I thought I would share this with the group lol.

I was in 7-11 getting my Cafe con Leche , when a white Broward County Traffic Homicide Charger (3.5L Chris LOL) pulls into 7-11 and parks right next to my car and walks in and in a very loud tone says ...

"WHOS CHALLENGER ???"

I was standing at the register dressed in wrinkled cloths and somewhat dirty shoes (I am not big on fashon at all I could care less if my shoes are old or my shirt is a little off white) , and I turn to him and say

ME : Oh , that's mine !
OFFICER : It's yours ....
ME : Yep my dad got it for my 21st Bday.
OFFICER : Your dad got it for you .... (scarcastic)
ME : Yep , SRT-
OFFICER : You dad paid a 20k markup for that thing ? When the Camaro comes out it won't even be worth 20k peroid(reffering to my challenger).
ME : I said no he didn't pay 20k over it was only 9 over

That's it.

This guy apparentley didn't like the fact I had this car maybe it's because i'm 21 and the tattoos everywhere didn't impress him (which shouldn't , they were mistakes made through my teenagerhood)

BUT WOW DID I FEEL LIKE A MILLION BUCKS AFTER THAT ENCOUNTER !!! IT'S THE BEST ATTENTION I EVER GOT !!!

What a jerk. You took that pretty well I think. I might have gotten arrested for 'contempt of cop'.

I had a similiar incident with a cop in Pinal County, AZ. He pulls in behind me at a local gas station while I'm filling up and

Cop: Is that a new Challenger

Me: Yes it is

Cop: that's a limited edition so what number is it

Me: 904

Cop: How did you get one?

Me: What?

Cop: I thought only the the very well to do would get LE version

Me: I'm doing ok

Cop: so where do you work.

Me: Where I work has nothing to do with this car I pay for it out of my retirement check.

Cop: Retirement, you're not old enough to be retired

Me: Officer while your mother was changing your diaper and walking you to school I was standing on the front line of freedom at places like the Fulda Gap and the DMZ. I earned the right to drive this car and I have the financial means to do so. Have a great day

Cop: You too and thanks for your service.

I see him all the time and he just waves.

"I thought only the the very well to do would get LE version" He hasn't met me.

All I've gotten from cops is two who yelled "great car!" while driving alongside in a Crown Victoria squad car and one who asked me if that was my 09 out in the lot when my wife and I were at the Pizza Hut (we were about the only customers, so it was fairly obvious). I said yeah, and he, too said, "Great car!" Of course, it helps when you look like The Man....
