Finally some good news for myself --->

I'm finally going to be a cop. On Monday 2/23/04 I officially get sworn in at Maitland Police Department. It's been a long long process with the Academy and hiring process but i'm finally in. I lost my job last year and could not get hired on anywhere to do insurance. With that and wrecking my car it's been a rough year to say the least. Hopefully Monday will be the start of brighter things!! I have about 4 months of training before they let me loose, I'll keep you guys posted on my progress!! Alright bring on the donut jokes......... :D

good luck and congrats. Just remember my car and dont pull it over ;)

Congrats.... Just don't loose yourself in the job and carry it over into other things.

sweet

:)

you remember what my car looks like right? :)

That's awesome Kumar! You get to walk around with a gun, drive someone elses car, and get paid for it :D

Awesome!

congrats.... by the way check the link in my sig, and remember my car :)

BTW I have a small piece of one of your front turn signals in my car as a good luck charm :)

Eric I got a good laugh out of that one!
If I let all you guys go how am I supposed to get practice??:eek:
I supposed as a general rule if I see an F-bod i'll just turn the other cheek :thumb:

Good deal Kumar, good things come to people who wait. Be safe out their.

hear a neat story the other day...something like this...

guy goes to college for 4 years, get degree, wants to join FBI. FBI says pack sand, join a local police force and get some actual police experience. or maybe the border patrol.

goes home Mom & Pop;s house, applies for EVERY law enforcement posn avail, Sheriff, Deputy, city cop, Border Patrol, CIA, just everything.

about to give up & go McD's, and gets 2 phone calls on same day:

- uh, yeah, this the Border Patrol in texas (?) you been accepted. you need to buy: a 9mm handgun, 4 sets of working uniforms and a plane ticket to Texas, and report to school, and then we will start paying you.

second phone call:
- this is the Sarasota Deputy office, we want you to report to work for training.
uh yeah, we start paying you when you report to work monday for training, why?

guess who he works for now?

Kumar, sounds like God is answering your prayers. Dude, If I was you, I'd say a big prayer each night before I got in a Squad car. there's some idiots out there.

think Jax had 3 murders in one week in one area, and Fernandina had 2 rapes in $$$ areas last month.

Good luck, and keep us safe.

thanks john, i definatley will try to be safe. I don't believe in pulling people over for stupid crap, and i'm no hero by any stretch. The less confrontations the better

also don't forget to tell some buddies about a NBM V6 camaro with zr1 rims... and how he really obeys the speed limit and breaks it a few times because he really has to :D

congrats again though....

Hey KUMAR .... Thats GREAT! Congrats Man! Just think .... drive like hell, carry a gun, and all the choclate glazed you can eat! It just doesn't get any better than that. Except maybe a couple of plates of "discount" wings from Gators. Oh yeah ... i forgot about the hand-cuffs and we won't talk about the nightstick!

later ... Larry S.

:eek: :D

congrats, kumar

im almost through the processing with portorange right now.
hopefully ill be posting soon with my hire date.

we should go get a dounut soon..lol
you and nate g. will be great cops.
later
josh

p.s. if nate says {get her done} more than twice a day hit him hard for me!:D

thanks josh, tommorow is the big day! I'll tell Nate you said 'sup!

Thats great to hear. Looks like things are looking up.

My car looks just like yours(well minus a few dents) but it is white with tan. Not that you will ever need to know that, wink. wink.

Anyway, hows the car coming? THe offer to help with the rebuild or whatever it needs still stands.

Donut jokes....nah, but I do remember a few donuts in the old white Z after the new torque converter.

I was @ the track when you wrecked, but didn't know it was you til later. Sorry to hear about that. Whatever happened? If there's anything I can do to help, let me know.

Now we all need to know your last name so we can drop the "Kumar bomb" if someone else in Maitland pulls us over!! My cop-friends hate it when I do that to them.

Who ever knew 4 years ago when I was sitting in your car going 90 on Alafaya that you'd be on the opposite side of the law one day?

i pulled all the busted panels on the Z, the car needs to go to a shop to have the bumper support and rear fender pulled out. Right now i'm just waiting on my first paycheck so I can get the ball rolling on getting this fixed. It will probably be a few months when I get all the pieces and the car back from the shop, i'll keep you guys posted when I have a "re-assembly party" !!

ehh its drivable, might as well take it to the track again before its fixed :)


i forgot, you ever figure out where it was leaking from/

yeah there is a plastic little tube that hangs down located on the very bottom of the radiator, below the drain valve. that had cracked and that's where the leak is coming from. I epoxied it up and it looks like it's gonna hold... just gotta run some water through it
