Last month I had a few issues with the Tudor 1929. It was stalling and backfiring. After doing several changes, the car sounded good. So I went to test it with the mechanic in a big parking lot a few blocks near the garage. Car did well till the parking lot. Suddenly started to backfire again. But this time was really strong. Two, three backfires and suddenly 2 police SUVs with the lights on arrived. The mechanic and I were in the car. They come one on each side and with a big smile they asked " are you guys working on this car" the answer was YES. Then they started to laugh and one said "neighbors called because they heard gun shootings". We all laughed, I apologized for the issue. They took a good look to the car because they liked and waited to help us on our way back to the garage in case the car stopped in the middle of the route.
