this poor kid

[Dan Simoes <dans>]

You couldn't script this one if you tried.

My wife and I went out for dinner tonight, and since the restaurant was
hot and stuff and our food was delayed, I excused myself to get some
fresh air.

I happened to walk towards the corner where I had parked the CQ (tornado
red) and notice what looks like my car, parked at an odd angle, with
headlights on, and a police car with lights flashing blocking it in.

Thinking that perhaps someone had tried to steal my car, I walked briskly
towards the car.  I soon realized that this wasn't my car, as it had
Speedlines instead of my BBS wheels.

I walked around the car and looked at the face of this young man behind
the wheel.  I explained my story and he says "No way, that's your car?
I saw it, wanted to look at it, so I flipped a U-ie (aka uturn) and
the cop pulled me over".

Bummer, says I.  I went over and explained this to the cop, who managed
to mutter an "uhhuh" as he continued writing the ticket...
