When a teen got a car in the 60’s, a popular hobby was to “cruise” with friends to show off a car. Teens would drive around slowly and pointlessly to look cool and sometimes, pick up girls. When George cruised, he hung out with a gang called the “Greasers.” No one wanted to mess with them, and therefore, George. When he wasn’t driving with the Greasers, George would ignore the speed limit and break many driving laws. Consequently, George got a lot of speeding tickets and had a boat load of money to pay off.
