Re: A tale of Speed, reckless driving, and no mention of bubba's
Had a similiar experience a few years back. At the time I had a '99 Eclipse GST that I had built the crap out of. Nearly 500hp in a 4-cyl is not to bad. Some friends of mine and I had been to the local Street Fights at Bristol Dragway and were back in town talking about our runs. It was about 4 0'clock in the morning, so I headed home, all hyped up from talking about racing. Shot through town and passed a cop running 150mph in a 45 zone. Immediatly when I passed, I had that "Oh sh*t" and just pulled to the side of the road. The cop pulled up, never turned his lights on and walked up and started checking out my car. He motioned for me out of the car and started asking me questions about it. The first thing he did ask though was, "Why did you pull over? I never would have caught you." My only response was "That thought had crossed my mind." Must have liked that because he just told me to watch myself because you never know when someone will pull out in front of you and told me to drive the speed limit going home. I followed that order, but mostly because he followed me the 6 miles home to see if I was going to speed.
How I didn't go to jail that night, I will never know.
