Topic: first ticket in the vette
in Forum: Humor
Friday I drove the vette to a shop one of my students owns. We installed the exhaust system, which required a bit of custom bending, and he has the equipment.
ANYWAY,, I passed 8 cops all with radar in a 23 mile span, and followed another for about a 1.4 mile. No one stopped me. Granted I never even touched the speed limit. Did I metion, I had just installed the headers, and the pipes etc were inside the car? Yep driving with open headers! And 9 cops let me go on by. I had the system in the car and could easily explain I was on my way to an exhaust shop, so I wasn't worried. But I really expected to get pulled over and questions. Guess they were just after speeders.
Gotta love them Washington Trooprs. I had my new Vette like 14 hours before one pulled me over I saw him up ahead (I was only doing 60mph) so I slowed down to like 57-58ish. He pulls out behind me on I-5, so I slow down to like 55, and now hes doing 55, I slow down to 50, now hes doing 50. Keep in mind we are not in the same lane
Well next thing I know he gets right behind me and throws on the lights. He pulled me over for expired tags, apparently the paper temps fell off the back window and I didn't know it. He looked in the back and said "there it is, maybe you should tape it up better" Then he says "nice car, your free to go now"
Can anyone say COP MAGNET
