      68RS - I'm not sure how that "tech" has any bearing on Shawn's tire buying decisions. Normally I wouldn't bother with this if it were a thread starter, but since I'm already subscribed to the topic . . .

      Has it occurred to you yet that a few members of some boards might be police officers? Actually, from another board I know specifically of a motorcycle cop in Antioch, which according to Mapquest is only about 35 miles from you.

      Something to think over is that the proportion of those individuals who are willing to put in eight hour shifts behind the wheel of a patrol car that are interested on cars might be a little higher than for the general driving population at large. At least 3 of maybe a dozen officers who held down second jobs working building security for the company I used to be employed by were. And I'm in the Northeast.

      And finally, you may have gotten the luck of the draw with regard to the specific sergeant who showed up. Or not. Have fun with your car, but keep it sane, OK?

      wow

      lets not start any flames here to each his own opinions. when i was in high school we did burn outs on a daily basis because every one knows thats what impresses the ladies! :3gears: one time in auto shop we did a tranny swap on a late 80's BMW and i "tested it out" by doing a nice smoke show in front of every one who was eating lunch. i just told the principal that i hadnt bled the clutch lines yet and it was alittle hard to control the engagment. Another time i did a brake stand with my budies crappy honda motor cycle in front of the auto shop bays. i explained that i was getting the "coating" off of his new tire before he took it out on the road. but all kidding aside lets lay of the cops i know of a few that have saved my ass more than a few times because their good people.
