If you are taking about the bentley jokes, They are not getting into it again... Because they never stopped the first time

I think it is funny that people still joke about it.

Don't be ashamed, if it was a newer V8 stang, he has over 200 more HP than you do.

Don't be upset, a GT mustang has 200 more HP than you do, no way you beat that car in a straight line race.

LOL....hell I will mix it up with anyone... I just call it like I see it. IF you own a sporty car no matter what make it is, and you come on here and say, well I would never race my car....or I would never speed, then.... well, we won't go there....lol. I have followed behind people running 55 in a 55, who enter the city limits and do 45 in a 30. Is that worse than 65 in a 55? But..., I haven't been back on the road enforcing traffic laws now for the past 8 yrs. But I still hang out with the guys that do, and ride along once in awhile. Traffic enforcement really was a fun job. All kinds of stories, but all of us had a sense of humor in those days, but there is a new breed of officer out there. Kids just don't grow up car guys like they use too. Probably because the muscle car days are long gone. Exotics are out of reach of their pay grade. So, you just never know. My big thing with these young officers today is to remind them people are human and they make mistakes. It's the degree of mistake they make. Driving dangerous is one thing, running 80 on an open road along with other passenger cars is another. So you use discretion when dealing with speeders. Anyway, we all play one way or another, but going to a local track on a test and tune night, so you don't have race in a particular class is a great release for wanting to see what your car will do. Whomever you line up with is who you race. There is also grudge racing. You can challenge the Mustangs, Camaros, Chargers, Challengers, and the likes. I don't condone street racing, but I don't believe most people who say they haven't done it...either. I have sinned in this category as well.... Just be safe...

I was on a 75 mph highway. So doing 80 is too fast but not that bad. And doc... The young cops of today are an entirely different breed. Most don't respect their superior and make dumb mistakes on the job. They also don't respect other officers and have no idea what professional courtesy means. I hate to say more so I will keep my mouth shut so I don't offend anyone here.

I always ask my wife if she wants to come along on drives and she doesn't (which may be a good thing). I told her how fast I was going on the drag strip last week and received a few choice words.
