Got pulled over after prom
So i went home to get changed to go to a friends house. After pulling on to 202 see lights behind me. IO check my speedo and it says i was doing 41/42 , the speed limit was 40. So ipull over and the cop was cool I gave hijm my documentation (along with a PBA card). He said he pulled me over for touching the yellow lines :rolleyes: Luckily i knew him from Oakland Pizza and he let me go. He was probably lookin for dui's.

He asked me who gave me this car...I told him i bought it my self from working since freshman year.

Hell, no one even assumes the vette is my car. It's always "Are you takin' good care of daddy's baby?" I've got used to it. Doesn't bother me too much anymore

Re: Got pulled over after prom (DCTC)
Haha, when people say "Daddy bought you the nice car and you can't even take care not to get a ticket from a cop" will be the day I bust a cop right in the freakin face. (my dad died two years ago from lung cancer and didn't help me get the vette..I got it ALL ON MY OWN{the way I wanted it}) Haha, I HAVE heard "Don't worry daddy will buy you a new one" when I got into a wreck in my 85...I really wanted to bust the cops...but there were too many to take down. :mad
I've actually heard "Take home mommies car" LOL! I dunno why they would think my MOM bought me this bad boy. :lol:

People who have never looked into buying a corvette don't have any idea how much they cost and tend to assume they are a lot more expensive than they actually are.
Funny thing is that even with an LT4, my neighbors have a lot more in their daily driver POS cars and they still give me a hard time. It is just part of owning a corvette, get used to it.

Touching the lines? I'm no fan of DUI (fact is stupidity dramatically outweighs the mortality that should be associated with it) but that sounds a lot like harassment. I'm getting pretty tired of that whole 'probable cause' mentality. With all the laws on the books now, I'm probably committing a handful of felonies as I sit here reading posts. Does that mean 'the man' should be able to come snooping because he thought I might be? Good thing you walked without a ticket, but IMHO, if there wasn't a legit violation, he shouldn't have been messing with you in the first place.
BTW; between the car and the monkey suit, you've got a whole James Bond kinda thing goin' there. I say stick with it. :)

Re: Got pulled over after prom (OcalaGuy)
Thats no biggie. I had to leave my vette all alone in the parking lot at the prom, and ride with my date to a party in someone elses car :crazy:
Blown head gaskets suck! :yesnod:
Also, when we finished eating and on the way to the prom, I had a dead battery. :rolleyes: The dang alternator wouldn't charge it up.
