"We'll just call this a warning. Sweet truck."

So I swapped in an intake that matched my cam better this weekend. While doing so I saw a carbon build up on the valves. After finishing up and getting everything dialed, I ran a little Sea Foam through to clean the carbon. If you have used Sea Foam before you know it says "let soak for at least 10 minutes then drive aggressively".
Well, the changes to the motor worked well and the can said drive aggressively....
Loud, fast, and sideways around one to many corners and here come the flashing blue lights. As the officers (there were 4 in the 1 car) approached I couldn't manage to wipe the grin off my face. "Sorry Sir. I just finished upgrading my motor and I seem to have gotten carried away.
"We'll just call this a warning. Sweet truck. Have a good night."

Re: "We'll just call this a warning. Sweet truck."

The main street in our town is named Race street. Imagine that. Do the locals have a sense of humor toward "aggressive" driving? Noooooo.
You got a freeby!

Re: "We'll just call this a warning. Sweet truck."

I'm guessing the reckless driving, speeding, running a red light, no inspection sticker ticket would have hurt.
Lucky for sure!
