I hit the check point driving from El Paso To Carlsbad Caverns. The guy at the check point randomly asked to look in my trunk. I was in a rental car. I said sure, and popped it and said tell me what's back there as I didn't open the trunk when I rented the car. Was a little weird though that he asked. I was alone and maybe he thought I was a mule.
it’s a weird feeling isn’t it? Lol
When I got out the Marines I used to drive from Las Cruces through El Paso to Carlsbad all the time to see a girl I was dating. Those guys at that particular one are very thorough and have you do random shit.
One time in particular I was going through at like 2am and in my 1985 twin turbo 300zx I used to have. I pulled up and waited for about 7 minutes, guy finally comes out says “Pull up over there by the lift turn the car off and get out and stand by the lift.” So I’m like okay.
Guy comes and looks at my little car runs the dog through it, nothing happens, then he says “You stashing anything illegal, do drugs etc? I see you have a high and tight, you in the army or what?”
At this point I’m pretty tired from driving so I let him know I just got discharged from the Marines etc.
He smirks and says “ Yeah? That guy in the station that owns this Navigator is a Marine to, are you as dumb as he is?” I didn’t pay much attention to this point and realized this new Navigator was on the lift and they have the gas tank off and at least 200 keys of coke within arms reach of me. Woke my ass up pretty fast.
2 million dollars plus doesn’t take up a huge area.
