Lots of cops are car guys, they'll use any reason to develop probable cause to stop you. The last time had it happen to me I got to listen to the cop tell me about his three race cars for an hour. He finally got a radio call from dispatch, or I bet he'd have gone two hours.
So...the answer is probably no to the first, but yes to the second.
Cheers, and hope you get use to it. Every drive is ten thumbs ups and twenty "Shave and a haircut, two bits" honks, that sort of thing.
Cheers!
