In this episode, we’re peeling back the layers of a 90s-era "bad idea" that started at our local social mecca—Tommy Check gas station. My best friend, Reedy, and I were looking for trouble, and we thought we found the perfect outlet: my dad’s brand-new 1995 Ford Escort.

What began as a quest to see if a budget-friendly sedan could hit triple digits turned into a white-knuckle, 110 MPH experience that ended with flashing police lights in the rearview mirror. Between the threat of jail time and the inevitable "parental interrogation" back home, this story is a wild ride through teenage hubris, rural country roads, and a very unexpected twist of karmic justice.
