1 BLOWN V8

iTrader: (17)

Hey all:

First: I rarely ever, ever race on the street.

Well some of you may have heard but I got caught street racing on Saturday night. We had our IE meet and went on a cruz to the bowling alley. I was looking to have some fun with Reid since I was by myself. So I opened both Bottles, Turned on the Heaters and had the Switch all ready for some fun.

Ok this is what happened: There was 8 of us and I was towards the back. I was behind a truck and he finally turned and i was a little ways back and saw everyone taking off from the light. So I decide to hit it and also had the little switch on . My car fish tailed back and forth for a few seconds then hooked and was gaining ground quick. Well they all started to slow down and so did I.

Within seconds I see a car come up quick and get on my ***. Saw the shotgun in my rear view mirrior and new I am getting pulled over. Sure enough he lights me up. Comes up to the window and tells me he saw me street racing and getting sideways. Asked for all the paper work. Came back a few minutes later and told me he could take my car for 30 days and arrest me right now. Went back to his car and pulled out the ticket book.

This is what I got:

YES YOU ARE READING IT RIGHT ( A CORRECTABLE BRAKE LIGHT OUT ) ( THATS IT )

After he gave me the ticket he then told me he loved my Vette and he would hate to see me wreak it for doing something dumb.

First time I ever got lucky like that. But then again I dont play much like I use to years ago.

We all know your meeting up with him on his day off to let him do a few 0-150 runs in your vette!

As I have said before cops like vettes. I have zero tickets in any of my vettes in the last 8 years of owning them.

Anytime I drive an import I end up with a ticket.
Lexus= Ticket
Maxima = Ticket

But I have either been let off with a warning in my vette or get a thumb up

Yeah man you got lucky. My vette is slammed and has heads and cam and the only ticket Ive gotten in it was for going over a double yellow. Most cops dont even look over, dont know why.

Man.. I can't stand ******* cops.. Complete pigs... All you were doing is having a little fun and he had to pull the "authority" bull **** card..
Whatever..









Glad to see you got off clean.. I actually got pulled over about 2 weeks ago cause an old guy wanted to see what my car had (told me at the light it sounded good but couldn't back it up).. Kicked it till about 60 (45 zone) and fishtailed the entire way... Cop was sitting a few cars back at the light and I didn't see him..
Luckily he lives down the road AND I went to school with him along with being real good friends with his best friend..
Told me to quit being a dumbass and get home for the night..

Ken,

I heard it cost you a complete set of Firestone tires to get out of that ticket! LOL

Glad to see you got out of that with a slap on the pee pee, could of been alot worse. Sorry we didn't make it to the bowling alley. The boy got nervous, he almost pulled over with you and I think Ryan had to go home and change his shorts....

i hope this is a joke... you're mad at cops for doing their job? LOL.

I agree, Sound likes a pretty cool cop for letting Ken off with a fixit.

iTrader: (16)

I third that. Some cops are cool a buddy of mine is Riverside County Sheriff and he is cool as hell and has a 500rwhp C5! Another friend is LAPD! Just like everything there are some cool people out there and Ken got lucky with a good one that appreciated a bunch of pumped up muscle cars having a little fun and let him off easy!

Go buy a LOTTO ticket now. I bet if you were not in the Vette he would have thrown the book at you.

I agree, in the camaro and on the R6 i never got a ticket. Its Bright orange and loud as hell, just get the old, "you need to slow down and drive safe."

But when i had a Talon TSi AWD (bought it to make it a track car) and i got pulled over merging onto the freeway still doing under the speed limit and also go sited for following too closely because when the people saw the flashing lights they slowed down and we all bunched up. Got a ticket for 10 over and following too closely. Part of the reason i sold it shortly after.


The V is great too cuz it never gets looked at twice. Ive braked HARD through a couple of speed traps when i would have SWORN i was going to get pulled over.

I gotta say, now that I think about it... EVERYTIME i've been pulled over in the TA I've gotten a ticket...

I've got a couple of cop friends... but I still hate cops. My cop friends I like as people and think they are totally cool. But the regular traffic cops I think are lower than low... there is a difference between law enforcement and traffic cops... they need to get a real job.
