I'm almost 33 years old and a high school teacher. My most recent act of automotive stupidity was this -

I took the Monte to work last week, and a bunch of students were outside at the end of the school day. They were egging me on, telling me to rev it up, do a burnout, etc. I took off around the corner very gently, then hammered it from a 10mph roll and broke the tires loose, ran it right up to 5K rpms, then shifted nicely into 2nd. Of course, I didn't see the cop parked right across the street. DOH! He came flying up behind me, lights flashing, and pulled me over like 100 ft. from the school. As the students are walking by, I'm thinking "Damn, I'm such an asshat!" Exhibition of speed in a school zone is not a good idea.

The cop was very pissed, but he let me go. I'm guessing he thought it was a 17-y/o student, and not one of the teachers!
