It is a rarity, when I am passing a police vehicle either when it is
occupied beside the road or coming toward me that my westy and me don't get
a sort of "twice over" look from a cop.  I wave and smile most times.

My wife's uncle who owned a 71 Westy got stopped for speeding.  He told the
officer that instead of a ticket, he should get a metal for getting the van
to go that fast.

Shortly after I got the opportunity to test the Westy's new air horns this
morning (someone sitting through a green light while waiting to make an
illegal left turn), I got on the interstate for the short hop to work.
While merging into traffic and checking the mirrors I spotted a trooper and
figured there was nothing for me to worry about, and then right after I got
up to (legal) speed his lights went on.  Turns out he was after the kid in
the Civic behind me and was I ever relieved, but it's nice to think the WBX
could accelerate fast enough to attract the attention of the fuzz.
