OK, so I have my Mom riding shotgun. I'm driving in front of Marcos De niza High school 8:30pm. I was driving down memory lane as I lived in the lakes when I was in college. Driving north.....a bit south of coffee grounds on Lakeshore.

So there are some huge speed bumps in front of the HS and I slowed way down and hit them at an angle(going north). I did it 3 times. Now, I still have no plates on my car.

So the lights come on and I get pulled over. The cop is a hottie(blonde, 5'8", thin, petite). My mom is a bit concerned at this point. So she walks up and says, "What were you doing back there? You were swerving on the center lane and going into the bike lane" "These are characteristics of drunk driving."

I was driving 7-10 mph over the speed bumps.....

I then responded with "Sorry officer the car is low, and if I hit them straight on I'll scrape."

"Where is your tags?"-she sternly quips. "There are goth kids that hang out here wearing black.....You could have hit one. I almost did." <At 10mph?...Kept that to myself.>

I point to the windshield to show my temp sticker and say the permanent tags are on the way and in the mail.

"Well I gotta run the VIN to make sure the car is not stolen."

So we sit there for about 20 minutes and she comes back saying that she cant find the VIN anywhere.

So she writes me up for no proof of registration($581, Get tags now $131) and did not like my temp tags(past the 30 days, But I found the current sticker in my envelope of stuff.)

BUT....at the end she says.....

"My dad has an s2000 and it is his baby......He wont even let me ride in it."

Another odd thing is that she asked for my phone number at the end of the traffic stop....Never had a cop do that before. (If she calls I am definitely going out with her.)

My Mom looks at me after the traffic stop and says, "That was just lame!"

Do you guys get pulled over for petty stuff like this?

In the traffic schools I have been to, I have heard women say that they have been pulled over and at the end the guy cop askes them out. I have never heard of a female cop doing that though. Man, Lee, the most interesting things happen to you.

She was pretty hot.....Long stright blonde hair, and a really big gun(.45).

The best part is that my Mom saw all of it happen. So I have a witness.........

She would be pretty easy to find as she has to sign the ticket as well.

I don't understand the two ticket amounts???? Did you get two different infractions?

The ticket is wierd......It is written to say that if I get it taken care of before the court date/payment due date, or if I can prove that I had registration the fine is $131. If not $581.

If I can prove I have registration it should be $0.

Is the phone number thing normal? I have never had a cop ask me for that?

Did she write your number on her hand or on the ticket? That might have been the sign to look for man.

Not to ruin your fantasy but I've had cops ask for a phone number before, but I'm still routing for you (as I'm taking off my plates to make a run to towards Tempe)
