Default Close One!

At lunch yesterday, I had a co-worker with me in the "S" with the top down on I-695 (Baltimore Beltway).

Traffic was a bit heavy, but there was a sizable opening in the fast lane so, showing off (as we stookers like to do), I dropped her into 3rd and gunned it into the passing lane, got to 80ish real quick, looked in my rear view and a state boy was about 5 car lengths back & gaining

Avoiding brake lights, I stayed in 4th gear and moved back over into the middle lane.

He pulled up next to me and on his P.A. speaker announced "I JUST MISSED YOU" meaning I saw him before he could clock me or get me with his radar gun

He continued past me, so not having a front plate, I immediately got over to the far right and off the conveniently positioned exit ramp. You know, those guys will get you for something like that, if they missed you for something else.

My clean driving record is yet preserved (even after owning an S2000 for over a year)!
