I got you beat. I was a B-Section student, which meant I did work section first, then school section. So I had not even started classes yet. I was about 3 weeks in when I took Buick Chief Engineer Lloyd Reuss’s car. My assignment was to get new digital radios installed and instrumented in cars, then test drive them and record the data. I tagged a black and silver Regal T-Type and had the radio installed and instrumented, then took it for the test drive. Stopped off for lunch. When I came back to the garage there were four guys in suits standing in the spot that I took the car from. In retrospect I am totally shocked that I didn’t get fired on the spot. Lloyd was really cool about it. Obviously, or my GM career would’ve ended before it began and you guys would not have the benefit(?) of my contributions here.
Years later I told Mark the story and he died laughing.
