A great aunt of mine used to drive just like that when Walmart, Belks or K-Mart had a big sale going.She drove a mid '80s Grand Am back then and once hit a railroad crossing fast enough to get some air, enough to bust the oil pan when she came down. She didn't make the sale that day.

Based on that and some other tidbits over time, you have an interesting family background
After my first divorce, my ex-wife started dating my uncle, who had also just gone through a divorce. If they had gotten married, I don't know if I would've become her favorite nephew, or her least favorite one. Either way, I would've been the guy that had slept with his uncle's wife for ten years, so take that, you redneck son 'em bitch of an uncle!Yeah, there are some "interesting" people hanging out in the 'ol tree. Now and then something sparks a memory. You should hear the stories I'm not sharing publicly.

Man, talk about the family tree having an ingrown root...
We don't have any of those kinds of schenagains. We just like to have a little too much fun, the "hold my beer", and "oh shit, its the cops" kind.

Anyway that ultimately got them tossed, so they grab some more beer and head home. When they pulled up to drop Jerry off his wife was outside waiting. Turns out Jerry didn't tell her anything earlier and just took off. Another key piece of info is Jerry was a wiry little guy, probably 5'7" and 150lbs, his wife was equally as tall and pushing 200lbs. Anyways, she says something that rubbed Jerry wrong, so he ran around the house and got his weedeater, and proceeded to attack her flowers with it. My dad said Carolyn grabbed him from behind, picked him up off the ground and body slammed him. My dad said Jerry bounced, then got up and went inside without saying another word.
Yall are triggering memories, here's one I can share. This was before my time, so I'm just relaying the story, but one summer day back around 1980 my great uncle Jerry, the one who "didn't know" the cops were after him, asked my dad and one of our cousins to help him paint his moms house, so they did. My dad said at lunch break Jerry went to get them some burgers for lunch and returned with a case of Budweiser, which goes down too fast in our hot southern summer. Well, around 5 they run out of paint and Jerry is starting to buzz around, so he talks them into going to a strip bar, and being 20 year old guys, they did.
My dad said Jerry held it together until about 10 when he started running out of money and brains, at which point he started ripping dollars in half, yeah, some of us are also financially smart.

My dad said she yelled something at them and told them to go home, so they they did as told and got out of there.
Jerry was funny, but I'm glad we didn't know each other when we were both young, but I have his offspring to deal with.
Historical precedent certainly exists, though only in naval situations and not for more than 200 years. Careful though, admiralty courts were notoriously fickle with regard to adjudication of what was a lawful prize. Politics were involved (as I'm sure they would be now) and financial ruin could easily come to a privateer who took a prize later declared a neutral.I need to get these on order. Figure I need to start preparing for my next career since the US gov will be issing letters of marque.

Unless you were talking about being the repair guy for the privateer. That might be safer as long as you didn't work on credit.
Let's just hope that poor '68 had its wheel wells radiused because they were also rusty, and not just to fit on some fat 50-series tires.

I didn't know Napolean Dynamite drove a '69 Charger...

Unfortunately , we both know that Camaro didn't have any rust . It was like a 2005 Cavalier is now . The 70's weren't kind to cars that are big money now...
Yeah. I was hoping those were Michigan plates or some such on it, so that I could feel better about it. Probably an Arizona car...
