we were out cruising around in several cars and found out some guys in a Jeep Cherokee were following us (bored probably). So we went into gas stations and drove around (a long time, too) cuz we weren't sure if they had guns or anything of that sort. We were cruising anyway, so we decided to just ignore them and keep on going. We stopped at one more gas station...decided not to mess with them but change our plans a little. So one by one we drove out from the gas station. i was the last one..the jeep turned on it's headlights and headed our way. i was hoping he'd follow me as i split and went off into this curvy road. But nope...he went after the pack so i turned back and followed him. He then realized that i came back on his rear end after seeing two bright HIDs flying out of no where. He slowed down (all my friends in front fled) to about 10 MPH then sped up to try to loose me but i stuck to him like glue. While my friend sitting shot gun called a cop. So we followed them and got their liscence numbers and everything....this dude started driving around shopping centers and over speedbumps ( wow quite an obstacle right there!) Later on we re-grouped but this time they were in front...so some of us followed them for minutes and after countless tries to get away, they started driving normally...as i backed off thinking they got the point. The cop told me to meet him in this gas station. (while the other cars split out into different areas) my car was the only one there...later on my friends chased this jeep out from macdonals and he flew by and looked at me as he was driving.....the cop turned in that second...and i said "that's the car" ...so cop came chasin after him but he was too late. I met up with the cop down the road....we started talking and we got the liscence plate down. But this was the coolest cop ive ever met. He started talking about how an S2000 would dust a cop car if they tried....even offered me to race him. ...i wish i did race him though...i think he was part kidding part serious. So all was cool...we talked for about 15-20 minutes about racing and stuff. Cool guy. Then when he left....he did this wild burn-out. My friend and i were like.... ahhahahaha....kick ass! we need more cops like him!

i guess just the cops that stop me are the mean ones.

i don't think i've ever been followed, but i probably never noticed, since i can't see through my rear plastic window.

Haha ..... Two belly-laugh-inducing posts in a row!! What a night

I get aggressively followed for short stints on the freeway by hopped up Civics and Accords and Lexus IS's and BMW 850's and etc. And that was just today!

This is obviously a BS story.... I have been reading this board long enough to know that ALL cops are racist, Honda S2000 hating bigots!!!!!

Yeah the cop was cussing between mostly every sentences! My friend told him if he wants to race us, then let us gun it in front of him so it'd look like he's chasing us down! hahaha...i still can't get over that. (but that would be real funny if he decided to pull me over as a trap!!)

The Jeep though was trying to loose me and an MR2 spyder at the end! LMAO...its like chasing a grandma. Give me a break. ya think if they decide to follow or get themselves in messes like that they would come equiped with a faster/better handling car.

I was followed once, didn't really notice till I pulled in my driveway. Its a fair way up a hill. Instead of pulling to the spot I usualy do, I went right infront of my door. I got out and looked back. This guy gets out, and he is HUGE!!! so I'm thinking I'm not going to get the better of him. He walks toward me and says.."I'm gonna F'ing kill you!" Needless to say, I ran in to the house, grabbed a rifle, and came back out. By this time, He started pulling out of the drive way. My Dad was home, but I didn't know it, so I told him what had happened.
My dad gets this vigilante rage going, and we hop in the car to go look for him. Just as well we didn't find him, there is no doubt my dad would have beaten him to death.

I think I posted this story before, One of the things that bugged me the most about the whole incident, and BTW, I have no idea what his problem was, is that I ran into the house. Even if he didn't have a weapon, he would have kicked my ass, but it bothered me for days that I ran. I guess I'm not a big man, unless I got a gun in hand.

Non the less, it was an exciting night.

As an aside, I did stop at the police station, gave them a description of the car, but no licence plate, and thier response was.."not much we can do about it" ah well

Wow man, that's some crazy stuff. You know, I dont know about other states but here in NC there's no law against them following anybody. Sometimes justice sucks and we need to duke it out on our own. I hope i wont have to deal with them crazy people.
