Have you ever.......

Have you ever had a scenario when you are stopping at a red light with a
loud exhaust, and the police is next to you? Would you let him go first or drive normal?

Do a burn out. Or just drive normal.

Make eye contact. Nod my head with acknowledgement. Light turns green, I gun it. Pay for ticket with pride.

I'd lug in second.

The only time I sat beside a cop he motioned to roll down my window and asked me what the car was, how I liked it and how much it cost. The conversation lasted over 3 different lights before he turned away.
Just act and drive normal. If they are going to pull you over for exhaust then they are going to do it no matter what. If you are sitting there all jittery and nervous looking they are going to pull you over just to see what is up.

Scared of loud exhaust? They keep a tight leash on you there it seems. Are adults in CA allowed out after 9 PM and able to cross an intersection with out holding somebody's hand? I can't even fathom being scared of a cop because my car is loud. Are Harleys outlawed there?

Sucks for you Californians.

Brings to mind a story of back in the day ……… after I acquired my second vehicle (a 1948 Chevrolet coupe), I decided to “mod” my old ride (a 1937 Chev Pickup).

Yep, I turned it into a “quarter mile dragon wagon” …… cut off the bed and removed the sides of the hood to reduce the weight. Painted it with various different colored spray cans.

Welded 3 single barrel carbs onto the intake manifold.

Welded up a set of "headers", which consisted of four, 2” x 2’ long pieces of water pipes, coming more or less straight out of the head ……. of my “blue flame six” …… more on that later.

Now, in front of our farm, was a mile long, straight stretch of paved road …….. my personal drag strip.

I pulled out on the road to do a time trial ……… when out of nowhere, came an Ohio State Patrol car.

He pulled up beside me and motioned me over ……. so, I shut er down and drifted over onto the shoulder. He whipped out his pad and started writing. Then he got to the place where he said “fire it up”.

So, I did ……. he was standing right in front of the open exhaust pipes when he said, with an attitude, “rev it up”. I couldn’t resist and stomped on it and my “blue flame six” shot flames out about 2 feet …. slightly burning his uniform.

He was pissed ….. threw his book back into his patrol car and told me to get that POS off his highway and he NEVER wanted to see that machine again!
