I once did a burn out in my 74 454 Vette right in front of a cop (who I didn't see). Got pulled over and he came up and asked "what the hell were you thinking?" to which I responded "I wasn't, I just felt the need and did it without thinking, I am stupid"... He kind smiled and said "If I see you again tonight you are going to jail" and I said "yes sir"... It didn't hurt that he knew me from years past and I was home on leave, but I drove nice for quite awhile after that and checked my surroundings much more carefully...
