8/Serial

"Caddy tail lights?" the cop repeated.
"Yeah, you know--Cadillac," I answered, outlining the shape with my hands.
He looked amused. "You're sure about that."
I was less amused. "Yes, I'm certain."
"Okay, wait here a minute, please," he said. As if I had room to pull out.

    I would never question your car identifying abilities.

    Fictionalized, based on a real event that was somewhat different. Yup, I'm a car person. I wish I had the buying power to go with it.
