I just got home from driving to the dealership to pick up an organizer for the trunk (can't have my groceries bouncing around back there). While I was driving there I was taking it easy and just staying with traffic not paying attention to my speed. Suddenly I notice in my rear view mirror a cop making a u-turn and catching up to me really fast. All I could think was how glad I was that I wasn't playing around. But as soon as he was behind me the lights came on. Crap! I knew this car was trouble but I was taking it easy. Well, I turned onto a side street, pulled over and turned the car off.

Now I've learned in the 44+ years of my life that being nice gets you much more than having an attitude. So when the cop waked up to my window I politely asked him how he was doing. The first thing that came out of his mouth was "nice car". I instantly knew this wasn't going to be too bad. I asked him how fast I was going, explaining I wasn't really paying attention and just pacing the minivan next to me. I was going 53 in a 40. Eeek! The police here are pretty tough when it comes to tickets. So I was hoping he would at least reduce it and I could take defensive driving and get the ticket waved.

After checking my license and proof of insurance he came back and told me he was giving me a warning. Then spent the next 20 minutes talking to me about the car. He was a gear head and loved the car. We talked about what the car had, my plans for it and the story about how I got it. He was really cool about the whole thing.

I've never been given a warning when I was going that much over the limit. Yeah, this car is trouble but it's not all bad.

On the plus side, while getting gas, a guy in a 90's T-Bird yells I LOVE YOUR CAR. Then he asks when did they start making the Boss again? I said 4 months ago.
See that's the problem. People in tis thread mentioned the Boss as a halo car but they dont advertiser it like they should I think.

At a thrift shop today and saw this. It must have been white at some point but I think someone threw it in with reds - it was pink.

It's reassuring to know that I am not the only guy who does stuff like this. I also go for apexes with the cart in the grocery store :-)

Oh you are not alone. I've shopped at the same crappy grocery store for 8 years since they have an awesome downhill slope leading from the store into the parking lot. Two skateboard kicks and you can ride the cart the 80 feet or so right to your car.

My lawn mower is Race Red with black stripes and I'm constantly calculating radii in my head mowing the two 100+ yard long lawns.

My Boss moment of the day was yesterday on the way to the tank tour I ran a stop sign. In front of two cops. Who were busy writing tickets for others who just ran it. Totally unfamiliar road and my friend points to the right saying something so I glance that way. Don't see anything but looking straight there's a van turning right so he's driving right at the STOP sign so I never did see it. My friend starts screaming my name, not stop so there's another half sec gone by before I hit the brakes at the line and stop in the middle of the intersection.

Showed my car to my sister today. She said: "This is such a 'Manmobile' that I grew a p*n*s just looking at it." A moment of silence from me as I ask myself, "Did I really just hear that?" then hysterical laughter ensued. :P
