In response to the request for more stories. Thanksgiving Day 2017. I decided to take the Riviera for some spirited driving around "the block." To set the stage, "the block" consists of 2 multi-lane roads connected at an 90 degree angle and two single lane neighborhood roads one of which runs right in front of my house. The two multi-lane roads are not conducive to u-turns. The block is the prefect setup for exercising the Buicks' legs (Riv or GN). This day was the perfect reason why. Round one, I exit the neighborhood and proceed to hear a very pleasant and aggressive exhaust sound with a quick chirp of tires. Im not sure where this sound came from. I hang a right at the light onto the second divided highway. The same sounds were heard but for a little longer duration -about the time it takes to travel 1/4 mile. I slowed and turned right into my neighborhood. I wanted to confirm these sounds I heard were from my car not someone else. I make the next right and head back to the first divided road. Round two. Sure enough, as I exited the neighborhood I heard the same sounds! Additionally, I noticed a really nice police cruiser headed the opposite direction. They really do have nice cars. As I make the next right turn onto the second divided highway the sounds of joy bellowing from the Buick were heard again. Just to make sure I did not stir up wild life I check the rear view mirror. I saw that impressive police cruiser hang the right turn I previously made. It looked like he was trying to get somewhere quick. I make my last right turn into the neighborhood. I should add there was a car in front of me clicking along at a good pace (the SPEED Limit). Anyway, As I make the turn that shiny cruiser rolls up braking hard and loosing traction. I pulled into my driveway... Officer: Whats the deal with this car!? Me: Nothing, I was driving it around. Did I make too much noise? If I did I apologize. Officer: Whats the deal with this car!? Me: Nothing. Officer: Well I saw you the first time and didn't see where you went. Then I saw you again down the same road a few minutes later. Me: Yes sir, I was driving the car around. Officer: Whats the deal with this car!? (yes he asked three times). Me: Nothing, its just one of my classics. Im just driving them around. Officer: Well I going to guess you are the one that left those burn out marks over there (clearly in front of the neighbor's house). Me: Nope. In fact I called you guys on that and provided you the description of the offending vehicle and I never speed in a neighborhood. Officer: Oh...Well have a nice day. Me: Thank you, and thank you for working this Thanksgiving. (I did shake his hand while thanking him) Mic drop...
