Default Can you believe it?!

Okay so i'm driving on my way to school today at around 8AM.

The light turns red at a very busy intersection by a highschool.

I'm driving there and i'm like "you know what, i don't feel like stopping"

So i drive through the light which had been red for a good 3 seconds. All of a sudden, i see cherries followed by "pull over to the right"

I'm thinking to myself "OMG"

I'm sitting there, music blasting, top down, smoking a cig when the officer approaches and says, "I'm officer ---------------- from the ---- precinct. I pulled you over because you ran that light.

Me: Okay
PO: License, registration, insurance.

I hand him my license and registration.

Me: Officer, my insurance car is in my tool well, can i get it from the back?
PO: Go ahead.

So i get my insurance card and i walk towards him as i'm pulling out my PBA cars.

Me: Officer, I have to take a final can you cut me a break.

He takes the insurance card and the PBA cards.

PO:Where'd you get these from?
Me: I work at a golf store and my buddies who are cops come in all the time.

Looks at me.

PO: You work for a golf store?
Me: Yes.
PO: Where?
Me: ---------------- on --------------- ave. in ------------------- (for info, check metro's shopping guide.
PO: So if i stop by, you'll take care of me?
Me: Yes.

He hands me back my stuff then says....

"Have a nice day."

Like I said, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!

I don't even want to think about the points i would gotten for running a light by a school.


See, NYPD police officers are nice guys if you approace them calmly enough.

I've pulled my firefighter id and badge before when I got pulled over, and all I got was a nice little yellow slip back.

I went to my mechanic's today to see what he was working on.... he's Japanese and always has cool car magazines... (he is restoring his 1960 327 Vette as well)

So we threw my car up on the lift..... 1 nail in my left rear tire - 4 nails in my right rear tire!!!
OMFG!@! He was like, "Where the hell have you been driving?" ??

And thanks Bill for answering a few techy questions over the phone!!
