Just thought I'd share this interesting cop story:
So I finally fixed the brake caliper on my car, which I hadn't driven in about a month due to waiting for parts, since none of the local parts stores carry pads for this car, and then I was messing with a seized caliper piston.
So anyways, I get it all working fine, I wash it up, get it nice and shiny, and go out for a little drive. A few minutes into it, I see the red and blue lights in my rear view. FUCK! I know I didn't do anything wrong, but it just goes with the territory of driving a red sports car I guess. So the cop comes over and says he pulled my over for failing to yield to some pedestrians who were about to cross the street at the last intersection. I don't recall seeing anyone, but whatever.
I'm getting my paperwork when he starts complimenting me on the car, even getting the model down right, and knowing the specs, twin turbo, etc. At this point I look at him a little more closely and realize he's the same cop that checked out my car once when I reported a stolen license plate (he even gave me his "business card" with his cell phone number on it). He then realizes the same thing and hands me back all my shit. Turns out he just wanted to check out the car.
So we start talking about cars and what not, and he has me turn mine on and rev it up so he can hear the twin turbos. So after a few more minutes of this he lets me go and tells me: "If you want to haul ass out of here, as hard as you want...I dont give a fuck. I want to hear those turbos and see what this can do."
So I'm totally down, but tell him his cop buddies better not be around the corner when I do it. He assures me that they aren't, so I proceed to launch the biatch HARD right in front of him. All the while people are walking along and must have been thinking I was trying to run from the cops or something.
Best cop experience EVAR!
You always hear bad things about cops, hell I got some stories of my own, but anyone have any good ones to share?
