Corvette on Top Gear




In case you all haven't figures this out. I LOVE CORVETTE'S. The new ZO6 looks like an amazing car to me. I love that they are American, and I love that they cost so much less than many other sports cars. I definitely don't agree with his boy band reference, and wish he didn't already have so much distaste for Corvette's but never the less, this is still a good clip on the Vettes.

Cop Lines

- "Take your hands off the car, and I'll make your birth certificate a worthless document."

- "If you run, you'll only go to jail tired."

-
"Can you run faster than 1,200 feet per second? In case you didn't
know, that is the average speed of a 9 mm bullet fired from my gun."

- "So you don't know how fast you were going. I guess that means I can write anything I want on the ticket, huh?"

- "Warning! You want a warning? O.K., I'm warning you not to do that again or I'll give you another ticket."

- "The answer to this last question will determine whether you are drunk or not. Was Mickey Mouse a cat or a dog?"

-
"Fair? You want me to be fair? Listen, fair is a place where you go to
ride on rides, eat cotton candy, and step in monkey poop."

- "Yeah, we have a quota. Two more tickets and my wife gets a toaster oven."


- "Just how big were those two beers?"

- "No sir, we don't have quotas anymore. We used to have quotas, but now we're allowed to write as many tickets as we want."

- "I'm glad to hear the Chief of Police is a good personal friend of yours. At least you know someone who can post your bail."

- "In God we trust, all others are suspects."

Trooper Calvin Jenks

NASHVILLE (AP) - State officials said Sunday they had arrested two teens
they believed were responsible for the killing of a state trooper who
was shot during a traffic stop in western Tennessee.

The 24-year-old trooper pulled over two men and was trying to get them
out of the vehicle Saturday night when he was shot twice, according to
footage from the patrol car's video camera. At least one bullet struck
him in the head, said Mike Browning, a Department of Safety spokesman.

On Sunday, Alejandro Guana, 17, and Orlando Garcia, 19, were arrested
without incident at a hotel near downtown Nashville, Tennessee Bureau of
Investigation spokeswoman Jennifer Johnson said.

"After interviewing the two men we feel confident we have the two people
in custody that murdered the state trooper," TBI director Mark Gwyn
said.

Hunters found Trooper Calvin Jenks' body beside his patrol car near the
intersection of two state highways, Browning said.

Authorities believed the suspects were carrying drugs and drove toward
Nashville after the shooting in Tipton County, just north of Memphis,
Browning said before Sunday's arrests.

Jenks smelled marijuana on the driver, Browning said. When Jenks asked
the man whether he had drugs in the car, the suspect eventually admitted
there were drugs in the center console, Browning said.

Jenks went back to the passenger and asked him whether he had drugs. The
man said he didn't, then opened fire, Browning said.
Investigators found what they believe is Jenks' flashlight in a garbage
can at a Wal-Mart in Brownsville, 13 miles east of the scene of the
shooting.

Jenks, 24, had been a trooper for two years and transferred to the
Tipton area from Marshall County in 2005 to be closer to his new wife,
he said.
