Re: [DML] "DUHHH!!!!" at the gas pump

I have told this story to a few of you so forgive my repeating it for the 
newbies.
I was traveling on I-40 a few years ago. Running about 83+ mph, I came over a 
hill and saw the TN State trooper running radar. He flashed his lights and I 
pulled over. I opened the door and looked up at a TN trooper that was 6'4". 
His first statement was "So this is a Delorean, I have never seen one up 
close". I took my time showing him the engine, trunk, and even told him it 
was ok to sit in it and how to open the door. (I figured if he wasn't putting 
ink to paper I was ok). He was amazed at the amount of headroom and the over 
all feel of the car. Anyway, after about 10 min. talking about the car he 
asked "Mr. Battles. I have one question when you go 88.5 mph do you go back 
to the future?" I smiled and answered if I had reached that speed do you 
think I would be talking to you now? He laughed and told me to drive safe. No 
ticket, no warning, just a cop with a love of autombiles and a GREAT sense of 
humor.
This is one case where the car itself talked me out of a ticket. You just got 
to love living the dream!!!
