This morning, coming up to a stop light, I downshifted into 2nd and a LA County Sheriff was sitting in the left lane, I had just entered the left turn lane. The cop was sitting back from the intersection about 30 feet, kinda strange.
As I pulled into the lane, he rolled down his window and still sat where he was while I rolled past him.
So, the left turn light came on, I took of (gently) and looked in my rear view mirror and there was the cop, lights flashing right behind me. Since traffic is pretty intense where we were I pulled into a mini mart parking lot hoping he was after someone else, but there he was pulling in right behind me.
Since I've got tint on my windows and it's a legal tint, I rolled down the windows anyway and shut her down. Cop gets out of his car, he walks around the back of the truck looking, then he finally gets up to my window and say "This thing sounds pretty bad, is it fast?"
I told him it was fast enough to get me into a lot of trouble if I wanted. Then he wants to know what the Viper Truck Club of America is as he point to the sticker in my back window, so I explain it to him. Then he asks "You mean this thing has a Viper engine in it?" I Said yes.
So then he asks if he can look under the hood, so wanting to keep him happy, I pop the hood and show him the engine. We end up walking around the truck for about 15-20 minutes with him asking me all kinds of questions. Finally he tells me that he thinks it's a great looking truck and hope you don't mind, I just wanted to get a look at it cause he's never seen one before.
He gets back in his patrol car and gives me a wave and off he goes.
Scared the crap out of me in the begining, but sure made ya feel great to get pulled over for something like that.
