Default Shout out to Westerly, RI cops....

Around 2:30 am last night, i was riding back from the beach(misquamicut) my girl wanted to see the ocean after we left the casino and i said wtf i like the drive. Anyway's theres a striaghtaway for miles, 2 lanes separated by a jersy barrier and i let the z rip. "the man" was waiting down the road with all his lights off shooting his radar right at me. I passsed him easily doubling the speed limit, and i just started pulling over as he pulled on the road, i was like, thats it, cars getting towed right? He throws his lights on and does his usual: lis. reg. ins. He comes back to my car with my info and says if he had written me a ticket for the speed i was going the car would be towed, reckless driving, etc... Instead he gave me a ticket,$85.00 for going 55 in a 50. As he walks away he says, "nice car."

To top this off i was out of state, w/slp lm, no front plates.

+1 for american muscle!!!

Damn, that is a lucky break!

Off topic, I notice your from Manchester CT. I used to go to school down there and worked at Mustangs Unlimited.

You know my buddy Jon with a dark red 3rd gen Camaro by chance? 383 stroker on the bottle, car runs in the high 10s. I know a few kids down in that area.

Nice car BTW.

Very cool. And hopefully it taught you a lesson as opposed to "hating the man for towing your car." As long as you weren't being dangerous, he did the right thing...I wish more cops thought like that.
