Just trying to keep up.

Post by Pitchy »

Traffic Cop: You were doing 120 MPH in an 80 MPH zone.

Me: Just trying to keep up with the traffic officer.

Traffic Cop: There is no other traffic on the road.

Me: I know, that is how far behind I am.

Many years ago I had a Pinto ...
I was trying to get Tucson as fast as I could. Coming down 89 from Florence I was going through some hills. As I came around a curve I passed a radar cop and saw he got me. Around another curve and there was the chase car. I slowed down and pulled over and stopped before he got rolling much. The Officer walked up and said, "We got you at 87 mph. Why were you doing 87?"
I said, "I was doing 87 because it was wide open and would not go any faster!"

It ended with him giving me a 5 mph over ticket which was really nice of him.

In Houston, the traffic is going 20 or 30 mph above the posted limit every time I go there. That is the only place I ever felt as is I was going to be hit from behind while I was speeding.

Once upon time Pop thought those pintos were the best cars ever.....

We had a '74 and '75, almost identical for him and mom and the eldest sister got a '76 when she started driving.

We drove that '74 until 1986 when it kaputed on I-20 in or around atlanta. It wasn't even worth the cost of a tow so whoever was driving it just abandoned there.

Yeah, I had a Pinto too. Bought it from a friend with a salvage. I'd just had a Vega that would almost get 40 mpg if you tried real hard. That Pinto got 38 with three fat sisters and all their kids in it. Didn't matter how you drove it either.
