Default Almost went to jail this past weekend..

My internet has been out so i couldn't type this up, but damn.

This summer i finally got around to rewiring the whole nitrous kit. I had it out over the weekend on gas for the first time with a pretty good shot in there

Anyways, i was on a really long bridge (40mph limit) and went from a 1st gear roll, sprayed 2-4 and pegged the speedo. That **** was insanely fast. So after i pegged it, i coasted back down in 4th and i see an HPD up ahead with his lights already on parked at an angle, pretty much waiting for me.

I told my girlfriend we were going to jail and she started freaking out haha.

So he pulls me over, comes up to my window and starts screaming at me about the speed limit on the bridge. He was yelling at me for having NAWZ and SLICKS and all this ****, telling me i was going to get tickets for all this crap. He then screamed at me how he clocked me doing 65mph in a 40 (is that it?).

Went to his car, came back, wrote me a ticket for only 50 in a 40 so i could take DD. Then he started asking me questions about the car, asking me how fast i was going before he clocked me and all this stuff. Really badass expirience.

His name was Officer Ferrell, HPD in kingwood, TX

and i got ******* lucky.

Haha, damn Danny you're one lucky guy.

Reminds me of after I had the 12 bolt, gears, and suspension installed, at this time my exhaust was dumped right after the bullets instead of run over the axle so its pretty damn loud. So i'm taking Doyle and Ivan for a test ride on the feeder of I-10, so I pull out from Mason and go wot 1-4 and then let off. Ivan who was sitting shotgun turns to me and says "you know there was a sheriff and another cop standing in that parking lot back there off the feeder staring right at me as you were hitting it" I said damnit, put her back in gear pulled a u-turn and got home very quickly.
