Default I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by running from the cops (M3+RX7)

at the local spot, and nothing intresting so a couple bmws go for a few runs, one is supercharged but nothing to impressive. Apperently one of them was mad that he lost so he went home and got his RX7 for a rematch....and i wanted in. SO now im runnin a pretty stock M3, and then a "modded" RX7 that im a little worried about, from a roll. So were lining them up, im ready to lose and the honking starts...3rd honk happens and....i leave them all, very easly, and putting lengths on the RX7. then i see the lights of a cop go on behind the RX7 and im already far ahead and keep it that way as the RX Gets pulled over. I just switched onto 3 highways and im gone, no points for me.

all happened at like 1AM or so. My cobra has intake, exhaust and pulley, and 2 wins under its belt in one shot lol.

One time I ran from a cop but he was in an SUV and he was outside the car when I flew by. By the time he got back into his Tahoe I had made my mind up I wasn't about to stop

Gets your adrenaline going, that is for sure.

Good kills....on the racers and the cop. I too have had to make a run for it a couple times at local street races. I figure they will catch a few guys but it will be the guys that get blocked off or just have slower cars.

I have never ran from a cop, but just remember if they get your tag it's pointless to run. On the other hand, it's the same as running from a bear, you don't have to outrun the bear, you just have to outrun your friends.

Good thing you didn't caught. Drag racing, and felony fleeing and eluding. Not too good of a thing to be looking at if you enjoy your freedom.

Very very true, it's always tough making decisions when running... I'm afraid of pushing the limits of my driving around turns on one hand, but my adrenaline is pumping so hard that I just say **** it and stay on the throttle. It's a scary time, but when it's over with it was all fun right?
The last time I ran I was on a crotch rocket without a license at 3 in the morning, I plan on making that my last one.

4.6 crown vics are dogs
the only cop car i seen worth the consideration of pulling over was on 02 i drove down to south carolina. on i-95 i seen an ls1 camaro state trooper. besides that, the last time i got a ticket was the last time i pulled over.

and yes, i know, one day i'll probaly get caught.
