[QUOTE=goldenfri,Apr 24 2006, 11:01 AM] The ride home was muuuuuch longer it also didn't help that I blew one of my silencers out of the exhaust because I forgot to tighten it. I swear I was dreaming of the drone last night

Exhaust/front plate- first time while running the Invidia for 3 years/haven't run a plate for the same amount of time.

He got on my tail at 60-65 mph(about 4k rpm) going up hill. If I had known what he was doing, I would have downshifted to 5th.

On another note, he didn't write me a ticket for no registration in vehicle, no state inspection sticker. He didn't look under the car to see if I had a cat in place. Same friggin' county as the WTD '04 93/65 ticket.

I'm in his car and I happen to look and see that the exit is #17. So I ask, "Isn't the courthouse off this exit?" He states that it is and follows with, "Why? Have you been there before?" "Yes... yes, I have- 2 years ago, and that is why I don't speed anymore."

We're finishing up, but haven't signed anything yet. He notices, "You have a camera mount. Is that for your racing?" I tell him it is for track events and group drives, scared that he might want to view the tape currently in the camera. I was pretty sure he couldn't pull it because I wasn't nabbed for a moving violation, but it didn't worry me any less as that particular tape could have pegged a few folks.

So the Spa was trying to drift........why was anyone trying to drift out there
After the accident, he said something like

"he told me not to try and keep up with him - no one says that to me"

or something to that effect.

Good thing you didn't get pulled over - you would've run from the cops too, right? Seems to be the cool thing to do nowadays.

Just a question...would they really be able to nab any of the people in the tapes?? I mean technically its not in their jurisdiction...they can't prove it is in their jurisdiction and we can't prove it isn't so would they be able to argue? And furthermore, what if the cars in the video don't even have local plates...so with those two facts, would they still be able to get you or other people in trouble?

Not starting an argument against rules and laws by picking on technicalities... I'm honestly just wondering...

Even though any tickets suck, I'm glad to hear it was those kind of tickets
