Be thankful, you didn't hand him cash. You'd have ended up in jail!! :)
Tell me - off list - where you got your speedo done, as I have to get mine
done.

I was following a CHP on a 2-lane highway (HWY 49 near Jackson, CA). My
speedo said he was doing 50mph in a 55, so when a passing lane came up I
thought 'what the heck' and went around him. The red light came on
immediately, and I pulled over ASAP. When he asked why I passed him I told
him 'because you were doing 50 in a 55' and he replied 'well, my speedometer's
calibrated and you passed me at almost 60.' Since I just had my speedo
re-geared and calibrated (I thought) for my 3.54 rearend--at $200--I was
completely befuddled and p*ssed off. I kept mumbling 'g&dd#m it, I just spent
$200 on this speedometer' and was so flustered I handed the CHiP my American
Express card instead of my license.
He laughed and let me go with a 'better get that speedometer fixed.' We used
a GPS to check speed the rest of the trip.
