Got pulled over tonight.
He said " Do you know why I pulled you over? " " NO "
He said " Do you know the speed limit comming out of town? " " I was only doing 30 "
he said " Its 25 mph zone."
" Have you been drinking" " NO "
"What are you doing tonight?" " Driving around "
That was all normal things to ask.
He asked me to shut off the truck. He said it was to loud. It has a stock exhaust and is very quiet.
He asked " Where are your rocker panels?" " Home in a box " I said.
" Are those the stock gauges ?" "NO"
"Did you put that diesel in the truck?" "NO"
" Did you put the turbo on the truck?" "NO"
" How old is this thing?" " Its a 93"
" Oh, Im surprised it still runs."
" What mpg do you get?" " 15 " { actually about 10 }
"OK, have good night". "YUP"
They have grant money from the fedral government for OUI enforcement. They give moneys to the local police and they requir them to do OUI checks. The 5 mph over the limit gave him PC to pull me over and check for drinking. He found I was not and let me be.
I know they will pinch me for smoke some day. And also when the stacks go on.
