When I drove tractor trailer regional, I had a GTO license plate attached to the front bumper. Got pulled into the Delphos OH scales on US30 for an inspection. Scale operator was watching the front of the truck, for lights out, etc. Ohio trooper walked to the back of the trailer to check lights, tires, etc.
As the trooper is walking back up front, the scalehouse guy motions the trooper to come up front, and starts pointing at something. The trooper takes a look, and walks back to the drivers side of the tractor. "Oh SXXT, here it comes" I'm thinking. He walks up to the window, and says "what year GTO ya got?" referring to my plate. I said "65, and 68, both hardtops". He then starts telling me about the 69 Judge he was restoring. I'm figuring on a ticket. and he wanted to talk shop!
