i wasnt driving my car when i got the best compliment on my vert. my dad was driving it cause i needed the truck, and he had stopped to put gas in it, and he told me the guy on the opposite side of the pump kept starring at it, then glancing away. finally he steps around the pump and asks my dad:

"what kind of ferrari is this?"

That was a mistake. You should never get that stuff out before the officer comes to your window. It makes officers uneasy if you reach below you (wallet) and into the glovebox (registration/insurance).

Wait until he asks for them then tell him where they are and that you're going to get them.

Actually, it wasn't a mistake. Not only have I been told by several different police officers (inner city and county) that being prepared is better than making the officer ask and wait but every-single-time that I've had my information in hand for the officer without question I've walked away with nothing or a warning.

Besides, there is a visual different between rummaging through the vehicle frantically and calmly opening the center console to pull out your paperwork.

Not too mention that if it was a mistake the (at least) 5 or so times I've done that I would've been told by the officer that I shouldn't have.

I understand your point, but I'll take their word over yours.

thats not always true....when i got a reckless driving ticket a few months back i waited till he got to my door to get all the stuff and he then started yelling at me about how he didnt have time for me to start getting all my insurance and license now that he had walked up and that i should have already had it out.....a week before my court date he got fired for refusing to take a drug test.....i guess that would explain why he was such an *******

honestly it depends on the officer and where you are when i got pulled over i reached for my things before the officer got there and he told me to not do that and to wait for him just for safety reason and the second time i got pulled over (different officer) thanked me for it

riverzendz

Very true.

I suppose. Sadly, it also depends on your ethnicity.

You'd be surprised on the clever ways officers have been injured when approaching cars. Hence why they part with a headlight blinding your side view at night, to help conceal their exact position as they approach the car. It's harder to whip around and aim a gun at a cop that way. It's also not uncommon for a cop to gently brush the trunk with their hand as they go by, just to make sure that it is closed. No surprise that people have jumped out with a knife or worse.

While it does depend on the cop you're dealing with, the best course of action is to put both wrists on the steering wheel until they ask for your license and registration card, or rest them on the window sill. It makes them feel more comfortable then if, as My5Ababy said, rummaging around.

another good one i thought of, all that cams stuff reminds me. i pulled up to the local krogers one day (to get some milk) and this girl pulled up next to me and asked me to race. she was driving an old grand am AT, my friend and i started laughing and her friend said back "shes better then u think, she hasnt lost a race yet" so i said "better then we think?????? its an AT how much skill is involved?" she replies " i KNOW my car is faster then yours, its all about the cams and my car has twin cams ill bet urs is single so u wouldnt even stand a chance" i said none but id race her when we got out of the store, and she said "u cant race me if u dont have any cams" so i said "alright ill go home and get some out of my garage" then she floored it and did like 2 circles around the parking lot and came back up front when we were walking in and she gave me the finger and tried to burn out. that bitch was crazy

Mr.Clah

I was at NAPA picking up some spark plugs, after typing around on his computer he asks "It's a 4cyl right?" I paused for a moment and said "sure" didnt have the heart to embarrass him in front of his NAPA buddies.

Another time at same NAPA different employee. getting spark plugs not for me though. The guy then began to talk to me and my friend about how fun the cars are and he used to have one.(a first gen) Then he insisted that it needed 8 yes 8 spark plugs it took a moment of explaining but he still thought they needed 8 spark plugs. Then he said "Maybe its just in the older ones."

I've had good luck buying spark plugs, guy even knew to get get me 2 leading and 2 trailing.

I dont know where your at.. but here in vegas a cop will shoot you for reaching into your glove box before he gets there.. especially with all the officer involved shootings here in the last year. i carry a .45 semi auto on me all the time so If a cop stops me.. my hand stay in visual range of the cop at all times until he approaches my car and I can let him know i have my gun.

Last year one of my friends dad had a handgun on him at a grocery store (he had a CFP of course). Someone seen the bottom of it in the store and called the police. as he was leaving the store the police were pulling up.. had him at gunpoint. he said he had a gun and he had a CFP, he went to reach for the CFP and the cops shot him dead. All he went to do was go out and buy some stuff for dinner. :?

i think the best thing to do is **** with people at auto parts stores. heres a scenario:

AZ: Hi this matt how can i help you?
me: yeah im looking for some high compression pistons for my 1987 Mzada Rx7
AZ: ok let me look...............We dont seem to have any in stock let me check the other stores...........none of the other stores seem to have any either
me: hmm thats no good, well can you check the catalog to see if you even carry any?
AZ: sure h/o
me: ok, sure(now im holding back my giggles)
AZ: (5min later) sir, i dont think we carry those for your car. you might try another auto parts store.
me: ok ill try, oh and do you guys carry head gaskets for the same car?
AZ: ill look it up

so i wait the i hear the chattering in the back ground about what the dudes looking for and i hear, Oh my god, stop looking and hang up, just hang up.click!"

i love it.

I bought some spark plugs from autozone one time.. and the guy took em out to show them to me and thought they were broken cause they didnt need to be gapped..

and I got my 87 GXL a couple years ago from a guy that insisted the car wouldnt start because the head gasket was blown. bought it for 200. it was in mint condition and so was the interior. took it home.. and it was flooded.. unflooded it and it started right up and ran fine.

ivegonemad

hey!!!! man i drive a 240 too!! the new civics lol..but wat i got from my teacher (so he says he worked for mazda) he said that rotary's are trash motors, and said i should just just get rid of it...also a kid at school gave me a wierd look saying "wtf u have in there?? a lawnmower?"

I went to register my car...
Me - I need to register my car, here is the title.
Registrar - Okay, how many cylinder's does it have.
Me - It has two rotors.
Registrar - No, I mean the pistons, how many pistons?
Me - It doesn't have pistons, its a rotary engine, it only has rotors.
Registrar - (Pause)


Registrar - How many spark plugs do you have?
Me - 4.
Registrar - (Writes down, 4 cyclinder.)

ya, i like the idea of F%^%ing with people like that at the auto store place. i was just there. i was buying spark plugs, i told the guy that it had 2 different types of spark plugs, he kinda looked at me funny, and i told him "rotary engines have 2 trailing, 2 leading" explained to him in detail that my trailing coil and iginiter went out ($750 problem fixed for 12 rockstars ) and he asked me, "wait..........how many cylindars again?"
i was dumbfounded
went to another kragens and THAT guy just said "rotary, here are the trailing (even wrote it on the boxes) and the leading (again with the writing)"
some people are SOOOO dumb

peace
