Pulled over by police...

My wife was driving the Genesis with me in the passenger seat. Police car comes up from behind and flashes his lights, so I get pretty irritated because about 5 minutes earlier I made a comment about her driving a bit over the speed limit. The officer comes to the window as my wife was freaking out and he immediately says she did nothing wrong. He said that he ran the plates checking for stolen vehicles, and when it came up as a Hyundai he couldn't verify that's what we were driving since I have the rear wing emblem. He thought that maybe we had switched the plates because the car looked like a Bentley or something similar. He then precedes to let us go once we stopped and he was able to get a better look at the car. Other than making us a couple minutes late to our destination I thought this was hilarious and knew some of you would get a kick out of it.

Well... I guess I'd be pretty happy if that happened to me. I might have even offered a "trade" until the next exit or something, 'cause that's how I roll.

Good Story!

I got pulled over earlier this year for making a illegal U-turn. Lucky I got a Warning.....The Cop filled out the warning ticket 'Chrysler' under Make.

I wonder if you can get out of a ticket if a cop misidentifies your car...

Oftentimes, yes. But these days they usually get the vehicle info from the computer retrieval of license plate info.
