Your first uncorked trip, to the muffler shop...

I put headers on my 318 Sport Satellite and ran it open header from the SanDiego Navy base to ElCajon. Getting ready to get on the freeway and CHP pulls up right behind me....oh crap...fixit ticket here I come. I crepe onto the highway and he doesn't pull me over...wow. This was in 76.
What color was that car? Original California car?
