Well, at least I know it looks fast...

A friend and I had just stopped by a Hollywood video, and pulled out of the parking lot into the left turn lane, to make a U-turn back home. In the other turn lane, to the right of us, pulls a dark blue/purple (it was dark) Firebird. Then a second later, up pulls a cop right to the side of me, flashing his lights. I look around, not seeing anything, wondering if he is flashing me because I don't have any plates on yet. So I lean over (I had done my friend a huge favor and let him drive 1 block :D) and ask the officer if there was a problem.

The cop thinks we've been racing this Firebird! I was like woah officer...we just pulled out of Hollywood right there! So he continues to ask different questions, blah blah...until finally I grab the bag with the sodas/videos in it as proof. So he left us alone finally.

But at least I know it LOOKS fast

Get used to it, i go to car meetups all the time and i get targeted all the time. I had an accord before my 8 and i never got any harassment during a break up. But now that i have my 8 i get targeted all the time. I was at a meetup and the cops came to break it up so i got in my car and started to drive off. two seconds after i pulled out of my parking spot i see lights so i pll over. He slaps a 145 dollar ticket on me for not having my headlights on. lol
