i took the gn out on the highway for the first time today, and i got some pretty cool reactions from a few people.
after getting it inspected i pulled out and stopped at a light. the guy that pulls up next to me rolls his window down and informs me that i dont have any plates, and compliments me on the car(i already new it didnt have plates). i tell him that i was headed to get the plates at the momment and i hopped i could make it there in time. he said "with that car you should be able to make it there and back!
next was a mid 90's mustang that clearly recognized the buick and was reving and acting like an idiot. i am babying the buick for break in purposes and there was way too much traffic to put him in his place, so i just let him rev.i dont understand why he would pick a fight with a buick. i dont think there is a buick in the area that runs slower than low 13s.
the final person was a leander police dept. i was almost home when i see the lights behind. so i pull over and shut the car off. the officer walks up on the passenger side where my dad is sitting for some reason, and informs me that i dont have any plates, i explain that the car is from out of state and i just finished rebuilding it. i had just got it inspected, and couldnt get the plates because we were 2 minutes late. he walks off with my licsence after checking to make sure the title that i handed him matched the vin on the car. when he comes back he asks my dad if he was sure he wanted to let a teen drive a car like this (half jokingly), and my dad assured him that i was a safe driver.
well, i know it isnt much, but i thought it was pretty cool to get so much attention the first time i take the car out. it was pretty cool. although, i could due without the attention of the locall law enforcement!
