My wife once got pulled over in my Z28 so the cop could check out my car.
She was initially pissed at me because she was running late and thought I called the cops on her. The guy asked her to pop the hood and everything! ( It did have a tankful of 100 octane and smelled good, so I think that got his interest
)
In my much younger days, I worked at a tire store and thus, had access to all kinds of free used tires. During one of my daily monster brake stands for the neighbors, a cop came down a side street and watched the whole thing. The neighbor was able to see the whole event unfold and said the cop had to wait awhile for all the smoke to clear before he could take off and catch me! I never seen him the whole time.
A mile down the road I see a cop car basically in my trunk. He seemed to appear out of nowhere and he wasn't too happy.
I got pulled over and he comes to the window and says "What kind of stunt was that!?" Thinking he didn't see my smoke show, I played dumb and said "What stunt?" It looked like a vein in his head was going to burst.
The ticket was for 'unnecessary/unreasonable acceleration' but went on my record as a speed. Dang it.
