Bob...
I'm surprised at you. Throwing fireworks from a car is dangerous...you
could easily get caught. A safer, and possibly more satisfying, way to
terrorize a neighborhood is to have several boys, each armed with 4 or 5
M80s and a pack of Camels (no filter, of course), fan out through a
neighborhood late at night. At various spots, preferably outside someone's
front door, you would have them light a Camel and insert the M80 fuse into
the end. Since a non-filtered cigarette will generally burn all the way
down by itself, you have plenty of time to gather back at the friend's
apartment, climb up on the roof and pull the ladder up behind you. Then
you sit back and enjoy the excitement of the explosions for blocks around.
The cops invariably cruise the area for an hour or so, but there's no one
there and no evidence... Naturally I would never have taken part in
anything like this, especially in St. Pete Beach around 1965.
TTFN.
