NEW PICS UP!

I'm sorry to rant but EVERYTHING was fine until the cops decided to show up. I'm pretty upset, here is the story.

This morning I decided to go on a photo shoot with my new wheels, so I got up early washed and waxed the car and headed over to Ocean Beach with my girlfriend. We get to Ocean Beach and the weather was super nice, perfect opportunity to take some photos. I parked my car and got all set up. 30 minutes into the shoot a cop comes rolling by and stops where I'm parked.

COP: What are you doing taking up three parking spots?
ME: I'm taking some pictures of my car, cause its a nice day.

The cop walks around and inspects my car.

COP: Why do you have such a big wing on the rear of your car?
ME: It comes stock like this from the dealership.
COP: Are you sure? It seems like its obstructing your view while driving.
ME: No, not at all.

The cop then walks to the front of the car.

COP: Why do you have this banner over your windshield? I know this is not stock from the dealership.
ME: Yeah your correct there, these are the people who worked on my car, I wanted to give them recognition for their work.
COP: You know I'm going to have to ask you to take that banner off because it's obstructing your view.
ME: NO IT'S NOT!
COP: Fix your parking and take that banner off or I will have to give you a citation.
ME: (saying to myself, "F*** this cop, I should RUN HIM OVER!!!")


Mad Props to Mach III! Thanks to Henry and Wyman!
