out for a cruise tonight, just me n' couple of close friends here there and everywhere in calgary enjoying the nice warm night. mid cruise we parked in a small lot downtown and a police officer rolled up in his explorer...we were all preparing for the kinda usual stuff...but this guy was really cool. we've had cops who've gone off the deepend and dinged us as much as they could, and even slandered our vehicles...:confused:
but yea, this guy was really nice and actually we all had a cool convo with him about how he used to be a real gearhead and even touched on his current project, and his kids' project cars and talked for a good 20 mins asking about our cars and talking about his past works. he just wanted to see what was up and politely just kinda reminded us not to go wrapping ourselves around any lamp posts and trees and such and keep out of troublein a genuinely concerned way....was really nice to run into a nicer officer. that gets through i think a lot better than the usual ' here's your a$$ rape in tickets, have a nice night friggin punk kids'
i mean i know not all cops are like him and not all are assholes and many have due reason to be hard on youth in modded cars
but i just wanted to post on this officer in particular, he really was a chillin guy...and kinda neat hearing about a cop who had the same passion as the rest of us and could level with the hobby and love of the road :thumbsup: made the cruise that much better...along with that turbo-ed SR20 240sx (i think;) i need to brush up on my nissans) that went by...could listen to that BOV all night long:D :drool:
