Greatest Driving Moments..........

[edkellock at juno.com]

I've read a couple dozen of these and something of mine finally came to
mind...

My first driving experience.  I was 14.  I had been lusting after my
mom's
1973 Mercedes 450SL for 4 years.  So I devised a plan...

I set the alarm for 3am.  Woke up, listened for any other creatures
stirring
and then went downstairs to the garage.  I opened the garage door and
waited, listening.  Finally, I pushed the car just out of the garage,
jumped in
and let it roll backwards, down the driveway and as far down our street
as
it would go.  Then I sat, staring at the house.  Nothing.  So I started
it and
backed further down the street until I was out of sight of the house.  

I drove around for over 30 minutes.  At one point, an LA County sheriff
car was right next to me... might have been at a traffic signal. 
Nothing.  I
returned home and was prepared for the wrath of my parents.  I had left
the garage door open and just drove smoothly into the garage and shut
off the engine.  Nothing.

To this day, they are still unaware of this event.  Not a top speed
event,
but still, an event I'll never forget.
