Karma for a racer

Justice for idiots.

They can take your car for street racing, its like handing the police department a 30-40K check because you floored it while getting groceries.

Very similar thing happened to me as well! I was headed south on I-25 toward Denver and a guy in a lifted 4x4 goes ripping by me like I'm standing still. I'm going a little over 75 in a 75, he HAD to be going at least 100. And just when I'm about to start a rant to my wife along the lines of 'why do these d-bags never get pulled over', I see action in the median. An un-marked cruiser brakes hard out of the north bound passing lane, crosses over, waits for a pocket in the traffic, and goes roaring by us, lights blazing! The truck heads for the first exit it sees, but the trooper's too smart for that, makes the off ramp and as I go under the overpass I see the truck completely pulled over. Genius was doing 25+ over on MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND, which has got to be the most patrolled weekend in the year. What possesses someone to do that, exactly? Is it really worth the risk to arrive somewhere 10 minutes before someone going about 5 over would????

Actually, they'll put your nice $30K+ car in a gigantic vice that moves horizontally and vertically from all sides. Then your 3,300 lb. sports car looks like a 5'x5' metal square....and you will be crying a river. Hey, at least your 370's hood, doors and hatch are put to good use--aluminum soda cans.

That's why I don't street race PERIOD.

Yeah, that's what the cop tells you before they give their girlfriend a new 370Z

You can easily out run a cop on any modern 600 CC and up sportbike. You can do it twice. The third time you get caught, hire a good lawyer, get away with a measly speeding ticket, turn 23, start to grow up, and say "Man was I being an *******..." It's also much easier in a city say like, Miami, rather than upstate NY where your get away options are much more limited.

But don't try it. Unless you're an *******.
