Yeah they draw attention until someone fires up their blower motors.....and they cruise and run faster? Thats because everyone slows down cause they think youre the Cops!! Or is being the Cops really you're secret fantasy???

That might be the dumbest line I have seen typed on OSO in a long time.

I think I know what he's saying. These two contrasting videos sum it up for me anyway.
