Tonight I was going out to work to finish up a report. Its a nice cool night and I took the 335i. Well, I was in the slow lane and I see a set of HID lights pull up on my rear bumper fast!

WTF?!? It changes lanes and it was a murdered out 350Z. Pretty much he was jabbing at his throttle getting me to run. I just stayed in the slow lane and cruised. After a minute or so of trying the driver side window rolls down and some idiot sticks his hand out and gives me a thumbs down. The guy zooms off and begins weaving through traffic.

I keep my pace and he gets stuck behind traffic. Again I am side by side with this clown and he again tries to get me to run. Well, I end up getting ahead of him, he changes lanes, and he begins to ride my ass. He was so close that I couldnt even see his headlights anymore. That's 1.

I take a exit and he follows. Perfect. I call in to my co-worker who was on beat and told him to position himself should this idiot follow me into my city. My lane splits into 2 lanes and he gets beside me. The driver looks over and says," Hey bitch.. lets see what that over priced piece of **** can do." and begins revving his engine. The light turns green and he peels out. That's 2.

Speed limit is 35 and he is doing about 50+. That's 3.

The next light turns red and we end up next to each other again. Once again I get the verbal abuse. Driver: "Come on bitch. I will smoke your ass." The Passenger: "What a ****ing *****." I turn to them and said," You never know.. there might be cops around." Not sure who said it but I heard " **** the police". The light turns red and he burns out again. That's 4.

My bluetooth goes off and its my partner working beat. I roll up my window and answer my phone. I have him a description of the car and he said he was ready. Light turns green and he sees my partner who has his unit sticking out behind a safeway store and right when he passed my buddy lit his ass up. He pulls over and I pull in behind my buddy and put on my bullet proof vest that was in my trunk.

As my partner backed me up, I went up to the car and identified myself as the police and both of them were in shock. I got his driver license, registration, and insurance. He didn't say anything. I grabbed one of my buddy's cites n hit him up for speeding, exhibition of speed- 2 counts, tinted driver and passenger side windows, and Exhaust. As I filled out the cite I told my buddy to take them out of the car and to tell the driver that his car was getting towed as well.

I went up to the driver and explained to him what I was citing him for and that the Exhibition of Speed was a misdemeanor though we weren't going to arrest him but his car was now mine.

He broke down and started to cry!!! Started whimpering and saying " I have finals tomorrow sir! How am I going to get to work?" "Please don't take my car!" The kid was 18 years old and he had to call his dad to pick him up. Needless to say the dad wasn't happy.

Tow truck came and took the car. Pretty much he's going to have to pay around 400 bucks to get the car back.
I felt no pity.

So lesson is, don't go picking races with people because you never know who you might run into. This kid learned the hard way.

Some win some fail

Fail: I actually read that, wasn't terribly exciting. No epic ownage (the dad will bail the shithead's car out and he'll be back on the road in no time). No good twist end (taser, kid wrecking his car, etc).
Win: Cop owns dumb mouthy kid and makes him cry.

WTF is the 1, 2, 3, 4 crap?

The cop counting the number of violations. Was pretty lame, but fit the level of the story.

oh man, i just posted this in the "garage" forum hehe. Still, awesome story :)
3 minutes... its what seperated the men from the boys, and the women orgasming from the women being pissed

:( :( :(
Sometimes, I wonder. What if I DIDN'T decide to post in the garage instead of OT? That probably would've saved me 1 minute of torment as I ultimately decided where I posted the post. What if I read that original thread @ TCL quicker? What if I didn't have to use the restrooms 10 minutes prior to that. Howabout this morning when I decided not to speed up to that yellow light; saving me precious minutes to work where I could've read that thread sooner? SIGH :( :( I could've won. It still gnaws at me as I could've saved a minute here, a minute there.. My life... is ruined :(

I read the TCL thread within 5 minutes of when it was posted, but decided not to post it here until today... had to make sure of its viral viability...

absolutely Epic Win. You want a nice car? Fine. You want to drive fast? Fine. You want to try and race people? Not fine.

I don't have any problem with driving fast, hell if I'm not in a residential area I'm going 10-15 over the limit, however I am paying attention to what I am doing and making smart decisions, not being a moron trying to beat someone out. It's stuff like that which gets people killed.

Hahahaa what an ass, he got what was coming to him.
I have no problem with people who think speed limits are "recommendations" .... but people who try to cause trouble like that need to be taught a lesson :)

Getting people like that to straighten out a bit should hopefully help the other 90% of us who may speed but othewise keep safe following distances and generally attempt to "do no harm"....

Nice story ... good ending ...

He didnt show any remorse, and that off duty cop gave him so many chances.

Man he showed that 18 year old not to speed. I'm glad this is such a priority. Some woman was probably raped down the road while this cop pwned this kid.

Actually if you read the thread on that site, the cop didn't care that the guy was speeding a bit. He cared that the driver was taunting and verbally abusing him, doing burnouts, and attempting to street race. By stopping him and his asshat friend, he probably saved multiple lives.

Cop = Win
You = Fail.

That is all.
