Re: A "first" when stopped by DPS last night

I drive a very nicely kept 1987 Porsche 944 Turbo - it's not my daily driver...it's 25 years old with barely 70k miles on it.

I was driving in the middle of a pack of cars going around 5 or so over on a street with stop lights every quarter to half mile in rush hour type traffic.

At one point I look in my rear view and see this motorcycle cop weaving in and out of the traffic to catch up with me and blinks his lights, so I pull over into a Walgreen's parking lot.

First question he asks me is "What year is it?". :( I play along and when he finally asks me for my ID/insurance and I hand him both my ID and CHL. He proceeds to ask if I was carrying and I was not. He asks when was the last time I got a ticket - I replied at least five years ago. He then asks me another half dozen questions about my car, which I answer politely and he proceeds to go back to his putt-putt and write me a ticket for 5 over. At that point, I was like what the heck - and I told him that I saw him way before he saw me and that I was in the middle of a pack of cars and was keeping up with the traffic to which he replied, "Well, that's what happens when you drive the fast car...".

My sister-in-law is an attorney and I told her the story. Long story short, got off scott-free on that one.
