Police paid me a visit tonight - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BLUE THUNDER · 08-21-2008, 01:18 AM

Well as many of you know, I just got my Blazer running. I pulled (literally pulled) ol' yeller out of the garage Wednesday night at about 10 past 8. I thought it was still early enough to finish breaking in the cam. I fired it up and opened her up to 2k r.p.m. (open headder). I ran it for about 20 minutes then shut it down at 8:35. After it had cooled off a bit I started to push it back in the garage. I happened to look over my shoulder to see the the heat walking up to me. He asked if i was working on my Blazer. I said hell yes, I'm breaking in the cam, but it's been off for about 45 minutes. Apparently one of my kick a$$ neighbors ratted me out. My first thoughts were sumbeach. Then, what the hell. Oh well, right. The cop was cool. He didn't care about the call so much as he did my Blazer. He told me that as long as the sun is up it was o.k. to do what I was doing. He didn't know who called in, but I suspect it's the weirdos next to me that talk to my dog more than they talk to me. I guess this counts as my first run in with the law in the Blazer. Just thought I'd share that with you guys. Remeber, snitches get stitches. Ha ha. Mario

Hmm, you just maybe should fire it up for 10 mintues each evening just before sundown . . . neighbors - I'm glad I don't have any close neighbors!

jkaylor68gmc · 08-21-2008, 10:22 AM

snitches get stitches and well someone gets beatin's but I' m not going there.

For some odd reason, I want to be a cop, oh well.

Riveted1 · 08-21-2008, 10:24 AM

I would've agreed w/ya on the time. I think anything before 10pm is game. But some people just like to be PITAs b/c they have nothing better to do. Glad the cop was cool.

d10s69c10 · 08-21-2008, 10:28 AM

haha what Pricks. i used to live next to Mike Ford.(engine builder for nationwide seires) you coul dhear some pretty radical stuff 24 hours a day over there. but i was just as bad tuning in audio systems.

its one thing to piss them off at night i like firing my 10 up at about 4:30 am.

You need a shirt that says.

"Yes. I am badass."

jkaylor68gmc · 08-21-2008, 11:16 AM

word.

72Levi · 08-21-2008, 02:37 PM

I agree with the cop, if its still daylight its ok. Anyway thats why I can't see my neighbors and they can't see me. I am glad u got it running, I always cringed when I rev'd it up at 2k for the break in, but it always went well. How did it run?

BLUE THUNDER · 08-21-2008, 03:35 PM

RUNS AWESOME!!!!!! The oil pressure seemed a little high, but no overheating or cooling issues. It had to be a close neighbor though, they knew it was a Blazer and not a bronco. BTW, it has only been out of the garage twice since i moved in. Like I said, it was probably the weirdos that never cut thier grass, or clean up thier crap next door. Oh well, I guess you can't be liked by all. My Blazer is finally breathing after owning it for 13 months and that is the important thing. I can't wait to put the flo's on it and get the tranny rebuilt. I'll be starting Ol' Yeller up every morning at 6:45. Mario

Hmmm, around here the City issues citations to people who don't cut their grass, especially the ones that don't cut their grass and call the police to report that their neighbor with a Blazer is making to much noise

k-nuts · 08-21-2008, 09:52 PM

Sweet!

You say your "first" run in with the law, as if there will be more??

BLUE THUNDER · 08-22-2008, 12:05 AM

Well when you live the life of an outlaw....... Just kidding guys. I went over to the neighbors and apologized; Soprano style. Kidding too. As far as the run-ins, hopefully so. Those days are long gone, I'm a family man with an awesome wife and Blazer. What else could I want.

Niiiiiiiiice.....what about the kids??

As a police officer, you have to go on stupid noise complaint calls all of the time. Most of the time it's music or a dog. Every once in a while I'm lucky enough that it's a classic of some sort. Some people just need something to ***** about. Probably the same people that complain about fireworks at 9 pm on July 4th.

BLUE THUNDER · 08-22-2008, 09:17 PM

Yup, those are the types of people that can't function w/o disfunction. The officer really liked Ol' Yeller. I really can't wait to start driving it.

joemacho · 08-23-2008, 11:57 PM

i used to fire mine up at 3. am to go to work but a that time the noise wasnt as bad as hearing the train horn at that hour. my jimmy has a 350 headers and 12in glass packs. it is pretty loud when i leave.
