Heh- yah! Actually, the deputy did cruise by and pulled into the lot where I
do my suspension testing (and now tire break in). Asked me if I was testing
rear axles again! (The butthead!) Told him what i was doing and he asked if
he could DRIVE IT!!!! At first I said, "NO Officer, your driving skills
arent up to the level to where you could handle THIS car". He laughed and
got in. He liked it. Said it was much faster and had more grip in the turns
than his Camaro does. (No Duh, Duey!) He really didnt drive it hard
anyways.......
