I live on a big hill and trucks regularly blow the light in front of the house coming down the hill. A cement truck overturned on the front lawn once when it lost it's brakes. Today a trash truck coming down the hill with it's brakes on fire blew the light while laying on it's horn to make it ok. :-o Almost took out a SUV in the intersection.
So I ran down the brakeless clapped out trash truck and wrote down all it's info. I called the company :tickedoff: and they were quite flippant. So I went to the CHP office :knuppel2: to get some justice. Told my story, they pull up the company info and looks like they are rip for a nice inspection for all 40 of their trucks :-) Chippy at the front desk tells me where the trash truck company is located in Whittier, thanks me for my good citizen ship, and asks me if my shop is in Santa Fe Springs...
[crickets]
[thinks to my self how does he come up with Santa Fe Springs?]
[more crickets]
THE ROAD RACE SHIRT!!! AHHHHHHH!!! EVERYONE PANIC! MOFO knows I am one of _them_ cause of the RRE shirt!
He says "You used to be in Los Alamitos, right?"
Calm now, all calm. "Ummm, yeah that is us"
He says "Yeah I have a this year that with a that year turbo motor swapped in and do you have intercooler piping bends in 45 degrees and couplings because my I/C fits like here and the throttle body is over there and my Microtech Controler let me do this..."
He's one of us in a CHP uniform O0
They dont all suck, :police: just the sucky ones suck. When he comes in he is getting a discount.
