This picture was taken in 1975 with one of those instant cameras. Sorry about the quality.

I was riding in it in a not so nice area of town once and this big black guy jumped in the passenger seat and told me to take him somewhere. I told him that as long as it was the direction I was going that was fine with me. Then he looks at me and says "Do I instill fear in your heart?". I looked back at him and said "Hardly". Well it just so happens that I catch all the green lights in town for a long way past where he wanted to go and when I finally caught a red light he got out and said "You could have stopped back where I wanted to get out." I said "Guess you caught the wrong ride." I was 19 at the time and thought I was bullet proof.
