attn jeff95ta.

how did you like my new car? :slight_smile:

I probably wouldn’t even have payed attention but the car caught my attention. Didn’t seem like a good time to wave and say what’s up. :slight_smile: Unfortunately I don’t know any of the police.

well, for the record here is what happens. leave the garage, make the right onto the bridge. as im doing so i pass a cop. he sees i have no sticker. i say to sonny/val-- he is coming after me. so go slow–dont see him.

keep driving slow and by dry cleaners, pick up an idiot on my ass in a crx. keep goin slow. see no cop.

by this time, im on 136, and honda asshole is on my ass. so i play dick and go even slower. probaly doing 35 at this point.

then i see lights in my side view. cop hauling ass trying to pass 4 cars total (me being the 4th and head car). im thinking emergency ahead of me, so pull off to the right on the shoulder. this is right by a sharp left hand bend that is blind. i can see the oncoming traffic, cop cant. a car is coming, im thinking oh shit head on collision.

instead asshat gets up then cuts off the crx and gets behind me off the road to effectively pull me over. im like wtf. you couldnt wait a little further to hit your lights to do this somewhere more safe. I even offered to pull some where safer, he declined.

so he comes up asking about my sticker, i say dealer plate is on the car which he failed to notice. he takes my license to run it.

as he walks away from the car, sonny goes-- “isn’t this where jeff lives”. i go im not sure, i think so. as soon as i say that, here you come around the bend. minute later cop comes back and i go my merry way.

cool car

zack01gc wiill be drooling…another older car to expensive to maintain lol

That looks sharp. But I now it can’t be a DD For you! At least not a work commuter…

Seen that the other day, location escapes my mind. cool indeed, did not even the notice the driver. :cool:

my vote is to usae to pull the cabby!!

looks pretty decent shape

awesome

probably seen it. got it friday. car was from moon. after i picked it up, took it to work, then drove to ambridge to follow a customer who had 2 cars at my work, then to sq hill to get val so he could drive my civic home. so i drove the piss out of it on friday.

be honest, i drove the piss out of it today too.

i wish this was the 6.3L mercedes because i would definitely tow with it, yet it is the 4.5l v8. It has something like 200 hp and 350 tq via electronic fuel injection! the 6.3 had 300hp and something like 450tq. i dont know the exact hp/tq numbers google it im sure it will come up. i do know the 6.3 ran 14.2 in road and track article back in the 60’s in a 2 ton car.

car gets like 15mpg highway. i can deal w/ that, but not for my 130mile round trip daily. a/c still blows cold as hell. all the wood grain interior is solid, everything works. water pump has a seep from car sitting so long. easy fix.

im not going to do anything drastic to it. staying stock. maybe bag/hydraulics on it. that would be about it. bought the car to crusie and take to the drive in movies.

something about just driving an old car. it makes driving fun. not in a hurry to get anywhere because the drive is the event.

No idea on location. Drive those areas daily. All a blur. Sweet find.

you might run into the evo 8 queer, rides ohio river blvd often. those greenlight launches will wish you had the cabby on the road :rofl:

3 drive ins near your work. twinhighways? off stuebenville pike in robinson and the one off 60 cargo exit near the airport. also another one in Hopewell off 60

3 in a 15 minute drive.

3 drive ins w/in ok drive by my area-- mt. pleasant, brownsville, connelsville. latrobe would make 4, but kinda out of the way. funny, drive ins are a dieing breed and we have 7 alone in western pa that was just rattled off.

Yep. Watch 2 flicks for the cost of 1 in a theater, Have a DD well worth it to bring some beer too :slight_smile:

You find some interesting cars dude, all of which are very cool.

nice wheels salior

Good looking car Sailor. I have to admit, if I was a cop I would pull anyone over that looked like you driving that car. That on bags would look real good.

neat car sailor. old benz’s are cool.

it lasted an entire day without getting pulled over… better than our audi 5000 :kekegay:

interior is real clean…

I’m not a big fan of M.B., but the car looks pretty clean.

Okay, I would rock that thing. :redface:

It looks like something that would be in a Top Gear challenge. :bigthumb:

the honduh couldn’t keep up on the way back…mad tq on that beast :kekegay:
