And then you woke up.

Smokey can't touch me, with my RB26dett and full Skyline conversion plus mods... 500 WHP. The ATTESSA really helps to 4 wheel drift on those dirt roads. Haven't been caught yet.
93.5 power octane? Try 102.

I told you guys, Nissan owns all.

hmmm, never challenged a cop car at a red light yet....something to do my day off tomorrow 😀😉

They aren't that fast unless it's a Mustang or Camaro. Realistically, I could outrun one with my car. Outrunning all his friends is another story though.

Yeah, it's tough to outrun the radio.

Yes, I got that sagely advice from my father too. Your car may be fast but it can't outrun the speed of radio.
Course if I invented a car that could outrun the speed of radio I'd probably never have to worry about it because I'd be rich and could fly almost everywhere in my helicopter. 😛
 
I remember one slow night with nothing really happening on the radio. Just a typical Friday night. This guy gets pulled over because his stickers have expired. Officer radios in for a tow truck and a cab to take the guy home. Then the officer gets an emergency call that he must leave because there was a call of help that an officer was down a mile away. (Domestic dispute where a guy hit another officer with a baseball bat but that's another story--so much for a quiet night!)

About 15 minutes goes by and dispatch comes back because the tow truck is looking for the car and the taxi driver said there is no car or person to be picked up!

The guy just left, probably went home and got his stickers. That's all I know but it was funny hearing it come over the squawker. 🙂

Cheers!

I smoke police cruisers in the max on a weekly basis. Haven't been caught yet. Trick is to gun it hard as soon as you pass a checkpoint because they'll call in the heavy guns if they realize you're not going to pull over so you've got to cover some serious distance in a hurry. I generally top out at 160 or so and pull off 1-2 exits later depending on the area and how far the exits are. Chopper assistance is not likely in this area so that definitely helps the situation.
That's just cruel if someone happens by and believes it. Bad Schmabbles. 😛

It's true - and the comment about the Camaro or mustangs below - yeah they do pose more of a problem and I've seen some 5.0s used at radar traps on the outskirts of atlanta but I'm doing about 390 hp (est) at the flywheel, so unless the fuzz has something else under the hood besides the stock V8 he's still got his hands full when he flicks the lights and soon realizes he's bitten off more than he can chew.
Wow, that Maxima's really running strong eh? 😉 🙂

Maxima? I thought ol' Skrob drove a Sentra. The cop could catch up to that walking.

so i was driving along, going 50 in a 35 zone, i didn't see this cop car, with all the lights off sitting on the curb before it was too late. right after i pass it, the blinking lights go on, car comes to life, and peels out right behind me. I went "SH!T!!" and started to slow down and pull over, and 1 block later, the cop car whips into the far left lane, makes a U-turn and goes screaming off in the other direction. 😱:| i bet that bastard was laughing his ass off.

Reminds me of Super Troopers LOL

Cop1: 'What is that I smell?'
*kids frantically venting out weed smoke*
Cop2:... FEAR.

my theory is that he was just responding to the original call in the first place, but why he tailed me for a block on an empty road before making the U-turn first is beyond me. Here in Hawaii I *think* that police cars need to have at least their running lights on at night to pull you over.
Do some of the Police in Hawaii still use their own personal cars as Police cars?

 
Isn't it ironic that at the bottom of this thread, for those non-subscribers, there is an evade a traffic ticket, radar detector, ad? 😀
