We go by one of the spots where troopers hide and sure enough one pulls out behind us. But he doesn't pull us over, he just hangs out behind us for about ten miles. Then, suddenly two more trooper cars show up and pull us over. All three get out of their cars, but only one approaches us and asks for license and registration. He takes it back to his vehicle and comes back a couple of minutes later and says OK and turns to leave. My buddy asks what happened and the trooper says they recveived notice of a bank robbery about 90 miles away and the only description they had was two guys in a green car with a noisy muffler. That was our excitement for the day! My buddy had been thinking about taking the last exit before we were pulled over just to see if he could get rid of the trooper that was following us. Glad we didn't! Anyway, these things happen. If it was just one cop, I don't think they seriously considered you a crime suspect. At least you got a cool story out of it. And maybe even a shadowy conspiracy! -Dave</blockquote>
