yup, get it all the time
funny anecdote,
so I drove the duster out to the store the other day and as I'm walking back out, I am walking many 20 feet behind this couple
just far enough to be able to make out half of the conversation
as luck would have it, they walked past the duster, and then took a sharp left around it to get to their car
I can see them looking at it, and I hear him say something, but im too far off to hear what he said
whatever he said, I could hear her reply loud and clear
she said "its a duster"
the guy just stops, looks at her and goes "how could you possibly know that?"
and she, with her chipper little voice, goes, "says so on the front"
that made my day
ok, one more anecdote
i caught a pretty cool cop the other day ...about 11 at night, quiet street cutting through an industrial turf on my way home
2 lanes, 1 light
im in the fast lane, some import is in the slow lane
when the light turns green i start to go, not racing mind you, just pulling out
well, you know this thing people sometimes do, where they pace you, and your not really racing but your not letting the other car pass?
well, he did that to me
so at about 45 MPH i had enough of it, and i stepped on it
1.5 seconds later, at 75 MPH i let off, and the moment i let off, the cop behind me lit me up
so i pulled over, killed the engine, turned the dome light on and put my hands on the wheel
he came over and asked if i had a drivers license
i said, i do, but im not gonna reach for it with that 9MM laying (i keep it under the armrest)
when he asked if it was loaded i managed to refrain from explaining they would be rather pointless otherwise and simply said "off course"
he ran my license and CPL and throughout the whole deal i of course was very polite (as always) and the cop must have appreciated that because he let me off with a warning
now, if you ever been let off with a warning before, you know it ALWAYS comes with a sermon (or so im told, i never get pulled over)
so, the sermon went something like this:
Son, what you are not getting a ticket for is reckless driving
if you get on it hard enough to go sideways...and i was behind you, you were s-i-d-e-w-a-y-s...that is considered reckless driving
and then he tells me, your driving an orange duster, if you acting out you WILL get noticed
