I was just reading Tom Tom Turbo story and it reminded me of a time that I got pulled over by a cop. I had just gotten new tires (Nitto 555R 275/50R15) and wheels (Weld Pro-Star 15X8 BP 5X4.75 BS 3.5). So I decided to go out and try them out. Plus I had one of my friends with me and wanted to show off a little. I was pulling onto Georgia Ave (MD, Rt. 97) from a small back street. I hit it REAL hard and turned it sideways. I stayed on the throttle, compensating the wheel until it hooked. Well for those who don’t have Nitto and don’t now, Nitto are very temp sensitive. They don’t hook that well if you have the torque that you can get out of our cars with some mods until they get good and hot. Not to mention it was a cold night. Tires cold + engine making lots of power = NO TRACTION. So after waiting an hour or two for the tires to hook, I final got the car going straight and it took off. Looked down at the Speedo and was doing 80 / 85 mph and still pulling, when I cut off an unmarked cop. You might ask how the f*ck I did that. So it was very dark out, no moon, and no street lights. Well when the cop came up to my door he started shooting the sh*t talking about cars. He asked me where I got it, how many miles it had, what it ran in the ¼ mile, and other questions. Then out of no were he asked “Do you have any drugs or guns in the car.” To which I replied NO!!! Then he asked if he could search the car. I told him sure. He asked me again if he could search the car. Again I told him yes. He then asked if I was sure it was ok to search the car. For the third time I told yes. Then he told me that he was only looking for drugs or guns and that I could move along. So I was about to pull away before he changed his mind, when he asked me if I could do something for him…………I was thinking he was going to give me a warning……not at all……”Can you light them up for me?” I was so caught off guard that a cop would ask me this that I asked him if he was sure. He stated it again “light them up, but wait for this car to go pass and don’t get in an accident.” So as I was about to pull away I started boosting up and then let it rip. I spun the wheels for about sixty feet. So the moral of this story is that some car guys wear badges!!! Thanks to all the GREAT cops and firemen out there who put there a*s on the line for us every day!!!!!!!!
