Hope you checked your mileage!

Was cruising down the highway doing about 15 mph over the limit at 5 this morning when I had to pass a long line of trucks.
After I got past the 3rd truck this car comes up behind me like a tornado and rides my bumper with what looked like just a few inches to spare.
I look and my mirror and figure it is a full size sedan of some type and think "cop?".
Figure if it is a cop he already has me at 15 over and if I slow down he may just find out how small my back seat is so I stay at the same speed.
Get past the trucks and pull into left lane and the car shoots by.
Yes sir cop! Not just one but two as there is another cruiser behind him.
About 10 minutes later pull into a service center and park a little ways down from the cruisers.
Grab a coffee and come out and there are the two cops walking around looking at my car with a flashlight.
I walk up and they stop and come over.
One cop says "what colour is this?
I tell him it is orange (the halogen lights made it look gold) and is call Hot Lava.
The other cop turns to the first and says "told you"
They both then start going on about how great the car looks, ask how much and if I like it!
We chatted about 15 minutes and I gave them a salesman's card and went on my way.
This is now the third time I have had a "sweet ride bro" encounter with the police.

I have little doubt that the one that rode my bumper was running my plate. It is ironic just how often having no tickets on your record avoids getting a ticket!
Considering they both took off and made my 15 over look like I was stopped just to get coffee I could probably argue the point.

Anyway, after this incident, the boy walked over to get some packet from the vending machine; when he turned around, he spotted my Hot Lava FR-S getting its bath in the next stall. The kid just stopped, stood there and stared at my car for about five minutes, pure lust filling his little 10 year old heart. When I got done washing and drying, I drove off and Junior turned to watch me drive off and followed the car until I was out of sight. It was certainly the most sincere compliment I've received yet on the car's appearance.
I had a similar story this past weekend. Was driving through my neighborhood when I saw a little boy excitedly point and say "Daddy, that's a cool car!" Put a smile on my face.

Hah I feel the same way sometimes. It is like a real life hot wheels toy.

Reminds me of this old Acura Integra commercial:

So, bit of a weird story here.

I'm in the parking lot of an outlet mall near Toronto, and I proceed to park my car as far away as possible in a more secluded spot. To my left, a hummer pulls up and stops. I'm sitting in the car with my GF deciding where to shop first before we head out of the car and holy. shit. Girl next to us starts bobbing her head up and down and the guy reclines his chair. Yeah. You know exactly where I'm going.

The guy is litterally getting sucked off in broad daylight, inside his hummer with his engine still on. So me and my girlfriend are sitting there awkwardly, like, I don't think they know we are in the car (they are parked one car space beside us). If we get out, it's going to be even MORE awkward. So we're just laughing our ass off and making stupid comments etc. Then out of nowhere, this ten year old child with an iPhone or something comes out and just flat our starts snapping pics of my car, not giving a shit. His mom stands there and waits, and we were like ok. At this point, I'm like okay, whatever, I get out of the car and this kid is literally taking a 360 degree photoshoot of my car with his phone all the while the guy in the car next to me is receiving head.

tl;dr - guy in hummer getting a blowjob while kid takes photos of my car while i'm still in the car.

So a hummer in a Hummer show and a Show and Tell project all in one day!

He seemed pretty tempted, but I don't think he's had his car long enough to justify a change.
