Karma for a racer

earwicker7 · 07-08-2009, 07:37 PM

I accidentally led a cop across one of those plains states (I can't remember exactly which one, as it was 21 years ago). I had just bought a 1971 911 and was driving it from boarding school in Colorado Springs to Indiana. I was cruising at around 100 MPH on a stretch of highway in the middle of nowhere (REALLY in the middle of nowhere... there were no houses for miles on end). I saw some police lights in my side mirror, so I pulled over. He was acting like I was a fugitive, and I soon figured out why. He said he had been following me for almost 15 miles. It was only then that I realized (remember, I'd only had this car for a few hours) the car had no rearview mirror; apparently, it had fallen off and the previous owner had not replaced it. Combine this with the fact that I had the stereo cranked, and I had no idea that I was being chased by a cop for around 10 minutes. Thankfully, the cop cooled down once he realized that I didn't mean to lead him on a highspeed chase and only issued me a ticket.

I never paid it, so there is some plains state where I probably have a "record."

Here in Cali, the CHP used to ride around in Camaros with low profile lights so you'd think nothing of them till they pulled you over.

haha this reminds me of a funny story last year.
While I was driving my ex-gf home we hit this really really long red light.
I was driving in my Track Car (ITR), then a Teen(aslo a Novice driver) in a 997 Turbo stops on the lane next to me.
Gave me a look and began to rev his Porsche...
I was thinking "wow! you gotta be kiddin me kid... a Porsche picking on a Acura.." lol
anyways! he kept revving his 997 and I was trying to fool him to launch by returning him a few revs.
as the Traffic light hits green the 997 suddenly became quite...
then I realized that the kid stalled on his lil Porsche~! hahahaha!
approaching the next intersection the light turned yellow,
so i slowed down being curious to see how his face looks like.
he slowly approaches and stops at my quarter panel. lol
being a ******* I started revving my ITR. the Porsche was silenced..
hahaha this is the funniest experience i had on the streets.
