some guy on power trip funny story
i was driving down 695 our local expressway and this guy was going 40 in the fast lane in a dodge neon so i don't ride peoples butt cause i think thats stupid so i wait for an opening and go around him and take off on my way home from work. not thinking about him i look to check my rearview and i see a blue flashing light that i think is a cop behind the neon so i pull off the road. the neon pulled behind me, it was the neon with the blue flashing light. anyways the police around here have more and more differant type of cars to pull people over so i just figured it was a new car they were using. the guy gets up to my window "license and registration " " do you always drive that fast your going to killl somebody" i said "no " but i was only going about 75. i didn;t have my registration one me but i gaave him my license and insurance card . he says " i'll be right back" then walks half way to his neon and comes back and says slow it down from now on. i say ok and pull off. iget more suspicious thinking about this, he didn't give me any name id or badge or anything. i get home and call most of the local police and state trooper agencies and ask if they are using neons to pull people over they all say no, not to my surprise. so i think i got pulled over by a guy that was on a power trip and mad cause he had a little neon. anyways i know not to pull over for a neon without calling 911 first
