If you've never gotten into street racing.... it's an experience. Oh, and it's fun to lose the cops (I've done it twice in the last few years.... heh.) I do worry about getting in big trouble though.
Uh.... You've gotta be fscking kidding me.
I call BS.
You don't "lose the cops" nowdays. I also doubt you have a supercharged automobile. You probably don't know a connecting rod from your elbow.
Everybody enjoys some friendly street competition every once in a while, but you're just plain full of sh!t.
You don't lose the cops if you're actually involved in a police chase, no.
The most recent incident it was late at night, about 1 in the morning. I was heading north on hwy 121 through bedford\colleyville\euless\grapevine. 121 has concrete dividers seperating 3 lanes of traffic, each way, for the most part. ANyways, I'm cruising along heading out to the home office in Plano (vpn service was out) I was going about 85.
Now keep in mind, I drive this stretch of road every day, although usually I hit the 635E split to go into dallas, where my office is. And thus, I regularly get tickets on this stretch of highway, usually 2 or 3 a year.
Anyways, I'm cruisin along, left lane, when all of a sudden my radar detector goes off and says "Laser!" Now those of you who use radar detectors know that while the kband and other radio waves go off all the time, but nothing but cops set off the laser mode. So then I see about half a mile ahead, sitting on the left shoulder is a car, and I'm thinking, fvck me.
Now I'm not some crazy run from the law type rebel, but it so happens that I've gotten a ticket THE SAME way in the same area about 4 months ago. But in a different vehicle. And I stopped RIGHT away, and even then it took him like 3 minutes to start his car and get out on the road and over onto the other shoulder. And he still gave me a ticket, and it still kinda pissed me off.
So I'm still going like 85 when I get up to the car, and I see his tail lights come on as he starts the car and turns on his bar. At that point I buried the boost meter. There weren't many cars on the road, and I was doing about 130mph. I know the area very well, and I just hit the next exit (Hall Johnson) took a left, followed Hall Johnson to hwy 26, took 26 back to 114, 114 to 121 North, and back on my way.
Damn, that took FOREVER to type out. Anyways, so it's not like I evaded the helicopter and 10 squad cars. I just never let him get close to me.
