Default Damn cops.....

This morning my wife and I were driving seperate because we had to take the Acura to the body shop (83 year old woman hit it in a parking lot). I was driving the SS.
I had the morning dreams are made of with the exception of seeing 5 different cops in a span of 15 minutes. Well, the first car I see this morning is a '03-04 Cobra convertable (Mistic Chrome), next I see a LS1 Z-28, next car is a newer Mach 1, the next car is another new Cobra, and the last car I see is a Crustang GT.
I am so frustrated. I don't get this many "raceable" car in that amount of time EVER! This was also my first time next to a Cobra while I was driving my SS.
Damn cops always ruining my fun.

Keeping on the trend of "cars I saw on my way to work today"... I saw a Ferrari 360 CS.

After he passed me, I looked at the license plate... it said "5575657"... I am thinking phone number? It's gotta be... How much of a ******* pompous, pathetic, arrogant *** hole do you have to be to put your phone number on your plate because you drive a Ferrari

I definitely would have been a kill story had I tried anything... especially in a 1.8L Saturn SC2

It is funny how you always see cars you want to play with when you can't do it, isn't it?

By the way, that guy's area code is most likely 248... in case anyone wants to mess with him. I am pretty sure I remembered the number right.

99-LS1-SS: The cops are so bad around here. I drove my mom to work one day, she works at Moses Cone, saw 7 cops on I-85 in about a 4-5 mile stretch. I was like, "WTF?" At least 1 of them was a state trooper camaro... I love those.

Don't miss understand me...I don't mess around in traffic or with dumba$$ kids. If this friend of yours drives a black and yellow WS6 I think I have seen him around B'ham before.
