Default almost lost my license...

camaro was runnin shitty, cause all the valves were loose since the last time i drag raced i missed a bunch of gears and overrevved it way too many times (shitty linkage)

so i adjusted the valves, took her for a spin, just down the street on a fairly long straight residential road. (25 mph)

so i go once down, running pretty ok, turn around in the road. come back get on the it whole way, at about 90mph and just getting into 3rd gear, a cop comes around the bend.

so i slowed down as hard as the worthless drum brakes could. to top it off the plates have 01 tags on them. rofl

he looked straight at the car, its nice having this kinda car, the cops look at the CAR, not the license plates, i don't know if he was planing on turning around or not. this is the 3rd time this has happend. so anyways i just turn down my street, hauled *** to the house, pulled into the garage, and shut the bitch. i don't think having 2 speeding tickets and going 90 in a 25 with expired tags would've looked good to a judge.

chalk another one up for me, this is the 5th time i've gotten away without a ticket, when it was obvious i was going way too fast.

well, ummm.... yeah.

90 in a 25 is sounds pretty crazy to me. If i saw someone in my town fly by my house doing 90, i would be pissed. what if i were pulling out, that wouldnt be too pretty. Oh well, ive done some dumb ---- too.

well i didn't really fly by, i did a little under a 1/4 run
just enough time to get into 3rd gear... and i slowed down as fast as i could.... i don't know how far it was exactly, probably a couple hundred yards...

nod its easy to get away if you just turn off, them make a couple more turns, and go home. but if you keep driving around they will radio other cops, to get you if they see you

i passed a cop at about 130 on the highway once in my old 5 speed maxima on the way home from college, he was stopped radaring, and i didnt see him until i was about 200 yards away, he was at the top of a hill, no traffic, early in the morning, so i wanted to see what it would do. i was doing about 125 when i saw the cop(in a 55mph zone) and when i saw him i downshifted to 4th, and floored it. we made eye contact and he just watched me go by at a ridiculous speed, he didnt even try to get me. i got off at the next exit and hid from whoever he surely radioed ahead to get me. it scared the ---- out of me, but its kinda cool to look back at it.

Cops aren't always the problem around here. It's these roads with potholes. There's a few places around here with fun roads to drive (curve's & hills). Once in my rex I was doing about 90mph around some hard corners (like I always had) and got up to a straight away. I was already in 5th and just pushed it down. Once I hit 120, I don't know if it was a pothole or a wind burst, but the car just jumped for a second (suspension off the ground), and I STOPPED fast, and had a nice slow drive home from there. It really scared me to death because there was a white minivan in the other lane that saw the whole thing. I went back to check on the road and didn't see anything... what could have caused this? I've had the car at high speeds before, and I've never felt that.

one time i was driving my chevelle down a hilly road. there are three woopties in a row. i was only going about 80 but i had it floored in 2nd. (3 speed TH400) that big block 396 tourqes the car up and over really bad, and the front wheels came off the ground, i could feel the emptyness in the steering wheel. scared me pretty good.
