"I've never seen anything move so fast. You do know he got away from us twice, broke line of sight and everything, the only reason we caught him is because he didn't know how to drive?"

The bottom line here is that Orlando is a mexiCAN'T claiming to be a Puerto Rican. He was told not to ---- around with the boys he picked that 30 lbs of weed up from, he knew he'd been tailled a couple times that week already, so when they get behind him and try to pull him over in a ------- Durango he almost wads the car into a Camry before getting away. Orlando calls about everyone under the sun to tell them what just happened. Multiple people told him to throw the 30 lbs into a ditch and get the car off the road, they would pick him up, but NOOOOOOOO the stupid mexiCAN'T drives across town and sells part of the 30 to somebody and then takes off down the road to sell the rest. This time there are a bunch of APD, county, Troopers, and MEG out after his *** and he still would have gotten away from them as well if he weren't so ------- incompetent.

I've flayed the SS Trooper cars alive in the exact same car with 2/3rds the power Orlando's had while he owned it. Ask Caveman, he was only passenger three of the five times I ran from the cops and he will testify that all it takes at the 1800 lb/225 whp level is to crest a hill or go around a curve and the nice officer never sees you again. My biggest secret is that I don't turn down dead ends, especially ones leading to the Billy Graham training center that has armed guards with machine guns and a barricade.
LOL yea he's a dumbass, I never really heard the whole story till now well ive heard like 100 differnt virsion. But yea i know you can get away ive been with caveman serval time's that he has ran and every time we got away. Me myself i don't run cause as you know they would have know problem catching me

There was a lambo that was running drugs/money down I-26 or I-95 a couple years ago that did the same thing. he only got caught because he kept the same time table. the cop wondered why his radar kept going off at the same time, laid a spike strip out, caught him

EDIT: after trying to find an article about it, I realized it's just a urban legend and I'm a dumb ---- :1

Haha I was just joking and I thought I would get seriously flamed for my comment. The best thing I think would be the brake toggle. It could be installed on a stock vehicle and no one would ever know. Of course using the ebrake would work as well.

i drive a Honda
no front plate (on the wall in the garage)
i speed on every street
my car has been called loud... even by a cop...
i have been rollin with YELLOW (not 'kinda', just ------ yellow) headlights... took them out a month ago though
my GTI NEVER had an exhaust, working front blinkers, front plate...plus ---- above, and had a tendency to lay rubber on public streets

i have NO radar detector or any stupid *** ---- like that....just common sense...or maybe just plain dumb luck...

Dustin's driving record for past 5 years:
no front plate (GTI)


thats it... not saying that i dont get pulled over. i have been pulled over for no front plate a hand full of times (before and after ticket), "modified exhaust" <~its stock dead serious, yellow/"illegal" headlights 2-3 times, and a supposed illegal lane change (i guess using your blinker is not the right way to change lanes like they said in drivers ed, your just suppose to move over whenever you feel like it like everyone in seattle).... oh and that time going to jeffs party and them saying i was doing burnouts in the street when i had just gotten there... but i would have if i had gotten there earlier of course

I just had a week long class on getting certified in using radar. Radar detectors really aren't that effective. With the Lidar that is out not, it's about impossible to use a radar detector, considering that it doesn't transmit anything until you pull the trigger and when you do that your locked onto you target. The K band and KA band radar has such a range and it's pretty wide that when you hit the antenna and the detector goes off, that means you've already been hit and the speed is recorded into the counting unit. All in all detectors are not worth it, common sense is, there are places to speed and places not to.

It varies around depending on location, but something like 15" is the minimum height allowed for your headlights. Whether bottom or centerline of, or applicable to your location, I haven't a freaking clue.
