I decided to make a quick trip to get some KFC and on the way back I noticed some very bright lights following me. I couldn't tell exactly what kind of car it was until I made the right turn onto Yorktown, the street near my house, when the car came up next to me. It turned out to be a yellow Corvette. He had been totally on my ass for a few blocks now and I was getting a little annoyed.

So there we are going about 50 MPH and he's on the right of me. He downshifts, so I decide to also. Stupid move As soon as I slide it into second and drop the clutch I look to my right and there he is, the devil himself, a cop car was sitting on a little street facing the main street. I clutch it instinctively so the noise goes down but too late. We both brake for the red light and the cop pulls out and is behind me! I'm thinking, "Aww crap, there goes my car and my license" I didn't even initiate the race and we didn't even go faster than 60. What a shitty day I thought.

The cop pulls us both over and calls for backup. He gets my license and registration down and does the same for the Corvette guy's. He asks me if we knew each other and I said nope. I blamed the Corvette guy for initiating and I told the cop that he was tailing me so it made me aggrivated. I said I sped up and he just went around me, I had no intention to race the guy. The cop looks unimpressed. I'm thinking, "well I gave it a shot, time to kiss my car goodbye."

The cop goes up to talk to the dude in the Corvette and meanwhile, his partner walks up to me and asks, "What kind of car is this and what year is it"

"A Honda and it's a 2000 model," I replied. The he says, "oh a honda? I didn't know that honda's made cars like this." He shines his flashlight on the s2000 emblem on the side and say, "so it's an s2000, huh? Nice lookin car" "I heard you were doin pretty good against the corvette" I was totally speechless. Then he goes on and asks me how fast it is. All the while I'm trying to make the situation seems as insignificant as possible so I reply with a "no officer it isn't fast at all, you see it's only a 2 liter"

Then something amazing happens. The other cop comes back and starts lecturing me about how I could have killed a granny who could potentially pull out in front of me or whatever. I knew then that I was saved! No ticket. just a warning and A sincere apology from me to the cop.

Moral of the story: don't spontaneously go and buy KFC, then race a Corvette on the way home.

 

hahhahah close call!

at least they let you off! cool guys!


wait wtf.....what am i sayin? some one slap me!




F DA POLICE!

 

I remember the last time I was going a wee too fast and a cop pulled out behind me. My old LT1 still had a hair left in her! No ticket for me either


I play by the rules. If their lights arent on. I am not stopping. He never got close enough to turn em' on.

 

I am definitely gonna remember that.

I absolutely cracked up when I read that. Great story, better moral!

 

Damn those KFC runs!

Chik' Fil A is where it's at!!!




that's great news though!

 

The nighttime cops in HB are the best. One of them may have been my buddy that doesn't write tickets. Be cool and don't race in town.

 

Where's that 5-0 Mustang you mentioned?

 

I think he meant "THE" 5-0


Glad to hear you were able to get out of it.
Be careful out there

 

very nice

 

Wow totally lucky break they let you off, very cool cops. If you were in Tampa, Fl. and got caught street racing, they would have jumped on your ass like you were Al Queda.
