RE: Interceptor
I was had.......
On the way to the GM Nationals in Carlisle PA... I was driving towards the fairgrounds when I looked in my rear view mirror and saw this Chevy Caprice with a shaker hood and twin spotlights on each side of the windshield some 2-300 yards and closing. As I stopped at a traffic light this car stops behind me... I notice the bubble in on the dash and see the driver on a walkie-talkie. I say to my wife check this cop put behind me in his Interceptor, looks to me like he's running a make on us. I then hear him gunning the throttle and hear a loud rumble. He is doing this over and over again.... I said, this a$$hole is baiting me. He's dying for me to gun it, or get on it so he can nail me.
So the light changes and off we go, all the while he is gunning it and tauting me. I look close and see 3 heads in the car, I tell my wife this ain't right. I then figured..... A show car.
As I pull into the registration building I see the Interceptor go past. As my wife and I are checking out the cars I come across this car and the owner. Laughing I tell him who I thought he was and was trying to get me to launch. He tells me while he is laughing, he was gunning the car to agitate of the car behind him. His buddy tells me the owner of the car is always playing with others this way.
The car was in pristine shape and had all the official looks of an in service Interceptor. I noticed several others at the show as well.
