who gives an (unlicensed) teenager a Lamborghini?

[MurrayDelph]

23. In 1975

I lived on a moderately-busy residential street in LA's View Park neighborhood. One night during Labor Day weekend, I attended a science fiction convention near the airport.

Just before I got home, and would have been pulling my mother's car in from the street (I kept my car, my first, clean and waxed, so I'd get the garage), Ike Turner Jr lost control of his brother's car, going around a mild curve at 90 in a 35mph zone, smashing into my mother's car, sandwiching it between his brother's car and my uncle's, which had been forced up off the curb and. Into a palm tree.

Ike Jr's only concern was about how his brother would react. Ad when my father called the Turner family, the only response they got back was from a paid toady who told them "Ike and Tina are very busy and important people; why are you bothering them?"
