Cop stop number 7

Here we go again. Another local cop pulled me over, the excuse this time was to check if my license plates were correct since they were an old (16 year old) SC license plate design mounted on what looked to the cop to be a new futuristic car. I recently painted my car and it cleaned up very nicely. All of those people who were carping about "rough as a shipping pallet" and "ugly as sin" will have to take their words back. The paint smoothed out all of the seams and rivets and it now looks like a jet aircraft fuselage on wheels. From a distance and at night you can't even see the wheels, so it looks like it is hovering just above the ground "a la Star Wars". Anyway after he brought back the license/registration/insurance info he popped the question, "What kind of car is this and whats all the stuff on it for?" and I explained that it started out as a Honda Civic which I modified to improve the mileage and told him what mileage I was getting, etc, etc. He was very interested in my answers.
