Good Cop
I was driving out to Conyers today to get some parts for the car my dad is restoring (1964 Comet Cyclone). I was on I-20 and there was construction and the road was marked with solid white lines. As all the good drivers out there understand, this means do not change lanes. As most people absolutely suck behind the wheel, no one was paying attention to this. I noticed a silver MX-6 zipping through traffic and he ended up about 3 inches off of my bumper. He was stuck because we were going past a big line of trucks. Once we cleared the construction and the trucks I went for the wide open inside lane and this twit punched it and got right behind the next person ahead of him. I watched him do this and weave through traffic until he was out of site.
I get to my exit and it has two left hand turn lanes. I go for the left most lane and notice this kid is in the right hand turn lane. I’m slowing down to take my position behind a stopped pickup truck when the dude in the MX-6 decides it is a good time to move into my lane. I jammed on my brakes (Thank you Mr. Brembo) and steered the car partly onto the left shoulder (Thank you Mr. Mitsubishi and Mr. Yokohama) and hit the horn. When I got the car stopped it was so close, and with the vibrations due to the ABS and the engine lugging, that I thought that he may have actually hit me. I looked at him and he looked at me. I undid my belt to get out to take a look. At this point who should pop out of the truck? A Conyers (I think) cop. The dude was big and he looked pissed. He walks over to the kid in the MX-6 and starts to lay into him. “Are you out of your mind? Do you know what you almost did?” The kid just sinks into his seat. The cop looks at me and asks, “Did he hit your car?” I say, “No, everything looks ok.” And then he turns back to the kid and lets go with round two, “I saw how you were driving back there! You almost drove three cars off the road, not once did I see a signal when you were changing lanes and you were going way too fast. Did you ever stop to think what could have happened? Are you stupid?...” At that point I got back in my car and gave a little wave to the officer. The cop went back to his truck and the kid backed his car out of my lane so I could get mine back on the road. I rolled up to him and he wouldn’t even look at me. He just covered his eyes with his hands. He pulled into the gas station at the corner (to clean his shorts I think) and that was the last I saw of him.
It just goes to show, that once in a very blue moon there is an officer around when you want one.

Glad to hear that everything went ok!
Haha, I wish I could have been there to see it.A cop just gave someone a sobriety test in front of my appartment. My roommate and I just pulled up chairs on the patio and watched. This kid looked so young too... I'm surprised he even had a drivers lisence...

My Mustang is red. Here is a thread with a picture of it:

The white with the blue stripes is a nice look on the car. You have to respect the US national racing colors. I wonder if anyone has tried it on the Evo?
