Default "Fake" Cop

This ever happen to you? Late last night, while driving home from work, I spied a slammed, ground-effected, rear-deck-wing-to-heaven foreign jobber. He was sitting at an interection waiting for action - I made my left turn, he followed me --> well, it was late, my feet were "heavy" with fatigue, I was doing 70 b4 too long - all of a sudden, I see blue flashing lights in the rearview - the fart can lover had installed some blue flashers in the front grill! Soo, I let him "catch up", then floored it again and watched those fake blues fade away!

Where's the love, baby?

Hope you called Gilbert PD! East Valley's been having a rash of "fake cop" robberies. If not call them and give them the best description of the vehicle that you can.

Eddie44, I'll call them right now - I knew impersonating a cop was a bad scene - but the thought of that a$$wipe pulling someone over and doing some harm - time to stop that! Thanks for the tip, Bro.

Got to love the fart cans-NOT! I was cruising home from work tonight on the freeway and this fart can gets right next to me like he wants some, like I'm going to waste fuel and risk a ticket for his lame azz. I love the Vette, just knowing you can blow the doors off most is enough for me.
I almost forget IBTL or whatever.
