"Excuse me sir...Trade a woman for your car!"
Yes. That happened yesterday.
The only thing that made it worth posting on here was because it was from a cop.
I was running errands yesterday in Atlanta on the east side of town (not far off of 85)...had dropped a pair of glasses off to be repaired and when the guy said, "I'll have these ready in 45" I was shocked and needed to kill some time. So I found a Jason's Deli in a nearby strip mall and figured that would eat up the time.
Park the car. See two cops walking behind me. Get out....
"SIR!!" (Him)
"Uhhh...Yes?" (Me)
"That is one Good Looking car" (Him)
Sigh..."Why Thank you! I uh.." (Me)
"I'll trade you her for that car..." (Him)
I looked at her and said...actually...I didn't say anything because she was a 230 lb female cop and I knew nothing I said would be a winning scenario...
And here's where I pretty much just start laughing and heading in to get my sandwich.
They kept talking but I knew with what she was saying and what he was adding there was no benefit to me or their relationship.
I love the fact that tomorrow night my car will be lined up right in the front of the restaurant we're going to eat at because with the little upgrades we learn about on here and do to our cars...every one else literally thinks they're newer than the new.
(And yes...bash my grille some more until you see it in person - my flame suit is on)

Whoa. Grille comments coming from someone who actually put those 5.5 badges on the side of his car? I was surprised when I saw them at AutoZone and even more surprised when I started seeing people put them on their Tauruses right next to the fake exhaust ports they stuck on.
Ouch. Just shows ... to each his own. I like my grille. :-)

In GA one can carry a pistol with a permit and drive a car w/o plates, just to name a few privileges that would get you arrested in NJ, not to mention the general lack of speed enforcement in this state

I actually like the grille, but not enough to pay and swap out my stock one.
with that said, if I bought my car with one like that on it already [as you did], I would leave it too.

I had a 102 reading ticketed at 89 let off with no points and $250 in Sandy Springs on 400. 'Course that was just before the superspeeding law. I probably would have been arrested in NJ
The state trooper per square mile in NJ is vastly larger than that of GA. NJ State Police has 4300 employees while GA State Patrol has like 1300. GA is something like 59,000 square miles, NJ is 8700, so NJ has 22 times the density of troopers than GA. That's a police state and they're very zealous

Can't believe I am saying this but... Usually that style grill makes me wanna grab the bottle from the young kid in Unforgiven and start drinkin and hurting folks, but there is something about this one. It's not half bad.
