lol Mike, it's hard to put in words the feelings it brought back.
I just kept looking at all of the off and on ramps, remembering all of the stops, pursuits, arrests etc.
Kept looking in my rear view mirror. Seeing your car behind me was like my beat partner and I heading back to the office.
And your car looked BAD ASS too ! Looked good !
It was a great feeling. I kept thinking...... what were the chances I'd ever get to drive this mustang on the exact freeway and beat areas to the office I retired out of ? Not only that, when Nelson had us take the mustangs behind the building next to the office so he could shoot the interiors, that was the exact spot I took one of the mustangs I last drove and took a bunch of pictures of it right before I retired.
So that was another amazement to me.
And all of that, thanks to you Mike ! You were the one that had been in contact with Nelson for quite some time.
And it all came together at Ripon.
It was a great way to end the show for me. ! It has and was a really great 3 weeks actually. From the time we took them to the Academy the end of Sept., EVOC track, that was a blast ! Then the show in Chico, then Ripon and then ending it with the trip up 99 to the office.
It's been a blast !
