i have a funny little story about a few things that happend to me this weekend... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

so saterday the girl friend calls me up and says come over and take me out on a date and bring the 50. so i threw the 1950 plate i had laying in theback seat on the back bumber (the real one flew off on the way to work last weekend damn michigan roads) and juiced up the 12v battery in the trunk for the bags and headed out. got to her house went to drop the bags, and nothing. after charging the battery for 5 hours it didnt hold. (little tip if your going to keep your car out side all winter bring in the battery) the damn thing frose solid a couple weeks ago and is not holing a charge any more. so i say we have to head over the to local walmart to get a new deep cycle.(she was not happy about this). 20 min and 100.00 later. we were back on the road. nice way to start the "date" off. so we driving into down town royal oak. to go the bar and get some burgers. i find a spot right on main. (damn near impossible feat on a saternight). go in eat drink yada yada. come back out, and bam theres a present stuck between the fender and the hood. kinda missed the 30 min parking limit oops. open the ticket up and it reads: 2004 chevrolet passenger car and the plate number. since the damn plate didnt come up in the computer, they just took a guess. i would have liked to see the cop trying to figure that one out. so that gave us a little laugh. so i drive her home drop her off and head on my 30 min trip to my house. not damn near 15 min after getting the parking ticket i get pulled over. cop walks and says "son you know your plate does not match the car, and u have no brake lights!" he was not happy with me. so i tell him some bull shit on how the old plate got stolen in detroit the other day and that i knew noting about the brake lights. both lies. allso said i had sent in the paper work to get the historic plate registerd to the car and shit. he just shakes his head and walks back to his car with my info. comes back about 5 min later and says " son u know u just cant slap any ole plate on a car and think u drive it" i agreed and he sent me on my way to get a real plate and some brake lights no ticket no mention of my open lake pipes, bumber heighth, or any of that. so let this be a lesson to you. its ok to drive with the wrong plate and no brake lights as long as your cars old enough. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

well sorry to bore you all with that just thought i would share. sorry for the grammer and spelling i know i suck!

later

lucky. remind me to tell you about Mongo and i almost getting Roadstar's 32 roadster IMPOUNDED on Woodward Ave last summer. that cop had NO sense of hummor nor any compassion whatsoever..

hey, speaking of Mongo. we damn near came out to your place today, but after driving to Coldwater to pick up a hood for his 60 Olds (which he paid waaaaayyy too much for in my opinion, but then he did'nt ask for nore seem to want my input on the matter. he just wants me to fix that damn thing http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif) we were kinda tired and needed a rest http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif... we both decided you should drive out here to my place to get those wheels. it's not near as far as his place. prolly take you about an hour and a half to get here. better find him some wheels for his ride soon or his dad will have the Olds sittin in the road on the drums http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif....

Yeah, I was waiting for those juicy details as well. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Bryan, when the weather warms up a bit we'll all cruz into Royal Oak together in our hot rods for burgers and benchracing.

I'm actually glad you didn't get arrested. The Royal Oak PD can be sticklers most times.

i got lucky one night too, same kinda thing. I was driving my girl home after dinner at TacoBell http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif in my '46 and I needed to get over, so I look over my shoulder, floor it, and cut off the car in the lane next to me. I didn't realize that the car I was cutting off was a cop! He didn't pull me over even though I had straight pipes outta the flathead roaring, no turn signal, expired registration, and no rear bumper. Man was I smiling when he didn't pull me over!http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I was going to say that I thought the 50 was long gone (Space Herpie, I believe) and that I thought he was working on a Mopar and that he was at Autorama on Saturday but thought twice until I read Malcom's response.
