Yeah, looking at them from the side, it looks like they got a hat on and tipped forward a bit for attitude. They look like stock-cars. Some of the ones at the drive track even have roll cages 8)

I like those cruisers.... they look tough, not like some of them whimpy looking other state trooper cars... Must be that big red light....

When I was a brave young (stupid) teenager ;D I had the nerve to throw an egg at a car one night out with a couple of buddies.

Just as I let go of the egg, I saw that big red cherry on top of the cruiser Immediately I skedaddled and hid in a big blackberry bush.(Even Dumber idea!)

The two troopers walked around that bush looking at me with their flashlights and I remember the oldest one saying, "I think he will remember the pain of this lesson longer than any we could have ever given him!"

That was one smart trooper! I had 5,000 little scratches to remember that lesson

 

LMAO... That was great!

 

Bet you wanted a Ghillie-suit

 

I just wanted out! :'(<br><br> It sure took a lot longer to get out of that blackberry bush, than it took getting in to it <br><br> The funny thing was that trooper knew who I was because he pulled up alongside of me one day and asked if the blackberries were in season yet <br> He was really a pretty cool guy, very fair man and everybody really did respect him a lot.

 

Do you grow a blackberry bush in the yard for old times sake? ???

 

There are quite a few here on my mountain top, but I didn't put them here. I swear sometimes those things will actually reach out and grab you!

 

<br>Hey son... them blackberries ripe yet?

Room for any more Traverse City BOMBers? I live about halfway out Old Mission Peninsula. I'm also a GLTDR member, but I seem to be the only one in this area, so attending any of their events takes a long road trip. (not always bad of course)

 

Sure.... go to our website at http://www.midtr.com and download an application! ;D<br><br>Tony

 

Love Old Mission! Add your vehicle info, let's see what ya got!

 

I live just across West Bay from you, Bighammer, and I'm also a GLTDR member, but not very active there. You will find the MIDTR a great bunch! But watch out for Redleg's jokes!

 

Welcome to the MIDTR #3 Bighammer! Glad to have you with us.<br>

 

OK, let's see if this works. (did a cut &amp; paste for my profile)

It worked. And thanks for the welcome.
