Don't get me wrong, I respect the badge however the way I was treated the other day realllly bothered me.
It had been raining all day, windows were fogged, heavy down pour, I hydro planed around an embankment, brakes locked up and I lost it. Ended up putting the car into a tree. The funny thing is there was not a single scratch, dent, or ding on my Charger (1973).
Being a 16 year old kid with a pretty quick muscle car always seems to bother people. I get **** all the time. But my car is my passion, while everyone else my age spends their money on drugs, I spend mine on my car. It's worth more to me then any resell value.
Anyways, back onto the topic, the daycare across the street called the police (even though I was fine, had tow truck coming to pull it out).
Officer showed up, asked who owned the car, then came up to me and said, "Let me guess, you were doing stupid ****?" I was just dumbfounded, the man didn't even ask me if I was alright?
Luckily before I freaked out, my dad stopped me and told the officer "Don't give the kid a hard time, he's already hurting enough."
Officer said, "Sir, I'm just doing my job"
The best part was after he issued me a citation for too fast for conditions (my first ticket in the 3 years i've had my car). He goes on to tell me that his 2013 charger with 5.7 Hemi handles the exact same way my 1973 charger does. We all laughed and my dad goes, buddy I've driven that car (points at the cruiser) and that car (points at my car) and says I don't really think you can compare the two. One goes where you tell and the other thinks about it.
He said some other bs and finally left.
Like I said before I respect the badge, and don't have a problem with what they do, but the way they handle things.
