Default Cops love Audis (long story ensues)

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/535/a6_front_left.jpg"></center><p>So I'm driving home from work a couple of weeks ago in the 2.7T, down a surface street with a 35 mph speed limit. Had just gotten the 4.2 sport wheels installed, and the car is clean. It looks great, and I'm happy with the result of the wheel/tire upgrade, and with the car in general. It's Friday night, and I'm looking forward to a great weekend.

Four lane road, two each direction. Ahead of me is a Grand Rapids cop car, going about 31 or 32. I decide to pass him. Why not? Certainly nothing wrong with driving the full speed limit, right?

As I glide by at about 35 or 36, I notice there are two cops in the car, both seem to be checking me out. They pick up the pace, matching my speed, in the left lane. Yes, I am getting nervous for some stupid reason.

I pull up to a red light, and can FEEL the cops pulling up slowly beside me on my left side, into the left turn lane. I am in the straight lane. I have the windows down. I can now see the front bumper of the cop, and then they are directly beside me.


"Nice ride, Steve" I hear. I turn and look at the cop in the passenger seat, who is grinning from ear to ear. "Did you just run my plate?" I ask him, wondering how in the world he would know my name. "Yep" he says. "I wanted to see what year your A6 was. It's a beautiful car"

"Thanks" I tell him.

As the turn light goes green and they start to move, he says "By the way, you have fourteen days until your tag expires. Have a nice weekend." They speed off, all of us laughing.

Maybe cops aren't so bad after all....

Great story. Do you have the PSK suspension on your car? Ride height looks perfect.

What tires are you using 245 or 255 and did you need spacers or different offset
