It used to be that, if you were pulled over on an interstate in Greenville or Spartanburg county, it was either a marked car, or an unmarked dark blue or silver Crown Vic or Camaro.
Well last night, I found out that Greenville county is starting to go a little more stealth. I was coming down I-385 in the far right lane doing 5 over when a CLK Benz in the far left came by doing about 20 over give or take. He made an odd lane change, just didn't seem right, kind of drunk like. He also had one of his headlights out, only a parking light on that side working. About 300ft back I see something else coming up fast and I said;
"Hey Viki, what do you want to bet, that car coming up the middle lane is a state trooper?"
It turns out to be a Crown Vic and pulls up beside us. Beige with an old beige interior, what looks like a regular Joe in the drivers seat, no tinted windows, no visible lights (but it is dark) standard civi license plate, and a Dale Earnhardt "8" in the bottom right corner of the rear window.
"No, it's not a cop" Viki said confidently.
But then the Vicky slows down as he's beside me and pauses for a moment.
I see lights flicker on the dash near the radio on a box like contraption. I know it's not XM or some crazy stuff like that, it's moving instant on Radar!
BAM! Lights go wild in the Crown Vic and he pulls the tard over!
Glad it wasn't me, but Greenville County finally realized what "stealth" is.
Watch out ya'll, for any and every Crown Victoria and Camaro on the Highway, and the new age Impalas that run mostly around the city/county, but also on the highway! I know some of you will travel through here a lot, especially Carolina members going to see your ATL peeps!
