on the highway. Mr.Pooper-Trooper even wanted to sweeten the offer by racing for pink slips, so Mom, being the NO BS person accepted his offer.
The local unit, which this trooper belonged too, cordened off (Can you say "illegally"? Knew ya could!) a stretch of highway 64, Which becomes highway 2 between Porum & Briartown, for the race.
Mom LUNCHED Mr.O-Hip and his black Turbo turd, so much that this trooper was near tears knowing he had just lost his 'prized' car to a woman driver. When he approached Mom to give her his pink slip, Mom told him to keep it, She said "I dont want that piece of crap...It drives too slow". His fellow trooped ripped him a new one for the whole episode.
Awww, the memories of the **** that was my childhood...God it was definitely different than most.
