This man quickly became the coolest cop ever when he let a speeding driver off on Thanksgiving, asking him to rev his engine instead.

The driver's friend videos the whole exchange as the cropped-haired policeman begins writing a ticket out.

But just a few seconds pass before he says: "It's a nice ride man, what the hell is it?"

The driver, clearly seeing his chance, tells him its a supercharged eight cylinder AMG engine, and cost him a whopping $100,000.

The shocked officer asks if it's in park, before getting the delighted driver to rev the engine for him.

The roar from the bonnet puts any worries of a punishment to rest as the policeman grins and the lucky pair laugh.

The driver reveals he works for an oil and gas company, and the cop asks: "Man are you hiring? Because these guys don't pay for s**t."

With a light-hearted warning to slow down, he walks off and forgets all about the ominous paper in his hand.
