jimoshel Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I was in a little bit of a hurry to get home last night and was going a little over 85 in my '87, 2.5, 4sp. Had just let up on the gas to exit the hwy when the whole interior of the truck was lit up with flashing red-Blue lights. Don't know where in H*ll he came from, open hwy and I never saw him. Pull over and he walks up to the window. Him, "know why I pulled you over"? Me, " Either you were lonely and wanted some one to talk to, or I was speeding." Him, after a long pause, " You trying to be funny?" Me, "Well yes sir I am. I figure you catch enough crap from pissed drivers and might appreciate it." Him, "OK. I do appreciate the thought. Now down to business. Do you know how fast you were going?" Me, "Yes sir I do. A little over 85." Him. Big grunt. "Drivers license, Registration and insurance card, please." I hand them over and he checks. Hands them back. Him. "I didn't know there were any Jeep pick ups left on the road or that one that old could run so well." From here it went into a Jeep BS session. He had a CJ he had made a rock crawler out of and I kept quite and let him talk about it. We popped the hood and talked about 4-6 and V8's for 15 minutes. I told him about Comanche Club and gave him a club card and mentioned my collection. He's coming out this afternoon to see them and maybe buy one. He then gently chided me for treating a old Jeep like that , He chewed my *ss out. And gave me a warning ticket for a cracked windshield. Got 30 days to get it replaced.

MJRemi Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 So he'll soon discover the reason there are so few jeep pick-ups still on the road is because they are all in Jim's back yard. :bowdown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimoshel Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 Hey guys. Don't put my Jeep down. It's a running little sucker. Actually it was uphill, no wind. Pueblo is 4600ft elevation. The house is 6300ft, So it's a 1700ft climb coming home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The house is 6300ft, So it's a 1700ft climb coming home. I guess I'll have to come down there to test and see if my MJ could hit 85 on that road, and also see your "collection" :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
