Well i have two instances that will forever be on my mind. One involving me just flat out running a crown vic cop, and one getting out of a ticket for a 130 mph (no exaggeration).
The firstwas inHattiesburg, MS. I was out there training soldiers to go to Iraq. I hadjust got my diablo tuner for my99 gt vert that i only had for a month. I wanted to test it outon I59. I get on the interstate(whichat this time was only a couple weeks after MS cops just got radar detectors for their cars) and punch it up to 100 and acop passes me on the opposite end of the interstate, andi slow down out offear. I see him bust a U-turn, lights go on and i make the stupid decision to run. I tell you what, that was the most fun i ever had (almost wet my pants out of fear though). I punched it up to about 135-40. till I reach two truckers blocking both lanes, so i ride the shoulder, pass them, take the next exit and run down a back road. lost him! damn i was scared but from then on i run unless they see my tags (i have too many tickets to just let them pull me over).
The second was in middle GA (small town highways). I was just having fun running down this 2 lane highway because i had just got some long tube headers and full offroad pipes. i'm passing people on this 2 lane road at speeds exceeding 100 becaude there's just never cops out here. well i calm down and start doing 75 in the 55. this cop passes by me on the opposite side of the hwy and i saw him U-turn further back (maybe 1/4 mile) so i punched it till i reached the next town (lost the cop way before i reach this town). i slow down to posted speed limit. after 5 min. or so, that some cop comes up behind me flashing lights so i pull over (no choice now). he tells me I passed an unmarked cop car doing 130 and was i aware of this. i told him no. He said that cop called him out there to check me out and he passed me doing 75 in the 55 and he also mentioned that i seemed to speed up after i passed him because he chased me for 10 miles. To this I also claimed to be unaware of the circumstances (i was freaking scared, thought i was going to jail). I was shaking and he asked why i was so shook up, i told him my mother was sick and i had to get to her in a hurry (thought it was lame at the time but...). He said "well if your" as soon as he said that the guy on the radio told him i have 3 speeding tickets already. my heart dropped. He said well it's your lucky day, i'm gonna let you get to your mom but i'm gonna let every cop in the area to know to watch out for you. Huh???? He even complimented me on my car "you don't want to wreck that pretty thing now do you" he asked me... well i know next time, i better lie my ass off!

Maybe one of the truckers took down your plate number and radioed-in the report...Did you ever think of that? You should, because it happened to me a month ago on I-5, and I was only doing 93mph......You have a death wish driving around trucks on the shoulder......NUMBSKULL!!
