Whoooeeeee me and johnny law just had a close one.
I was bombing around the eastlake area of lake union and wound up going up a nasty brick road, this was ****** horrible, at 10mph my car was bouncin and shaking so much I'll probably have to go through the entire ****** and check for loose bolts.
Damned seattle streets are the worst. I had to slow to just off idle to get up the one way sumbish.
So as i reach the top im plenty steamed. Its a two way with a curbed divider that parallels I-5. Roanoke I believe is the street.
So I pull out and nobodys around and I just hammer the gas, tires go up in smoke in first and I click it into second and now the fun begins as the tires really gain some speed. As I'm dancin side to side, feathering the throttle between 5-6K and smiling like the cheshire cat a seattle cop comes around the blind corner from under I-5. My tires are boiling off smoke and the motors singing around 5500 r's.
I think to myself, "****, I'm busted"![Cry](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_cry.gif)
Then I see and remember the yellow curb seperating us and know he's not gonna be able to get me. So I hang my arm out the window and wave to him as I'm still sawing at the wheel and feathering the gas. Then I click it into drive and hit the on ramp to I-5 southbound that was straight ahead of me. I look in my rear view and see him stopped in the road, no doubt thinking if he should attempt the yellow curb hop or not to try and go after me. He decided against it.
That was close.

Heart was racing like a hummingbirds. Had to have a cigar to settle down. I pulled the car into the vehicle maintenance garage when I got back to work. No need for it to be on the street aftet that.
All kinds of **** flashed in my mind when I saw the red and blues on top of the car. "Son of a bitch!!" "Damn, there goes my insurance." "****, how stupid am I?!" "Do they tow cars for reckless driving?" all in a millisecond.
Then the good one came to me. "YELLOW CURB"![Grin](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_grin.gif)
I can only make the last race of the season, and i think it's at PRR(Poorly Run Raceway)
But I'll be there regardless

Kind of hard to do that around here. There are only 5 4th gens in the whole county and mine is the only vert and the only black one. There are good and bad points about small towns. Everyone knows everyone else's cars so it's hard to get away with anything. But, there's hardly any traffic, never any car thefts.

Unless this yellow curb was insanely high, I woulda jumped it and gone after ya. ![Winky](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_wink.gif)
I had a dude in a nice new LT1 A4 Formie sitting in the left turn lane one night, right next to me as I was in one of the straight lanes (in my black & white patrol car in a VERY well lit intersection) and when his light went green he roasted those poor tires to oblivion......was doing donuts in the intersection and everything......stayed on it burning up the tires for a block or so....................then he heard the dreaded siren..........his license got suspended for that lil show (I took pics of the black streaks in the asphault afterwards) and his car was impounded....worst thing was, it wasn't HIS car...it was his buddies who I gladly told how fucked up his friend was treating it.

And the chase would have been on my friend. ![Winky](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_wink.gif)
There really wasn't any room for him to hop it, unless he hit lit em up first and it sideways, there were cars lining the other side of the street and he would have had to hit reverse unless he was going to use joe public's car as a bumper device.
Right next to ya huh?
a real rocket surgeon he was.
