  • Would this annoy you?

    I've got a guy working for me that has this 70s Duster with a ginormous stroked big block, tunnel ram, dual quads sticking out of the hood, sounds like the world is coming to an end when it is running, etc etc. today he was doing some tuning on it and while he was driving down the road(it's completely legal) he got pulled over by 2 cops. They pulled him over because they wanted to talk to him about the car because they liked it. As flattering as that may be, I found it a bit preposterous, and it isn't the first time I've heard of it happening. Perhaps I'm over reacting. At least you can walk away from the douche at the gas station that "I had one just like this, only it was a different color, year, and make and model...." Discuss.

    Several years back, I had an Irving Copper follow me into my driveway at home one afternoon, said he just wanted to check out my car... he seemed to be genuinely interested in it too.

    No harm done...

        I was pulled over and complimented a few years back by an officer for the exhaust "tone" on my Mach 1. No offense whatsoever taken on my part.

            I've had them bullshit with me after I was pulled over being stupid, which I didn't mind.

            I would be pissed if they pulled me over just to bullshit.

              I'd file a report against them.

                I get it, but that's the authority thing right? Why not do like the rest of us and try to talk at a light or something.

                What if he's late for work or somewhere he needs to be going? I get it, it's supposed to be funny and all that crap - but ain't nobody got time for that.

                Edit: Now, if pulled over for an actual reason and they let you go because they dig your car and get along with you - meh, a little different.

                  It's one thing if they stop and compliment it when I'm already at my destination or already stopped, but to pull someone over to compliment a car shows a complete lack of respect of the car owners time.

                    This mirrors my thoughts as well.

                        I've never had a car cool enough to be followed.

                          Since when have the DWG/Pantego cops ever displayed anything besides totalitarian authority? Fucking assholes. I wouldn't drive an attention magnet like that through there on a bet.

                          Cops always have probable cause to pull over a Duster. They're looking for empty Coors bottles on the floor and a joint behind his ear.
                          When the government pays, the government controls.

                            It wasn't either of those cities. I'm not going to blast them, but it was one of the larger towns in the area.

                              Happened in my '69 Mach1. Annoying when you don't have time for their stories.
