So 2 weeks ago, Felix and I swapped cruisers so he could max out his Home Depot card and get his new shed home without renting a truck.

I've been tooling around in the 40 for a day or two and decide to load the dogs up and head out to Winchester for a quick trip. I "fly" by a cop on route 50 and he pulls out behind me. I'm thinking "no way a was speeding much in a 40".... he's creeping behind me at about 40 mph and I'm thinking maybe its the antique plates or one of the dogs fell out the back, nope....

The next 20 minutes involved proving that I did not steal the cruiser. It did not help that we couldn't find the VIN and that it was my buddy's truck. Luckily, the dog was not trying to eat a police officer either.

Turned out that a couple of hours earlier a white 40 w/ a tire carrier was stolen right up the street. We soon had a 3 cop audience and a pretty good laugh. What are the chances?

I think Bob said his wife stopped to look at a 40 for sale on 29 near Wegman's. Its been there forever (and its rusty) Apparently someone decided they needed to take a test drive first and then just brought it home...!
Anyway, just thought it was funny at the time and wantwed to share the good times. Remember to lock your doors (if you have locks - and doors- that is!)
 
good story. stay out of trouble man...
 
Meanwhile, I'm hanging out at home, eating in front of the TV, when the cell phone rings....

Andrew's girfriend: Hey, Felix, it's Natalie.
Me: Oh, hey, how's it going in the 40?
Natalie: Oh, pretty good, except..
[My head: Oh sh-t. That crappy tire blew out and there's no spare. The engine seized. There are pieces of my tranny all over I-66.]
Natalie: well, we're surrounded by cops that think we stole your truck. Can you tell me where to find the VIN?
me: oh, sure, it's right near the driver's left leg on the info plate.
her: okay, thanks.
me: alright, good luck with all that.

It was a little unexpected!

I always eat sushi at home. Never the chips though. Gotta maintain the gut as I get old.....!
 
Good one felix...
