First realize that I am an old fart 73 years young with a full white beard, drive a stealth grey SE .I am at the light , a cop pulls up along side, shaved head ,bulging muscles wayfarer glasses. I stealthly turn my cap bill backward, rev the engine a couple times and look at him. He revs the squad and leans foreward. the light changes, he jumps like the roadrunner, I turn my cap around and motor sedately to the next light,all the time looking very innocent. my reward is a hearty grin and a hawiian good luck sign. next time I see him though........... :

 

That's funny!

 

LOL

 

Cant be in the commonwealth thats for sure! LOL good one

 

i guess its good that way, otherwise you would have been smoked by that cruiser

 

Nice.

One of the perks of being older.

 

that is priceless!!!! hopefully he will keep his good sense of humor next time.

 

pretty damn funny, dude!

 

reminds me of when i was in traffic with my brother in my old car, and stopped at a stop light. there was a car full of older citizens next to us, and I thought it would be funny to rev it a little to mess with them, so i did. i started to laugh until i heard them rev back.


i had to pull over when the light turned green....i alomost shitted myself!

 

Hawiian Good luck sign? whaddat?

 

thumb and little finger extended, the other three curled to the palm. now shake from the wrist side to side.
use to mean good pakalolo!

Man if I did somethimg like that(just revving my engine to a cop) Id probably get a large ticket for wreckless sitting or something.

 

I got pulled over for just that!

Wait... I was already pulled over...

For some reason, having the car in neutral around here is illegal.

 

That sucks

 

Rotaryryan What sucks???

 

He was talkling about getting pulled over for revving the engine I think...

 

I got pulled over for that too, cop called it exhibition of speed. I wasn't speeding but I gave the impression I could. WTF!!! He gave me a warning. That was in my younger days with my 300zx.. Now, I have daily driver Kia sportage (no impression of anything ) and an almost dead rx7 that will be an impression to be delt with lol

 

lol, thats awesome, course where I live if I did that i'd be pulled over in a second, cops don't seem to like me very much.

 

One time I was lined up against a blue Plymouth Sundance, or something of that nature, at a stop light. My point is the guy must have been 80. I glanced; he never looked over. He was looking straight ahead. I gunned it at green and he blew my doors off LOL.

 

Actually another version of the "hawian good luck sign" is simply giving someone the finger. The way it worked, ZI believe in WWII, the american soldiers in the japanese POW camps, would flip off all the japanese soldiers, and told them it was the "hawian good luck sign". They eventually found out what it really was, and supposidly there were screams all night long.

Its true! I saw it on the history channel.

 

i wish the cops around here were that cool. when i was 17 i got ARRESTED for spining my tires. i didn't even spin them that much either. just popped the cluch a little. he was just being a ***** trying to make an example i guess. what a loser.

 

oh yeah, you have to remember one thing about old people. they were young in the dawn of american muscle cars. if you are 70 now, then you were about 20 when cars like the corvette and thunder bird came out. back then all you needed was an old straight road and the race was on! they may have more drag racing experience than we know.

 

Yeah us OLD people used to race dirt track in the 40s, and knew how to make a flathead ford v8 fly. one more laugh , check out my bio. I get the feeling that the average age here is low thirties, the sign on my dash reads" midlife crisis cure" for when I get there. Bob

 

The scene... 8 AM, Sunday morning in late May. Sunny, the perfect day! Interstate 60 between Sharon and New Castle Pa. not another car on the road. Time for this old man (56) to open up the 7 and remove some carbon. just ready to let her fly when a PA state patrol enters from a ramp. down to 55 goes the speed. The cop followed me for about 2 miles.. then pulls me over.. lights flashing. couldn't figure what i was doing wrong. Cop comes up to me and ask what year the 7 was. told me he once had an 84...his favorite car! Ask what i had done to the engine.. told him just headers..ported ect. He was impressed! Then the shocker! He told me these cars weren't designed to be driven at 55 mphs.. i agreed.. but explained that i felt rather limited by his following me. He told me it was ok..not another cop before New Castle exit (15 miles), so i should ,in his words "just let her rip". He pulled off, making a u-turn, and i carefully followed his instructions!
