It's a miracle...
So I've only had my RED 05 S2000 for three days. I live in a rural type neighborhood with about 1 house per five acres. There is a great curve right in front of my house and most of people take it pretty easy but I've watched a lot of Michael Schumacher wantabees play F1 driver. So... I finally have a rear wheel drive car and it really handles well and I decided that just this once I'm going to go right on past my house and enjoy that beautiful corner myself. Why not? It's my turn isn't it?
I set it up so that as I approached the corner I would be doing about 6500 revs in 2nd gear . I'm not a great driver but this car makes me look good. I got some speed going into the corner and on the exit I even got a little drift from the rear tires. About one block later there is another good corner so I decided to keep it wound up. I was already halfway through the corner before I saw the two county sheriff cars down a side road. They were out of their cars, standing there talking to each other. I knew it would take them a few seconds to get into their cars and get rolling... I almost decided to make a run for it but decided not to. Yup... chicken.
The sheriff asked me what was that? (Umm irrational exuberance?) So there is no emergency? (No sir... I just picked up this car and I've always wanted to take that turn...) Believe it or not he let me off with a warning.
