I was profiled and pulled over today (and Saturn battery update)

After wrestling with the battery for the Saturn I posted about, I headed out to the post office to ship some packages. On the way there, I was pulled over. Wasn't doing anything wrong, going just under the speed limit behind another car.
He pulled out of his spot, and followed me for about a half mile, then lit me up.

I pulled over, and when he approached, I asked him if there was a problem. He said not really, so I asked why I was puled over.
He told me "I saw the long hair"

I handed him my license, he looked at it for about three seconds, gave it back, and left.

WTF?


I did manage to get the battery fixed, by the way. It seems than GM had EPOXIED the threads that hold the stupid bolt INTO the terminal. We had to hammer a razor and screwdrivers through the lead block that ripped out of the battery, peel the lead block off in pieces, then use a large socket on the retaining nut buried inside the block, and another wrench to counter it.

Who's bright idea was that???
