'Sup BROS?
Man- picture this:
You just got finished flipping the air cleaner, tightening the lugs on your new (to you) wide Cragers (only in the back) and did a 'pretty good' job wipin' down your '83 El Camino...
As you're cruising your local bowling alley parking lot, DIO's Holy Diver comes on the radio.
perfect.
Two blocks later however, things take a turn for the worse when you see red and blue lights in your (euro) side mirror.
Relax Bros, Dirt Rodder has got your covered with some quick tips on how to not get hassled by the man:
Turn down the Whitesnake
Now anyone reading this KNOWS that David Coverdale and the boys rock that shit- they rock it! But you know who doesn't know it? The cops, bro- that's who. Show some respect for Johnny Law, and turn the radio off.
Consider a smaller '3' sticker for the back window
Why give the cops a reason, bro? Look, it's clear God needed a driver, and while Dale Earnhardt (god rest his soul) was the Intimidator, your 'in memory of' sticker is not going to intimidate the police.
DO NOT challenge the officer to a fist fight
Cool out, bro. Look, we both know you could take him in a fair fight, but doesn't the fact that your cruising an El Camino proof enough that you're a bad-ass? Not sure?... give that mustache of yours a glance in the rearview... see, total bad-ass.
Just tell the cops you bought like that
Don't give up the goods, just tell them you bought your dirt rod with the upside down air filter cover / cherry bombs / 10" wide tires in the back / tinted windows / front "night prowler" decal / chain steering wheel / etc...
Just remember bros, a little respect can go a long way. Shit, man- it might even be the difference between cruising past the high school girls, or walking past.
