That's a great way to turn a slap on the wrist into an arse raping.

No matter how quick you are you can't outrun radio.

I think that if you know thr roads good enough and you did not screw up at all you could get away. This is also assuming that the police are not hawking you down in helicopters.

Unless you are hauling drugs or have a body in the trunk, why the hell would you even attempt something this stupid? As somebody else pointed out, its a good way to turn a slap on the wrist into a major problem.

You need to add another option to your poll: "I'm mature enough not to attempt something this frigging stupid"

God forbid you kill somebody innocent in your attempt to flee.
Anybody that runs from the cops deserves the total ass-beating they get when the cops drag them out of the car. If its caught on tape, I'll buy a copy to watch

Even if you can outrun a Ford, you can't outrun a police radio or the fact that they may have gotten your plate.

Gee, when they start pulling over ALL the S2000s they see in an area, I think they will find you pretty quickly.

Mabey (and I empasize) MABEY in something more common like a camero or rustang, but the S sticks out too much like a sore thumb. Get a radar detector.

Also, as mentioned above, once they have your plates, the cops will back off, and head to your house. You have to go back there eventually.

(I have heard of people getting plates like WMMWMMW or 1I1I1II1I to avoid this, but I doubt it would work well.)

The time that I ran, I turned off my lights at night and sped up to 130 MPH and got off the first exit and hit some corners. It was fun. But I would never do it again. I was in a bad mood.
