Must Sell Right Now |
Had similar experience. Years ago I had just bought a "newly used" 69 Datsun 2000 Roadster with big carbs, a cam, and loud exhaust. I was at a stop light in town on a Friday night and a Porsche 911 next to me wanted to give it a go.
We did.... I lost.... Got pulled. 
I jabbered on about how I JUST bought the car, and insisted on opening the hood so the deputy could admire my new hardware. He let me go with a warning.  |

About 15 years ago I was driving my 1970 Mach 1 with a 351c and auto. I left a stop sign "aggressively" and chirped second gear. Immediately, lights behind me. Demonstration of power, 40 in a 25, and careless driving.
" I just got this car and it has some kind of shift kit in the tranny," I stammered nervously, "I really didn't mean to drive like a crazy person, i'm just not used to the car, yet."
"You bought it, you are responsible. Why did you buy a car that you can't handle?"
"I've always wanted one of these since high school. It's really a great car and I'm an excellent driver with no violations. I'll master it."
I got a warning and some friendly advice to not do that again in his patrol area. Also, told me if I decided to sell it, he would be interested. Car guys, even cops, understand other car guys.

Heard this a little while ago about a cop pulled over a young kid for speeding. He told the kid he was waiting for someone like him all day. The kid told the cop he got there as fast as he could !! Kid got a warning. Jim

Had an officer say: "Your merging onto the highway was spectacular!" |

I wonder what excuse you could use to get out of 163 mph in a 70 zone. Luckily, I didn't have to but just saying...

About all anyone could say is: "Do I get one phone call?"

Guys,
Just after I bought a Ford GT I was mergeing onto the freeway and got behind a gravel truck, Immediately I did some quick lane changing and got past the truck. Next thing I see is lights in the rearview mirror. Pull over and still do not even have my tags. Ins. and Liscense please, YEs SIR. Did you know your were speeding and driving wrecklessly changing lanes with no turn signal? I was just trying to get around that gravel truck so did speed up and was probably going to fast. How about the lane changing with no turn signal? TRUE STORY: I SAID "Well sir, this is one of the fastest cars Ford ever built and it is so fast that sometimes when you turn the blinkers on it will change lanes before it flashes" I got a smile and a Slow it down and be safe out there. Good Guy, really think he just wanted to see the car!

I seem to remember alot of "Yes sir", "No sir", and "It won't happen again sir". I really need tht speedo closer to the steering wheel.

What do you think an LEO will say if my tag is CNTDR55 ? I've got friends who say they don't have a sense of humor...

LEO: Do you know how fast you were going?
Me: Uh, no, I don't.
LEO: 91 mph.
Me: Wow, that's pretty good for a small block!
LEO: (Between chuckles) OK, have a good day but slow it down!
