Default Got pulled over last night :(

Got pulled over last night comin home from a friends house..
about 1:30am this morning.

First thing I was thinking was what the hell, did I do?????????????
I wasnt speeding, and everything is on the up, and up on the truck...
thought maybe I had a tail light out, or my plate lights where out..
??????
so I pull into the neighbor hood, and shut the truck off, and he walks up, and says he pulled me over for not signaling within the required distance of a traffic light for the right hand turn I made..

I was thinking you gotta be kidding me......
thats a $160 fine here in texas...
give him my license, and insurance, and he then preceeds to ask me, if this was the truck that had it's pick in the article about the Thunder Shootout, in the GM High Tech Mag.
I replied yes, there was a pic of it in the mag..

and then, for 15-30 minutes, we sat there and talked about my truck, and his VHO.
He never mentioned the infraction he pulled me over for again.

Real Nice officer too.
I told him about this site, and all the info he can get for his truck, and he also told me he is trying to put an LT1 in another car he's got..
..
So anyways long story short, we are sitting there with his light bar on talking about trucks, and his cars, all the while people are driving by( LOL, people from my neighbor hood, that know my truck, and probably arent to happy with me, because of the way it sounds) looking, and probably thinking, they finally are gonna get him....
and like usuall I was another law abiding citizen......

Oh yeah, if anybody would be interested in a 72 Chevelle SS he is trying to unload one for $1500..
clean title, and needs some restoration work...it's a rolling chassis, there was some floor board issues he was telling me about.. If you are interested, shoot me a PM, and I will give you his #

im never that lucky anymore. i had a little nissan PU that i could drive through a red light in a school zone doing 100mph yelling obsene stuff to nuns and the cops would let me off with a warning. in my current truck, everytime i get pulled i get a ticket. one of the speeding tickets i got i wasnt even speeding ! that one was dropped after they found out i had already called my attourney and was ready to take it to court lol. they even admitted that it was a BS pullover. some cops are real dicks. yours sounded pretty cool though. keep in touch with that cop. help him out with his cars cuz knowing the right people can get out of some tight situations

See, now I would have questioned why they don't do that in the middle of the day, say around 2:30 in the afternoon.
