If 'corvette people' are the biggest worry of that police force either theres too many cops in your town or maybe too many hoodlems with vettes.

It's no worse than being called "You People" when generalizing about Corvette owners...

Besides, he may have broken the law, but the cop made a Snide comment. Which unless I'm mistaken "Snide Comments" aren't part of the Standard Operating Procedure when writing a ticket...

I leave my front tag on - cause i don't think it makes it look *that* much better...

Marines have taken a liking to the term "jarhead" AFAIK....LEO's have never taken a liking to being called "pigs"


as far as any snide comments made by the LEO...unless you were there you have only heard 1 side of the story
