Mine’s the almost the same, but without the lights, sirens, and the giant word “police” on the door
I’m going to pick up my “truck”. It’s an SUV, but some people call them trucks for some reason. The repair bill for this fucking truck is almost four thousand dollars. It’s horrible. My last truck was much more solidly built, I think. They were/are both ex police vehicles, but the new one isn’t quite as resilient it would appear. One of the reasons I bought it was because the last one didn’t wear out like a civilian version would have done.
This model was clearly built stronger
These things are built and classified as service vehicles, and the parts and components are supposed to be more durable. This new one a snowflake, but at least people will still get out of my way on the freeway when they see me coming, because it’s still a cop car. The downside is that they will slow down too, and that can be annoying if you want to get somewhere quickly.
I know it’s cheating but I don’t care. The amount of assholes who shouldn’t be on the roads is staggering. At least if they think you are the police, they do slow down and quit acting like lunatics for five seconds. Sometimes even the cops wave at me. I went out for lunch with Gary, my bass player friend one day and every cop car we passed gave us a wave.
Gary knows all about these things. He has owned cop cars in the past. He says you have to give a certain wave. It’s kind of discreet, and only cops do it. Gazza’s a bit crazy, but I like him. Sometimes he carries around a huge knife in his belt, and he always wears clothing that makes him look like a cop or someone from ICE or some kind of law enforcement dude.
This might be extreme, and could be kinda painful when you sit down.
It’s funny. The day all the cops waved at us was hilarious. It was almost like a competition to see if we could get a response, and we did every time. Gary said we should have told them that we were the district supervisors and to take the afternoon off. He was joking, of course. I’ve had cops pull me over for speeding in that SUV. It goes very fast. It’s one of the fastest cop cars ever made. One time a cop thought I was an undercover officer. I had to break it to him that, no I just bought the car from a guy who sells them about 100 miles up the road.
Another time a cop chased me for about five miles without any lights or sirens. I didn’t know who he was until I slowed down to take an exit and then he pulls me over with his lights on. He asked me why I was doing 85 in a 50 mph zone? I looked at him and said “because I can”. He couldn’t really argue with that. “just try and keep the speed down”, he sighed and walked away.
Gazza and the the boys Jammin’ in January this year.
