As I have gotten older, I have noticed that I am quite a bit older than most cops.

Most cops to me, are just kids. Naive and stupid. I support the po po and show my respect but I do not think most of them are trained to the level of Jedi Master...many of them are just bullies who think it is you who is stupid.

this always cracks me up - when l lived in NYC, I was pulling into Manhattan after work to go home getting off the Williamsburg Bridge when a cop on a horse chased me down to give me a no seat belt ticket. due to the after work traffic, he got me

Another time on my 30th Bday, I was having drinks with my boss at some Irish Bar in the East Village. I was poor and he was buying Patron shots. I must have had 20 of them. My boss was a big time law firm partner/owner and suggests we go out on the sidewalk and smoke a joint...ok great except we did this in front of two undercover cops sitting in an unmarked car who arrested the both of us, handcuffs behind the back and all....coulda just let me go as it was my birthday and I was on foot causing no trouble.....the funny part of this looking back is I was so drunk I had to not crawl but slither like an iguana with no back legs about 20 blocks down the sidewalk on Broadway at 5am back to my apartment. My boss got us out of that one RIP Kevin

I have quite a few cop stories from my younger days

What a **** show we live in . Its best not to divulge a lot if any info . They lie, and are sneaky and are trained at it . Jedi Masters , playing nice trying to get you to spill the beans on yourself

When I got pulled over in my old truck and run through the ringer this winter , I was trying to explain to the guy, that my main truck had broken down that day , and I grabbed the back up truck , which had been sitting all winter .
He really really wanted to ring my bell for having an expired inspection sticker, one light bulb out, and he didnt like where I had my plate mounted . When his back up showed up, this guy was even worse, and wanted me out of service and towed .
I tried to explain twice, politley , and you could tell he was having nothing of it , so I finally just said, " well, do what you have to do " , and quit talking or being nice .

She's had a "decent" career in B-grade movies and TV shows (example: Haloween III, One episode of Fish in 1978.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacey_Nelkin



That's her in yellow top.

In Haloween III she appeared nude. I loaded in "Nude Miss Ellie Grimbridge" (her character) into google and shifted to Images with Safe Search off. I was mortified.

I'll will never do that again. Although in the top five set of twins of all time, please don't.

Here ya go, Fred......

I promised the wife i wouldn't build another drift car - so I'm building something for all of the family instead!

In 2022 we built the worlds first rotary powered corvette drift car but didn't have time to document the build. This time we are doing it again but taking you along for the ride. Stay tuned for our build series where we turn this old family wagon into the ultimate swedish drift car
