Took a ride with my wife last weekend and stopped at a Starbucks after having a somewhat fast ride through a nearby rural valley. I was approached by a county police officer offering to trade vehicles with me. I told him I could have some fun in his cruiser and he replied that it wouldn't be as much fun as he could have in my Cobra. Another officer pulled up and both were admiring my ride and asking questions etc. I told the first officer to give me a call when he was off duty and I'd give him a ride. He wrote my name and number on the back of his card and gave me one of his. He remarked that this card might be a "get out of a ticket pass" if used discretely. I thanked him and he asked where we'd been riding. I told him and said there are a couple of good Cobra roads in the valley at which point he said that now would be a good time to run them again since no one (ie he and his partner) would be there to notice. I've heard of instances where police officers will stop a Cobra only to see it. That has never happened to me but this visit will live in my memory for quite a while.
