Hmmmmm....... a '75 Valiant 4dr, Slant Six, Automatic.



I don't think so....

same thing happened to me a few weeks ago! a sherrif car came screching into my driveway and out pops the man...I thought I was busted.(but for what??) nope. he saw my coronet and had to stop and check it out. turns out he owns a charger and is big into mopars. I even sold him some parts!

That's awesome!

I'll bet you weren't expecting that!

I also bet your kids had a blast hanging out with the boys in blue and sitting on their bikes.

Too cool!

My 2 best friends here are Indianapolis police officers and while they both love my car one loves it more than the other as he used to have a Mopar and wants another one.

When he first saw the RR he about pee'd his pants and demanded I take him out across the street from the restaurant we were eating at into an empty lot for a ride. I did just that and tached it out.

The look on his face was like a little boy (only was I can describe it). I let him run it in the parking lot and then we went back to eat and his wife begged for a ride too.

Anyhoo, cops can be cool!

Whenever we are all out together my friends have their police crusiers and we smoke tires side by side at the red lights. Sometimes they get behind me and turn on their lights.... sometimes they turn on their spot-lights on me while we are at stop lights and I make like I'm running from the cops and we're having a police chase.

I don't know what the other people around us (behind us) etc. think when I yell out the window "YOU FREAKING PIGS!!!!" and speed off but I can imagine they think I'm insane and uhhhh maybe their right?

My one friend has pics of him and Rosco P. Coletrain in his police car (Rosco's) and in my friends cop car as well. (Crown Vic) He's a huge Mopar fan. He's gonna pull me over one night and turn on the lights and handcuff me by the RR for a cool sig pic.

My step-son came back from US Marine training a couple of weeks ago. During his absence, he let his musclecar registration and insurance lapse. The urge to drive it after returning was too great. He took the tags off of my wife's car and went for a drive.

In a parking lot, in front of a couple of his friends, he did a smokey burnout, to his chagrin, right in front of a policeman. Of course, the policeman flicked on his lights and came over. He asked my stepson for license and registration. My step-son gave him the license but told him that the car wasn't registered and was honest that he had taken the plates off of his mom's car. The policeman ran his license and after coming back clean he said "I had a car like that once....get that thing home and park it". I thought that was cool of him too.

Good story Doug

Hooray for the police to have great impact! It's the simple things.

Man, dont those guys have anything better to do? Did you find donuts in their luggage compartment? Ya know, the other day I was going 5 over the limit and one got me while sitting in a speed trap. I guess they dont have murderers to go catch or something... Ugh.. My tax dollars at work... Sheesh!!

Great strory Doug! Youre "in" now!!

Sounds like you've heard it all, Gary.

I live in a town that is notorious for its by-the-book traffic enforcement. That's fine by me, since everyone knows about it, you just have to drive accordingly. Well, one day I was in the 68 Charger and I wasn't driving accordingly - I realized I needed to turn left and I was in the far right lane, so I punched it and cut over three lanes to the turn lane. A motor unit rolls up to me and the guy says "That thing have turn signals?" Uh, yes sir, I tell him. "Well, you might think about using them so nobody hits that nice lookin' car you have there. Have a nice day"

You know, here's the funny thing about it. I knew I was dead in the water as far as getting a ticket, but he let me slide. Now, when I am out driving downtown (where all the enforcement is), I don't even break any laws, even minor ones. Why? Because I would feel like an *ass* after I got treated with some respect, you know, to turn around and drive like a goober. Weird how that works, huh?

Like someone said " we are people too ". I like their questioning " Did you see that black car ?" We have a job to do, some guys can take it a little too serious others are laid back I'm glad your encounter was with the latter. I read somewhere you need 3 things to be a good cop Compassion,Common Sense, and a Sense of Humor. Without these things you will go Nuts.... So with that said, Hey Gary Lets begin our " Duel Of the DOUGHNUTS!!!!!" You vs.Me ....Norwalk, in Sept.2004

Nice story. One of our local town officers is in our cruising club. He has a 69 GTO, but I'll forgive him. He'll even break the tires loose every once in a while. I don't expect any of us to get a ticket ever in town anyway.

I got a story also. This past weekend I am installing the brake and fuel hard lines on the Roadrunner. I am completely under the car when I hear the old familiar shout,"hey you want to sell that thing?". I get out from under the car,look up and it's a local town cop in his cruiser. He stops and we chat for about 45 minutes. Says he was looking for a b body. He has 2 Challengers but he really wants a b body. Nice guy. Sounds like they just want to getout of the Crown Vics and into some cool cruisin' machines like the rest of us.

Very cool story !!! Cops are people too.. lol
And, I know a few of them that are big car people.. One owns a '70 HEMI Challenger R/T 4-speed car...

Cool that they let the kiddos jump on the bikes as well,,, public relations at it's finest...

Troy

neat story. i love your car too
