So I was on my way back from the gas station filling up the car.. I ended up at a red light and a random *** Civic pulled up next to me with one of the just stupid extra loud muffler.. Right when I was reaching for my stereo to turn it up a little bit, I hear him rev his engine a couple times next to me.. I cant help but look over at him with a big *** smirk.. Needless to say, the light turns to green and we gun it.. He is NO WHERE TO BE SEEN next to me, he is way behind me as I look in my rearview.. Then two cop cars lights go off, one of them grabs the Civic and the other comes to me.. Great, 2nd day with my car and I am getting a ticket.. The cop comes up to my window, asks for the usual (license and everything.) He just stands there for a minute and leans back down to my window.. His exact words, "Well, next time.. That guy better think twice then racing a SSEi with that bullshit ricer.." He just sends me off without any ticket or anything.. Never would of thought a cop would do that.. SSEi - 1 and Ricers - 0

Now that could only happen in a suburb of Detroit!!!

We do not endorse, encourage or condone street racing in this forum. However; we do appreciate great stories of law enforcement officers doing their duty to make certain that justice is upheld during ricer season!

All of the ones I have ran into can be real jerks, it is good to see that they crackdown on the ricers rather then good guys..

lol, where did this happen it sure as hell didnt happen in troy, clawson, madison heights, or royal oak lol

hahaha

It happened in Ypsilanti.

good to know thats where im coming when my foot feel heavy.. ive gotten pulled over before with a huge ticket to follow in flint

Good to know that there are some really good cops out there

I have a story but it'* not about my SSEI but my '64 GTO i used to have.

It had a 428 Tri-Power with Velocity Stacks sticking out of the hood 4-speed 3:70 Posi.

I left a Mr. Quick eating joint and and squelled my tires a little in low while turnning onto the street and going up a hill, shifted into second and the shifter linkage was hanging up and finally got it into seond and was getting a little mad at the linkage at the time so I stomped it and turned it loose in second and looked in the mirror for some reason and a city cop was a block behind me.He followed me a couple of blocks and pulled me over. Came up and checked me out and said Oh You Have Tri-Power on it! I said yea. he gave me a ticket for squelling tires. He said I could have let you go with a warning but when you opened it up in second I had to give you a ticket.This happened back in '73 or '74. Now for the Kicker in the story. I bought the Tri-Power off a friend of mine who bought this same city cop'* car back in '67 or '68 that was a '66 Pontiac Full-size 4 dr. 421 4-speed with this same Tri-Power!
