So today was a slow day at work and around 2 o'clock I told my service manager I had stuff to take care of at home. For the last week or so I've had my car apart waiting to finish up my F-body radiator install, mainly needed to mount my external coolers and then put the grill back in, etc. So I got home quick and got to work before this supposed severe weather (9:30pm now and still no rain 
)
I had been out on my driveway for an hour or so already and about ready to fire the car up when I see a Chicago cop car slowly roll past my driveway. Was going so slow I knew he was staring at the car. Put my extension cord away, turn around and see the cop car backing up and moving towards the curb to park. My mind starts racing wondering if I've done anything stupid on the street lately, wondering if there's been reports of some obnoxiously loud black car roaring through the neighborhood. I keep minding my own business cleaning the garage and the officer comes walking up my driveway. I see him eyeballing the car and say "how's it goin?".
He starts talking to me about the GN he used to have and I breathe a sigh of relief!
He noticed my drag radials and told me about the time he was coming back from Union Grove (drag strip) and it started to rain and his car did a 360 on the expressway because of his tires.
He was telling me about someone he used to know with a 10 second GN and I told him "these days guys are running 8's and 9's".
I thought he'd start asking me if the car was street legal and here he goes telling me how he had nitrous on his!!
Anyways I just thought it was funny because my heart was POUNDING until I realized what was going on. These cars get attention whether you like it or not!

, i didnt know what he wanted until he told me he was a GN owner too. he told me his was smoking real bad and if i knew what was wrong . blown turbo was my 1st thought. i ended up giving him the phone number to street performance. the cop was cool and we talked for about 20 mins. about GN's.
