I got pulled over in my Bronco. (Spoiler, he just wanted to look at it up close.)

[R.A.N.M.J.]

That's basically it. Cop pulled me over yesterday, asked if I were in a hurry to go anywhere after he took my license, LTC and registration. Spent a few minutes asking questions about the vehicle. Engine, performance, etc. I tried not be to annoyed, it was a younger guy and he was obviously excited to see one in person, but it still kind of annoyed me. If he had followed me half a block further he would have seen me pull into Dugg's for lunch and could have talked to me there.

Told me to have a nice day and thanked me for my time.

Coincidentally enough, I had another police officer compliment it on the same stretch of road two days before. He was riding passenger and saw I had my window down and he rolled down his window and said "Nice ride!" and gave me a thumbs up as his partner was passing me.

At this point, I've been stopped about eight times in parking lots by people asking questions. I had a guy walk up to me at the gun range and start asking question because he saw me get out of it on my way in.

Lots of waves from Jeepers and lots of waves from random people. Quite a few thumbs up, especially when I'm just sitting stopped at places.

The most frequent comments I get are, "I love this color!" and "Wow! The two door is way bigger than I thought it would be!" Well, along with, "This doesn't look like the Broncos I've seen! What is this?"

All in all, it gets a lot of attention. I just hope I don't get pulled over again.

I'm thankful for the cops. Still, my heart skips a beat when I see a blue light turn on in my rearview. That would annoy me going through all that for him just to talk about my ride.

Could you please share a picture of your 2 door? I live in a small tourist town. No full size broncos around. I'm sure I will be stopped too if and when I finally get mine

Red cars have always attracted the law.

Were you actually speeding? Be honest.

Although he didn't mean anything negative by it, that is slightly annoying. It's even stranger that he took your papers/licence, even though he was just pulling you over to check out your vehicle??

Nope. I don't speed, I'm never in a hurry. I was probably doing two or three under the limit.

I'm pretty sure they have to ask for that if they stop you. I think it's compulsory if they make the stop. They don't have to run it, just a visual check at minimum, I believe.

I still have dealer plates on my truck.

She's a beaut Clark

Love this story! I personally have never gotten out of a ticket but knowing that the police admire the new Bronco...gives me hope!

I see that as paying it forward. One day you may get pulled over by the same cop for something you actually did and he may let you off because you were nice to him in your first encounter.

Karma - it’s a real thing!

I was stopped Saturday morning. But unfortunately he wanted to know why I was going 40 in a 30! He gave me a warning and then started asking about the Bronco! Whew!
