He cornered me in the parking lot of my grocery store and wanted to tell me that he loved the way my exhaust sounded when I downshifted to turn through a stop light! :biggrin: This might be the best experience I've ever had with a cop.

Hey Rob, are you a police officer? If so, which city? I never did ask you what your job was when I saw you at the pavilions! :biggrin:orbusrex said:Hey, we like nice cars too... just takes a little longer to save for 'em!!
Well here its almost extortion. The police have come to rely on ticket revenue710 said:I moved here from the States years ago, it really is driving heaven here (Europe). It’s a very rare event to get pulled over by the police; I’ve only seen it happen about 5 times in 15 years (excluding my 2 times…). Even seeing a cop is a relatively rare experience.

"Sorry to hijack the thread, but I have a funny story!
The other night my mom came home from work, (I am 20 years old and attend college. I am probably the youngest NSX owner, or one of them.) She's a supervisor at the local hospital, so when an incident happens, she has to deal with the police and fill out reports. The other night she came home and said she overheard the police talking about cars kids drive today. Being my mom, she jumped into the conversation and bragged about her son's car. She calls it a 'fancy sports car.' She was shocked to learn the police know who I am because they had a 'lookout'; almost an investigation of me during the summer. The police realized their suspect was a an older man rather than some kid. They were checking for drugs, and in doing so, followed me. My mother straightened it out, and told them I definitely was not a drug dealer, and that I am a good kid.
Wow. I knew the NSX could attract attention, but damn, I didn't realize it could get you into something like that.
By the way, the police thought my car was a Ferrari."
You wouldn't be an English major would you?

it's a *free* board, nitwit, get over yourself.Dtrigg said:I am sorry folks, but now I have hijacked this thread, it really makes me angry and disgusted that we have to put up with this crap. For God's sake do we really have to translate what some idiot is trying to convey? Where in the world do these morons come from?
These people profess that they are college students! Well, I feel like moving back to Europe and short selling my US equities.
As some of you know, I taught business courses at night to undergraduate and graduate business students, in addition to my regular job. I always told my students that the most important item they could ever develop was the ability to communicate, both in a verbal and written format.
Sorry to vent, but this is a special board, and we are beyond that, including the vulgarity.
