Suddenly, the tar wagon bursts into flames. Then, the driver panics causing a 20 car collision. The last car to crash into the mess somehow gets airborne and jumps over all of the cars, landing on its roof.

Oh wait a minute. That happened in EVERY CHiPs episode.

We had some beers and played pinball. He is the nicest fucking celebrity I've ever met, and was totally sincere and genuine.

As a child, I had a Bigwheel bike that was fashioned after a CHiPs motorcycle. I'd ride it around and my dad would call me Ponch. Mr. Estrada was nice enough to pause for this photograph, which I had framed and gave to my dad for Xmas. He liked it, and it was a father/son type thing in it's sappiness.
