<\/a>For my money, give me a free bird (and a round of Lynyrd Skynyrd<\/a>‘s\u00a0Free Bird, the rock anthem blaring on my 1969 Impala Super Sport when a West Virginia state trooper clocked me driving 92 mph. He gave me a break and wrote me up for driving 5 miles over the speed limit. After all, it was my 20th\u00a0birthday).<\/p>\n
