Is getting pulled over NOT by a cop normal for you guys with nice cars??

Today I had a first for me at least. I was driving and noticed someone was following me and flashing their brights and waving me to pull over while they were in a Mercedes. He just wanted to talk to me about my truck....it was cool but If it wasn't a new Mercedes I might not have stopped

It's one thing to have someone come up in a parking lot or a gas station but all you guys with really nice rides do you get flagged down by normal people and asked to pull over ???

 

Many times, usually they roll down a window and ask me at a light.

 

Never know around LA if someone's going to car jack you...haha I stopped because it was a $70k Mercedes

 

Never been pulled over, but I do get waves all the time, much more from women than men oddly, of all ages. Took me a bit to get use to it all the time. They don't wave at me when I'm not in the truck though. So, I know they just want to use me for my truck and don't really care about the real me. So, I just ignore them now.

 

Yea im pretty sure that show thats based in vegas might of helped guys spirits a little bit. I dont know if anyone noticed that one like i did.

 

Yep a few times and twice by cops that just wanted to talk cars.

 

Where I'm from you might get shot pulling those kinds of shenanigans!

 

That's kind of what I was thinking....when the guy was flashing brights and honking and waving me to pull over. Luckily he was super cool.

 

I get people wanting to talk at lights. I was sitting at a light once, at a school crossing. Some little tiny girl, maybe 8yrs old, said "nice (OT pony car)!". I couldn't believe someone that young could reconize it, it was pretty funny.

 

Happened a couple times to me, They wanted to know if I hired my car out for weddings..

 

Happens to me all the time. Usually it is a carfull of 25 year old topless chicks who love my car, and..........................oh, wait a minute. That was just a dream I had............nevermind !

Never happens to me, unless my car is on fire.

 

Had quite a few race up beside me and flash goes the camera. Scary at night when you don't see them until the flash has gone off, then I think that I've triggered a speed camera.

 

Hahahaha.

Yep! Got pulled over by a Dearborn cop in '88 just to check out my new Ford Fox car....

 

Not Traditionally.

Driving between Brisbane and the goldcoast i could see a Porsche weaving through traffic behind me . He pulled up next to me then behind me up the other side of me behind me again up next to me again . Giving me the thumbs up all while his misses was videoing it on her phone .

 

and keep askin questions after it turned green causing a horn orchestra. I never feel like cuttin it cold as i dont want people to think im too kool to talk to them, so by the time i tell'em theres people behind us they start honkin already. Like 3 seconds after it turns green usually....
My car is stil a piece of shit thou, but still gettin mad attention somehow.

 

I've had a few people ask me to roll down my window and then ask if it's for sale.. Happens in parking lots too. Don't think I'd stop for anybody.. I think I'd be too annoyed. Probably not the right way to be since we're ambassadors for our hobby.. shame on me.. and good for you for pulling over.

 

In KC a new Mercedes may mean car jacked Mercedes. I don't stop for anyone if they follow me into somewhere that I was planning on stopping anyway that is different. I have been followed into places even in a beater by the way.

 

I really love when the guy begging at the stop light tells me how cool my car is.

 

I usually have people start conversations at red lights. Problem is, sometimes I run open headers and my hearing isn't as good as it was, so it is hard to hear what they are saying. I hope I heard their comment or question correctly because I don't want to seem rude by not giving a friendly response.

What is strange is, sometimes I will be out in my roadster and people around me are totally oblivious to it, othertimes I have tons of people talking to me and taking pictures. Not sure why some days are different than others.

not long ago i was runnin open headers and a girl pulled up next to me and pointed at what i thought was my headers and was saying something.i kinda thought she was commenting on how loud it was. light changed and within a few feet i found out i had a flat front tire.now i know what she was saying..not to loud but to damn low

 

Sounds like an episode of that goofy TV show-"Counting Cars"........they do that every night.

 

Had it happen a few times, at lights mostly but also at gas stations. Like said earlier, my hearing isn't what it used to was either so when I notice somebody giving me a thumbs up, I first make sure it isn't a singlefinger salute , then wave my thanks back at 'em. Makes me feel all warm & fuzzy inside. . .

 

Ive always wondered why anybody would pull over when those guys from counting cars do that.

 

It happens every now and again. The most two memorable were: the guy that got out of his car on the 401 (our interstate) and ran up from six cars back to talk while we were stuck due to an accident; and they guy who ran across 5 lanes of traffic to catch me at a stoplight, and then got nudged by a moving car while running back.

 

Yep..... A county deputy pulled me over (with lights & horn). Just wanted to talk about my '66 suburban. Didn't even ask for license-registration-proof of insurance!after 10 minutes of sweating and listening to this guy, i asked if i did anything wrong. And he said "nope, have a nice day"

 

A buddy and I got pulled over in rural Kansas by a cop saying he running a "check" on our year issued (1966) plates. Later he confessed he just wanted to check out our cars. We were on our first leg of a trip to Birmingham, AL and I thought "Seriously, you just wasted 20 minutes of our time. Can we go now?"

 

I had a '65 Porsche 365 SC as a daily driver. It was almost a daily pull-over too in West Covina. Sometimes the same cop too.
