My story is Philly-related as well. I'll give the longer version:
Back in college some friends and I decided to go out and blow off some steam after the last day of finals. My buddy Phil brought one of his friends along, who is a big car guy (can't remember his name). They pull up in his orange '69 GTO (455 4 speed) and we head to the Chili's on City Ave. We had a few beers and were talking about car stuff, and the guy was saying how he's getting pinging when he's up in the RPM range, so we decide to go out and adjust his timing. We get out the light and such, and after we are done we decide to take a couple short blasts along the back of the Acme to see if the pinging is gone. All seems good, so we head back towards the Chili's to park the car. At this point, 3 cop cars come flying in, one at each nearby entrance to the shopping center. They surround us, two marked, one unmarked. One of the cops gets on the loudspeaker and tells us to get out of the car and keep our hands where they can see them. We have nothing to hide, so we get out and stand there. The cops come forward and search us first, and then the car. We had to empty the trunk, pull the seats up, the whole 9. They hassled us about the tools in the trunk but that was about it. Once they were satisfied, they tell us that they got a call that an
armed robbery was going on at the City Line Acme. After a few nervous laughs we tell them that we are just college kids, adjusting the timing on the GTO. They tell us that everything is cool, and we walk back into Chili's and sit down. The other people we were with didn't see any of this so they asked us why we have a glazed look over our eyes. So we tell them, and they all laugh at us and call BS, etc. But in a display of perfect timing, the cops all leave the same way, past the side windows of the Chili's, after which a big display of middle fingers and F-U's came out.
Edit: My nickname was "Dillinger" for a little while after.
