Friday, I had to go ride with a kid(prolly 20-23 year old) in his ex-cop car, to lissen fer a noise he wuz bitchin aboot( I did the trans in it aboot 6 months ago). We had had the car here at the shop for aboot a week before, tying to find a noise that ain't there. So, when he comes to pick it up, I gotsta go ride wid him and see if I can figure it out. First off, lemmie say that this is in Plano Texas...very populated, and cops EVERYWHERE.....not just here & there....everywhere.
Soon as we gits in the car, he's pettin the dash, sayin "Ohhhh my baby....I missed you sooooo much!"
That should have been the red flag, but nooooooo.....I stay in the car. Then we take off, and this punk hauls azz out of the parking lot, foot on the floor, shifter in manual LOW. Winds it out to redline(6500rpm), and says "Didja hear that?". Nooo...what I hear is a 4.6 Ford tryin to puke it's guts out....THAT'S what I hear. Not content, the guy heads on down thru the center of town...drivin like he's a real cop chasin someone that has just robbed a doughnut store er sumptin. Slides up to a redlight(barely), and turns left when the light changes....foot on the floor still, tires spinnin, ass-end fishtailin.
So we go a little farther, and he's just got his foot in it all the time...school zones or not.
Finally turns to head back to the shop, and he's hauling azz again, doin aboot 70mph(in a 40), and there's there's this red light bigger than **** commin up....he don't care...foot stays in it. He's too busy yappin aboot how cop cars are so much better built than "civilian cars", and shouldn't be makin these noises. I keep tellin him "Red light RED light REDLIGHT goddammint!" :rant: He FINALLY slams on da braking thingy, and slides right thru aboot 3/4 of the intersection, comming to a stop right in the middle of an intersection with 5 lanes o traffic both ways....then calmly backs up, almost hittin the idjit that was followin his goofy ass thru the redlight.
Common sense had already told me to tell this turd to stop the car, and let me out(I've done that before)....but I dint. I had already told this jerk that the Plano cops were everywhere, all the time, and he should maybe find a safer place to play cops & robbers.
Anyway, back to the shop we fly. I get out and let the manager know there's nothing wrong with the car/transmission...it's the loose nut holdin the wheel that is the problem. So he tells the guy, and sends him down the road.
He came back this mornin, still bitchin about this noise. I drive the car meself, by meself, and there ain't **** wrong wid it. So, the punk, axs me, "Didja hear the noise?". "Well...yeah...at 6 grand, anything will make a noise." "Well....what do you think the problem is?" I couldn't hold it....I shoulda, but I couldn't....so I tells him "HONESTLY?? SLOW YER STOOPID ASS DOWN"....and walked off.
Damn kids....
Yeah....I used to drive all stoopid like that, too, but not in traffic, and definitely NOT with a passenger. But...if somethin of mine broke, I dint go to someone else bitchin aboot it....I knew it was me own fault, and just fixed it......
dammit.... :sensored:
end of rant... :fiddle:
