I lived in the Detroit area and I love driving cars to their limits. As a result I have been pulled over by a lot of police. I even lost my license for a short period of time and had to use a paper temporarily license as a form of ID. My insurance was sky high for about 7 years(Think PLPD on a $500 beater for $3K per year). Incidentally, all these younger year shenanigans has made me very good at my job. Fast forward many years of maturity later and I am now in Europe temporarily for work.

So one day, I was cruising on an Autobahn in Germany at 155MPH(Speed limiter). I was feeling lucky to have this opportunity to drive on the autobahns with a company car that could easily achieve this speed. Then I passed a police officer who was maybe doing 70-80MPH. I was legally able to do so but somehow still felt "lucky" LOL. I just can't get over the feeling of legally passing a police officer at a speed that makes it seem like he was parked.

In my broke days, my 2.5 ran out of gas on me sooooo many times, luckily it would warn you with a quick sputter (it was 4speed) putting it in neutral would bring it back to life and LUCKILY to the nearest gas station to beg for a buck to get home. 2 bucks would do the trick to get me home.

I know I was pathetic

Bought stock in 1976 for <$400, sold it in 2006 for >$36000. Six months later the stock was worthless..
