A Great Ride To Work UNTILL....

I figured this was a fun story to share.

It was a great ride to work this morning in North Jersey. The radio was keeping me entertained. The weather was in the late 20's. The sun was just peeking out. And I was trailing down I-95. The car felt great so I figured what the hell. I was already doing about 90 so I pushed the boost to about 10 (2/3 throttle). The car pulled past 100, 110 & coming to 120 when I past two New Jersey state troopers sitting on the side chatting. Well, I figured at that speed why not go for broke. It was only 3 miles to my exit. ... So down went the pedal! The car pulled with force like an ox and the speed of a chetah. The needle was burried and they were just pulling on the road WAY back in my mirror.

So now that I have a nice lead I am feathering the pedal. Figuring only about a mile to go and the needle is buried. Coming up over a little hill guess who is sitting on the left side of the road Waiting. Well, now I had to stop. So I just pulled to the side and waited for him to get there. 4-cops later I found out that the second cop I passed told me I was at 142 and he asked if I was crazy. So I told him about the p&p blower and I was testing all the modz.

Next thing you know I'm showing them under my hood and chatting about how it holds the road like king kong to a building. So, in the end, it was a great ride and they would have never caught up if it weren't for that damn radio!

By the way: We were wrong for doing it, so I don't want to give the wrong impression here.

Let us know how much it cost to get your SC out of the impound and how long your license is suspended for. Thanks!

i was doing about 115-120 down the thruway about a month ago and on the other side of the thruway i seen a state trooper heading the other way.. he slammed on the brakes flipped on his lights but there were no places for him to make a uturn for at least 1000 ft or so. so i kept on going as my exit was about a mile down. it was quite busy that day and i guess it was too dangeroues to pursue me. i tell ya im definitely not doing that again

was your right foot shaking like it was having a seizure?

mine was, along with the rest of my body sensing jail time

hmmm.....

I sensed that jail time too. That's the reason we got the HELL out of dodge! I think back on the whole episode and I would rather face the jail time than some casket time.

Funny you should mention casket ::::::silver::::::

Scott, there was no ticket. They had to give me a warning though. After I showed them my wrench time. The first set I passed were pissed at first when they pulled up. But the cop that I stopped for was cool right from the beginning. They all had the cocky at first, but they got over it.

I wasn't all that nervous. Wasn't the first time 100+. No tickets yet. ::::knocking on wood or um, gas pedal::::

ps- it helps to have a shiny metal badge suction cupped to the winshield and a bright gold shield on the outside of your jacket. But please, don't try this at home!

Not that I had one~!, Just that it sure would be nice...

Hmmmmm....

I don't know whether to laugh or frown at you Silver Casket! You remind me of a much younger ME a year ago before I got scared. This is why I have a bumper sticker that says "NO FEAR" Because I don't drive fast anymore, so I don't have to live in FEAR of dying in a casket that is traveling 120 plus down the highway. You might think i'm a big wuss, and you are right. I am a big scared wuss now after I saw first hand what could happen. (a scared WUSS with NO FEAR of myself)

Keep on rolling man, but just be careful because some people don't get the blessing that you and I have recieved.
God bless and keep SC'n!

ya i know about the gas pedal food shakin and having a seizure. i just started driving lik 8 months ago and last month i gave a friend a ride in my TC to the store. he got out and complimented how its fast for a 4banger and im like "see ya later F(*&er" and i did alil burnout in reverse to get outta the parkin spot and then as i go around the cornor i floor it and do the sweetest "drift" ive ever had. well i knew he seen me and im like hell ya. i felt so cool but then i realized there was a car a block ahead of me coming towards me that looked like it could be a cop. and im liek.... oh crap dont be a cop, dont be a cop. he got close enough that i could see (i didnthave my glasses on) and it WAS A COP! i was so scared i turned the blinker on and immediately turned off the road and rushed to my house makinga bunch of turns so that i was sure he coudlnt follow me.

im now tryin to cut down on the "hot rodding"... a ticket is not worth it.

yea.. i got my first ticket in the SC..... goin down a quiet highway passed a MA state trooper doin 115....... unfortunatly... about a mile later the highway ended with a rotary.. so i had to slow down. he got me on the back side of the rotary =( but i guess he was nice.. he only said i was doin 90 in a 55 hehe =) $350 later i learned my lesson....... never speed without a radar dector! haha

I passed a radar trap doing 113 kph in a 60 zone. I was in the middle of passing a slower car so I downshifted into second to get around him as quickly as I could. The cop just had a big smile on his face when he pulled me over - congratulated me on being the fastest one that day and left me 345 bucks poorer


funny thing was, I was on ym way to my buddy's house to pick up his "97 trans am ram air. when I went back past the cops i was doing 60 bang on the nose and they were just itchin to pull that black beast over heh heh

I know where your coming from. When I met my wife, she lived 45 minutes from me, I would make it in 25. I had an 85 IROC (what a POS) with TPI (the first year) going home in OD @ 5500 RPM and spedo long past pegged. There were a few nights I saw flashers and didn't bother to slow down. I'm sure the cops figured they would just scrape my up later.
Now, with 2 kids, I take at little easier and my SC hasn't even seen three digits. I used to be proud that I had spun just about every car I had owned, now I happy I'm still here after all that stupidity.

The funny thing is the only speeding tickets I ever got were in my wife's old Hyudia Excel.
