Last night out in front of my house, there were 3 patrol cars behind a ricer and they were tearing him and the car down throughly for about an hour. It just so happened that at about the same time the tow truck was arriving to load up the poor kids car, I was ready to fire the Cobra for the first time since it went to the body shop 10 months ago. I rolled her into the driveway as to not blow the blast media all over my garage (newly blasted/coated exhaust), turned on the electrical, and hit the starter. It fired right up, in its usual loud glory note, and I let it come up to temperature while checking for leaks (recently redid the intake). Happy with what I saw, I backed it out of the driveway, took off down to the corner, filled it with gas, and drove it back just in time to see the tow rig driving away with the ricers ride. 1 cop and the owner of the Honda were still standing curbside.
So then I shut it off and heard, "Oh that's just great, this dude can drive a god damn funny car and you don't give a sh!t!". The cop replied - "Looks like you bought the wrong car huh? By the looks of that, I'd say he's smog exempt under the SB-100 law." To which, I smiled and nodded.
