When I was young (~20) one of my friends and I would "steal" his dad's hot rod every now and then from his shop (this was a black 68 ford falcon in mint condition, built up and ready to run like a scalded dog). Had a stainless deep sump oil pan with one of the COOL eyeball stickers on it (stuck out visually). The problem with this was that the plates were not valid, it had no inspection sticker, the gauges did not work (had to tach by ear), and worst of all, his dad would have executed both of us if he caught us. I did not instigate any of this - the son pushed the whole thing. I would help, by opening the garage doors, helping place hoses and tools on the ground to mark the exact spot where the car had been parked, etc.... Long story short, we never got arrested by the police and his dad never caught us. (Years later he said he knew exactly what was happening but was not mad at us about it.) Stupid as shit because we each had fast cars then anyway, and the falcon was not all that much faster. Anyway, I was reminded of this because his dad raced with Don Garlits back in the day.
