I almost sh!t my pants just right now
 

So I'm heading home from hanging out with my buddy and I'm on an empty highway. I live kinda far from the main city, so it's a good 10 miles and the speed limit is 55. I'm cruising at about 80 or so, and after I pass a couple cars and no longer see them I decide to try out my 370Z's 4th gear acceleration. I floor it and enjoy the feeling of being pressed in my seat and don't notice that I'm already going 110. In my rearview mirror I see headlights, they look like a truck because they're too high for a car. The headlights are getting closer... I figure wow, this guy is really in a hurry somewhere... So I slow back down to 80 and change lanes to let the guy pass me. As the truck passes me see that it's a cop. He blows by me at about 120 or so. My first reaction is OMFG - the cop just passed me while I was going 25 over! He also most likely witnessed me doubling the speed limit as well!

At this point my exit is coming up and I see the cop is getting off on it. I had the urge to just keep going, pass my exit and come back but I was feeling tired and wanted to get home so I followed the cop. At the end of the off-ramp the cop stops and turns his lights on. I begin mentally cussing myself out for not listening to my inner voice. I pull up behind the cop and watch him get out and approach my car. I ask him how he's doing and in response he says, I'm on a domestic violence call, what's your excuse? I reply that I'm going home. He then asks me, would you please slow down? I assure him that I will, thank him, wish him a good night and he leaves to get back to his duty.

I have to say that was probably the best experience I've ever had with a cop and I wish you all the same should you ever get caught for doing something stupid.

dang what a close calll haha.... nice cop

your one lucky dude. i also tried my 4th and opened it up to 7500 rpm. i think i was about 110 to 120 but didn't look at the speedo...

You remind me about all the times the cops stopped me during a little "test driving" on two or four wheels....
Sometimes you meet the right guys, sometimes not. But when you meet the right cop your faith in the law reaches a higher level. You really think they're working FOR you, not AGAINST you.

close call. glad you made it out without the ticket.

That would of been an expensive one, cha ching...

I don't know about the rest of you but I assumed this post was gonna involve the use a toilet.

:icon18: Me too.

I immediately connected it with the other new thread on 'internal gripes' (which I haven't read yet). I was starting to think that I'd made a 'boo-boo' and 'logged' on to some other 'dump' by mistake.

Oh well - I suppose that cop gets a few 'brownie' points.

Your one lucky dude...
Slow down or be prepared to pay the price!
Literally homie.

i would have passed the exit...lol


I remember once a cop pulled behind me and followed for a bit then i decided to do a few right turns and i followed him.....lol....i think this really pisses them off....ha

Don't follow cops for too long, they don't like it. I followed an unmarked car on a rural interstate once for about 30 miles, and he eventually pulled me over. He was pissed! I was keeping my distance but I was matching his speed exactly.

LOL!
I was on the Garden State Parkway on the left lane and I didn't even notice but there was a State Trooper behind me. I thought he would just pass me so I just kept on going. A few moments later he pulled me over saying that I blocked his way from a speeding car. He said he was gonna write me up for a ticket and give me 2 points but didn't. :tup:
I still don't get why he couldn't have just gone on the other lane...

Interesting story, nice cop for sure too. I wish they would request me to "please, slow down".

:bowrofl: yeah they dont like it when you do that.

dayummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm you got lucky lol im glad that you didnt get a ticket tho ;)
