I recall sitting in a snow storm for hours lined up behind Cobo waiting to get in with a vehicle...8-10 inches on the ground....it was a mess. This was maybe in 1980.
There were literately 100's cars & trailers lined up @ 10am. I think we made it in around 7-8pm.
So while were sitting in this long ass line, a Detroit cop decides to knock on my window and tell me I'm blocking traffic (which I was not) and to move. I'm like, your joking right, Ive been in this line for hours and I'm only 10 vehicles from the door, and you want me to get out of line, but yet everyone else gets to stay. WTF. I was pissed. Selective enforcement. He continued and said move or I'm going to impound your truck & trailer. I was fn pissed.... hes in the street carrying on... yelling at me. I got out and spoke to the guy behind me & in front of me.... told them this cop was a dick and needed them to hold my spot for me.... They agreed. I pulled forward and down the block... powered over the curb & snow bank and parked just on the edge the road ....dragging the trailer(I had a Monster Dodge Power wagon that would go through anything). Cop was in dis belief. He got even more pissed....I was in knee high snow.... I bitched out my window and told him I'm no longer blocking traffic... pointed at all the other cars and said go make them move.... he walked away and left me alone. We got inside and just about immediately they were bitching at me to pull my truck outside.... we pulled out a cooler of beer, locked the truck and went around looking at everyone's cars. They are on the PA bitching for me to move my truck (which was in the way of no one... just leaving a huge puddle of water from the melting snow...lol... finally bumped into Al Manor... he resolved the parking issue... Some how I don't miss those days.... fun but a lot of work .
