Incident 1:
Right before going on a trip to New York I stopped at a independantly owned gas station for gas, coffee, and cash back. As I walk into the store, I notice two police officers having breakfast. I asked the employee if they do cash back with a purchase. He said 'Yes'. I proceeded to make two medium cups of coffee and went to pay. I told the teller I needed 25 dollars back. He then tells me that they don't do cash back. Dumbfounded, I told him that I just asked him before I made the coffees if they do. I tell him that I will not take or pay for the coffees and we argue for about 3o seconds until I just walk out.
As I drive to the nearest 7-11 I get pulled over by the two police cars. I knew that I did not break any laws, so I thought WTF!? The officers approach my car and they tell me that they were sitting inside the gas station store and saw me walk out without paying for the coffees. I told them exactly what happened and one looked at me and told me that I have to go back and pay for the coffee. I was going to say FU but decided to just say OK. They were only $1.50 each anyway. They drove ahead and I followed them for a bit then just turned into a neighborhood and lost them.
Incident 2:
I am driving on the highway with my best friend and girlfriend. I was going about 15 mph above the speed limit. A notice in the rearview that a police car is approaching fast. I move 2 lanes to my right and he just drives past. A little while later I noticed that I am approaching the same cruiser. As I am about to drive next to him he moves one lane to the right so now he is right next to me. After driving another 5 minutes we both have exchanged lanes because of traffic. Eventually I see him slow down and drive behind me, I know he is going to pull me over. He does.
He comes to my door and barks at me for my DL and Reg. I say, "May I ask why you pulled me over?" He replies, "Why did you look at me as you were passing me?" I say because I noticed a car on my periferal and just looked over is the wrong? He says that I have been speeding the whole time he was behind me. He goes to his cruiser and comes back about 6 minutes later. He says do you have anything on your record that I should know about. I say a have two speeding tickets that is all. He says what about Dec. 2003 and I remembered getting a DUI when I was 18 on Christmas Eve and I told him that. I ask him what that has anything to do with being pulled over now. He didn't reply and just says that he is going to give me a verbal warning. At this point I decide that I need to know who the D-bag is and tell him that I would prefer a written warning, just so I can get his badge #. He agrees and goes back to his car and another 4-5 minutes pass. He returns and asks me if I am having money problems. Again I ask him what this has anything to with getting pulled over now. He asks me out of the car and informs me that he know that my house is under forcloser and that he wanted to get my side of the "story" so he can decide wether he's going to give me an expensive ticket or a cheap one. I tell him that he just said he's only going to give me a warning. He says that he's trying to help me and that I shouldn't be giving him an attitude. Anyway, eventually he gave me a written warning and let me drive off. A soon as I got home I filed a complaint and was told that a detective was going to contact me. That was a mont ago and I haven't heard anything yet.
Way to go Montgomery County Police. Maryland. #qotd
Why should I pay more for something that should come standard on a mobile phone? Wireless carriers are grimey (e.i.: text messaging costs)
@cargogh Oh yeah I definitely agree with you on that one!
One more Cadillac's CTS-V!
Infiniti G37 is a very sexy car. BMW's M3 is also one of my favorites.

Good Stuff.
Should you be paying less money to get a smaller product? It seems to me that this trend all happened in a couple of months. I was on dell a couple of months ago and an xps 13somthin' was under $1400. I digress. Still less product should = less money.
So glad I'm not a Teen anymore. It's too hard to keep up with the things that are "In". What ever happened to going out on a date to meet someone.
I dont get what the point of this game is?
@Cchrist: WAR KITTENS?!
Luckeeey! Where's my box o' goodies. I guess I can call Rockstar!
There is nothing better than the feeling of a big 'ol round vanuum wire tearing into flesh! J/K! But I have lived through it and it was the last time I hade freinds over my house without my mom being there. What can I say I was 10. -Thanks Mom Your the Best-
Going back to the wheels... that is just west coast flare. It is a low rider. But I do agree with the shaved doors. Some chrome handles would have looked way cooler.
