While driving a mile further down the road I saw a car rapidly approaching me from behind, then the dreaded flashing lights came on. I signalled and pulled her over waiting for my fate.
The policeman came up and first out of his mouth was "is it real?" to which I responded no it's a replica. He told me he pulled me over because I broke the rear tires loose and it is illegal in Illinois to do. I know I held traction but I think all of the noise lead him to believe otherwise.
He told me it was a beautiful car and to hold it down around town, he said to take it out to the country to have fun with it and gave me a verbal warning and told me to have a nice night.
Shook his hand and told him to do the same, so did my car just get me into trouble and out of trouble at the same time???????????    |
That sounds strangely familiar! Yes the car definitley gets plenty of attention - some less desirable.
The cops around here seem to really like cars too. Luckily we've got some great back roads around here to wind her up and DRIVE!
