Anyone scared to launch on the street?

Other than the one above... speeding like crazy (120+) on the highway at around 3 pm and slowed down due to traffic, 1 minute later I hear sirens and a undercover cop pulls next to me and tells me to roll down the window, he then proceeds to tell me that he has been chasing me for 3 miles where I passed him ridiculously fast (I didnt even see him) he then tells me that the next time I do something like that he will impound my car, arrest me, and take my drivers license away for 6 months, he then says "Drive safe" and takes off... I was shocked and amazed... and then very thankful... Needless to say I drove the speed limit for the next week constantly waiting for this guy to show up from somewhere

P.S. I had a bad day that day and I let my emotions get reflected into my driving... Not a good thing.

Also... got pulled over by a beautiful blond lady cop for doing a 60 foot burnout (1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear in the 350z). She walks next to my car, smiles and asks me whatsup. I told her I just got this car and wasn't used to driving stick yet and apologized. She said "Suuuuure. Get outta here." got in her car and drove away and all I kept thinking was "WHY DIDNT I ASK HER IF SHE WANTED TO GO GET SOME COFFEE!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Also have been told numerous times to leave this parking lot for Forest Preserve and I got so pissed off one time that I drove about a mile by going 5 miles and hour and not letting the cop who was escorting me out pass me for about 10 minutes. He seemed to be very happy when I took off like crazy at the intersection to the main street and most likely radioed another car to get me but I was long gone by then.

I can think of more but I'm gonna stop writing now since my hand is begining to hurt... (Just typed a 10 page essay on Federal Government spending for Economics...)

Leave the speed for the track and get off the road.

No tickets here I rarely hit redline... Infact I think I've actually only hit it once in my life, and that ended up in a grind 1-2 shift so I guess that makes me afraid to try redline again... VTEC is already alot for me

i haven't gone in anyones garage but i did pull into some driveway and pretended like it was my house. I got out of the car, went to the trunk, the cop kept waiting for me. Then i just walked into their backyard and he left. I kinda knew the people so it would of been okay if they came out.

About running from the cops.......... If you are doing above 120 and he is standing there shooting radar and you are on an open highway with no cars then gun it, and take the 2nd exit. Then hide. Other than that it is better to stop and tell the truth and kiss his ass.
