The California Kid
You always hear the stories about friends, neighbors, co-workers, etc.........who turn out to be someone famous or had a famous past. But theres also a dark side.
There was a guy I knew, from street racing. He hung with the same crowd as me. He was from New York and had a habit of ticking people off. Anyway, he decides to sell his car (vette) at the House of Corvettes. My roonmate was the service manager and the owners daughter was my girlfriend.
This guy gets a phone call from the House of Corvettes, telling him they have a buyer for his vette. He shows up and it was just like in the movies. FBI came crawling out of the woodwork. Turns out he was wanted in N.Y. for bank robbery where he shot a guard. Yikes!
Another guy I knew named Randy, I met racing him. I became real good friends with him, his wife and his brother called Dutch. We would go to nightclubs and drag races together. I even stayed at their house overnight. One night, Randys wife calls and said he got hurt working on his car. I meet them at the hospital and give them a ride home. Pretty soon, theres a knock at the door. LAPD asking about the Pinto blocking a driveway. I go outside and explain it was my car and how we just got home from the hospital.
I go to move the car and I see LAPD surrounding the house. (not again!) They arrest Randy and Dutch. As Randy is led away, he looks at me and saids, "By the way, my real name is Phillip Steven". Turns out he was wanted in Nevada for Grand Theft Auto and had a rap sheet as big as a dictionary.
Dutch wasn't Randys brother. Turns out he escaped from prison.
Funny, they were 2 of nicest guys you ever wanna meet.
I got more, but I'll stop here. Everyone said I should be a cop because even the BAD guys like me.
