Being courteous, respectful, and not driving like a BOZO goes a long way.
For me the "older" LEO's have more tolerance.

Glad it came it in your favor.

they "warn" constantly is my experience, and we write each other nice letters back and forth. supporting generously benevolent societies is always a good thing but that should only EVER be done in the spirit of the thankfulness that many ( if not all of us? ) should feel for their daily and largely unnoticed and "UNTHANKED EFFORTS"!

i'll give you a tip. if you have broken man's and/or chp's "laws"? or even crossed that invisible yet clearly perceptible line that could be arbited either way depending upon the "mood" or general "feeling" of the only one holding the carbon copied yellow/green pad?? ( and are fully cognizant of it? )

just pull over, engine off, hands @ 10 + 2 o'clock position on the wheel waiting patiently at the nearest/safest spot to have pulled over? and wait for them, papers in hand looking guilty..and don't talk about the weather.

Washed my 996 Turbo and then paused to admire how good the OEM red brake calipers look with the OEM wheels...

Looks good, I do like stock wheels the best. Your pic would look even better if you took it for a quick spin after the wash to get the surface rust off of the rotors.
