We do a lot of crazy things.
Plus we have cops that enjoy the chase, like have modified Dodge Chargers.

There is a cop at my local highschool here in Nacogdoches that drives a modified Charger... Now I ask, why does a school needed a modified Charger for his cop car?!?

And the worst ticket I have ever gotten was an 80 in a 55.

However, I did get pulled over by a state-trooper going about 110 in a 70 on my home from UT Austin. I figured I was about to get arrested. When he asked if I knew how fast I was traveling, I gave a very determined, "Yes sir, I know exactly how fast I was driving." When he asked why I was traveling so fast, I told him the truth... I was going to be late for church. He let me off with a warning and I still made church on time.

I shot a man in Reno / Just to watch him die ...


The Z (any color) probably guarantees that if you get pulled over you WILL get a ticket of some sort. So I've driven this car the slowest of our last half-dozen cars, and so far ... knock wood ...

Let me amend that. We always drive with radar detectors. Always. And within 50 miles of our home we know the roads pretty well. So we only speed up in places we know they can't possibly be hiding. Then we just have to look out for unmarked Crown Vics (either white or black).

Err ... let me amend that again. The first blip you get on a radar detector, unless you're getting a false alarm from a mall or a road construction sign, you put the brakes down NOW. I'm pretty sure I've been in the "kill zone" a few times, but because of aggressive braking, they haven't had a radar result they can use.

Oh yeah... 50% of the battle is using your eyes. I do the same exact thing u do on the road.

I moved here to TX from NY 3 years ago. One thing about the east coast is cops pull over anything, everyday, all day, in every way. And if u have a sports car? You are double screwed. It doesn't matter if its an old sports car or new. Bright dull or crashed. And if u r the wrong skin color? They throw in a BONUS illegal search. Lol and they say racism is a southern problem. Lol. I think its 3x worse up north.
