Thread Name: Would you buy a new Toyota ??
Subject: RE: Would you buy a new Toyota ??
Hahahahahaaaa! I just remembered sommat when I read your post Spaw. Silly me... I meant, slow down... the rev's would stay up, of course. My DUH! Big time.

But, here is the HAHA. 35 years ago, my buddy had a Datsun 610. Standard. We would take The Old Fredericton Road to uni and back... at 80mph most of the time on the straight stretches. When a cop would stop him, he would wait until the cop was about to get out of the car and then rev the engine way up and the throttle would stick when the second barrel opened.... you know the rest of the story... worked at least a half dozen times. Except the night the cop spotted about 500 apples in the back on Sunday night... the same cop that stopped him on Friday night going home.

Stealing apples back then was bad news... the fine was $5 an apple! But, he let us go and we never had the shits again.
