LMAO at caravan of ricers :)

So I was with my friend in his '86 Camaro.. just a V6, nothing special, when we stop next to some ricers at a red light. My friend revs it a couple times but isn't actually set on racing. The light turns green and he takes off fast, but slows his acceleration. The ricer next to us sounds like a lawnmower as he flies by us.

That was funny in itself, but what's funnier is that soon 3-4 more ricers were flying by us left and right. They were all going at LEAST 90 (55mph), probably around 100 (62mph) on this boulevard. We sped up to 90-100 (55 - 62mph) ourselves as it really is a nice cruising speed for that road (which has a limit of 50 (30mph)). I thought we were going around the speed limit because all the cars around us were going the same speed, but I looked at the speedo and we were going about 100 (62mph). We looked behind us, and everyone BEHIND us was going the same speed too! Some old fart in a buick passed us going 110 (68mph)! An old fart wanted to join in on it!

I've never, ever seen anything like that in my life 🙂
 
wish I could have recorded it.. need to get a camcorder and driving around recording stuff like this 🙂
 
Which blvd are you referring to? I'm assuming you mean St-Charles or St-Jean. 100 on St-Charles would be pretty stupid, especially if it was on the part near the 20. Past the 40 wouldn't be as bad though as the roads are better and wider.

So you didn't do any more uncle ben hunting other than that?
 
The road you really gotta be careful on is Pierrefonds blvd, it's so wide and it's straight for the most part. But there are popo's on it all over the place on it. St-Charles isn't bad, but watch out for coppers, one of my friends got a speeding ticket last week for going 103 in a 70 (that's kmh, for you yankees), It cost him $175, and 3 pts. Just a heads-up

We were on st-jean's boulevard between the 20 and the 40. St-jean's and st-charles are built the same way so what are you talking about? 🙂 Well.. st-charles is a little rough but it's still wide and straight. Aren't you supposed to be in bed? 😉

Yeah, just about all the cops we saw tonight were close to Pierrefonds blvd. There's ALWAYS a cop on the corner of Pierrefonds and st-charles!

Tell your friend to contest it if he didn't already 🙂 103 in a 70 on st-charles? I thought that road was 50 all the way through (although it SHOULD be 70!)

hey Marc (zCypher).. when we were going down beaurepaire on the way home some guy taped some cut-out black plastic over the speed limit sign so now it looks like 80 instead of 30! That's pretty damn funny.. "Well officer, I was going at the posted limit of 80.." lmao. Oh, and guess where all those ricers turned off from the boulevard? That's right, Cheers 😉 (though there were some at Cafe Depot too)

It wasn't in the West-Island, he told me it was somewhere up north

ahh..

I got a nasty one back in Feb. for going 120 in the ville marie tunnel. It was a huge operation and they were pulling over dozens by the minute (because everyone was speeding so they could pull whoever they wanted)... 5 pts 🙁

alright, I guess you guys had to have been there. I just found 4-5 ricers sounding like damn lawnmowers and flying down a road and the old geezers getting in on it too pretty funny.😕
