And inform him that the Viper is not an IMPORT!

it might of said 'import cars rule' or something equally stupid. that would make more sense, but it looked like it said sucked. it was rather dusty!

The video is for car reviews we are starting to do at carwoo. Anyway, we get stuff set up and we are doing some shots. As we are doing it this truck starts driving through the parking lot slowly. As he gets behind us he floors it and just throws a ton of dirt in the air. He didn't put any rocks on the car, but put a shit load of dirt in the air. The wind was blowing hard so it was gone pretty quick. We just said, "dick' and moved on. About 20 secs later a cop came through gave us a nod and smile and motored on after the guy. He was on a bike and drove quickly down wind of the car.

About 20 mins later the cop showed back up. We were not supposed to be in this parking lot. The convo went like this:

Cop : "Who's car is this?"
ME: "Well if we are in trouble it's his, if not it's mine" nervous chuckle

Cop: "Lucky you. Sweet car. Just wanted to let you know I ran that guy down in the truck. I asked him why he did that to you guys and his words were "i was just being a dick." So I threw the book at him. I gave him every ticket he qualified for.

ME: "Really?"
Cop: "Yeah. That was a pretty bullshit thing to do and it was illegal to drive through here like that. Anyway, have fun and get lots of cool pictures and video. That car is awesome!"

And he drove off. The back of the truck said something like "import cars suck" or something. So if someone lives in san mateo and sees that truck ask him about his latest group of tickets!
Awesome. Is it just me or do cops only come in two flavors: "really awesome" or "huge pain in the balls?"

I think that's probably true. I think a lot of them let the job get to em and some just have the ability to let all the BS roll off their back. The car helps too. I doubt the cop in texas or this one would of been so cool if i was driving a clapped out civic.

yeah, me too. I would say we could meet up later, but i'm not 1800 miles away! If you are ever in the bay area....

Visceral is a good way to describe it.

I'll def. keep you in mind next time I'm in the area - I love the Bay Area, and may be in the Sonoma area around August.

Still waiting for those videos that we were promised. (It's hard to live vicariously through you when we don't get to see what you are doing..)
