My brother in law and I went to the west coast of florida early this morning to go see a and possibly buy a  69 camaro in Fort Myers.
Anyhow we are crossing alligator alley and we are driving a new demo from one of our stores Lexus ES 350 and we are moving along cruise control set at about 95-100 mph.This freaking car you do not feel anything it feels like you are going 30 mph.Well we are more than half way on the alligator alley and hiding behind a the side of a bridge there he was a county sherrif when my brother in law saw him it was too late and we knew we were getting stopped. Well we pull over even before the LEO caught up to us. My brother in law has his liscense already in his hand waiting for the officer to come up to the window. Officer very politely says good morning sir I clocked you at 94 on a 70 mph zone so I need your drivers liscense, registration and insurance card.My brother in law hands him the liscense and tells him that the registration and the insurance card are in the glovebox but he is not reaching for it, he then repeats himself back to the officer about the registration and insurance card being in the glove box so I say to the officer,there are two guns inside the glovebox and we want to let you know before I get the registration and insurance card from the glovebox, by the way I have a conceal weapons permit so I get my wallet out and show him  the permit and my liscense and he says "thank you" for letting me know about the guns take them out and put them on the dash, I do so and hand him the paperwork he asked for. My brother in law asked him if he would give him a break because we both drive company cars from our dealers and the insurance company is very sensitive to tickets because the millions of dollars in liability. Officer asked him if his liscense was good and he said yes have not had a ticket in years, he goes to his patrol unit few minutes go by and he returns and says today is your lucky day I am letting you off with a warning but with one condition you need to let me check that bad ass Kimber Tactical of course we say sure my brother in law takes the clip out and the bullet of the chamber and hands the gun over this officer was in love with this gun he was just going on and on about how bad ass the gun was, so picture this we are on the side of the road with a cop car behind us and this officer aiming the gun into the everglades for a few seconds can you imagine what the people driving by were thinking seeing this. This officer was the coolest LEO I have seen in many years.He told us stay under 80mph and no one will bother you, have a great day!!!!  Needless to say the Camaro turned out to not be as great as the owner described it, but we had a good day anyways....Thought I would share with all of you!!!!

So, what was the Camaro like?

We saw three camaros and all three of them did not make one good one, freaking rust buckets. People have no respect for money the one guy was asking 24k, it was not worth 5k in my book
