Got away and kept my car. I was dropping off a girlfriend last Saturday night. I usually do not race in Los Angeles County because of that new bullshit about they will seize your car. We are heading north on Canoga, a street that is good for racing because of lack of cross streets, in my younger days anyways. This jerk in a modded 81' Z28 just kept ******* with me. For 3 miles he just kept riding my ***, cutting me off, and just being a dick. Not sure what he had but is sounded good.Anyway he did one of those 'almost hitting you lane changes' and cuts me off for the last time. I decided to run him, being egged on by the girl in my passanger seat helped with the 'smart' decision. Anyway I blow by this guy, who went on the red 
, like he threw the car in reverse. Feeling good I get ahead by about 8 cars @ 85-90mph. He gets on my *** again! As I watch the clown behind me I see a full size Crown Vic dart out of a empty parking lot about 2 blocks behind. I can not see a light bar, too far and dark, but he is gaining speed quick and I decide to do a Smokey & The Bandit. I hit it and hit 100 mph, street turns left and I take it at 70. Blow a stop sign (no cars anywhere) make a left, the street curves after 1/2 block putting me out of view. As this all happens I notice behind the 81' Z28 was trying to follow, but never made it to the stop sign. I saw the street lit by his headlights, but he never cam in view (got stopped?) His slow car made a nice barrier for me. I wound up doubleling back to the same street and went the other direction. I not 100% sure if it was a cop, but better to be safe than sorry. I have to think next time.

Re: Got away and kept my car. you got ***** my man, i'll give you that. personally, i'd never run from the cops unless i was positive i knew the area better than him, i had a good lead, and... hell i dunno, i was temporarlly out of my mind. hah.
couple months back i was on this minor highway when a guy in a wrx was ******* with me. we ended up doing over 100 down the highway (speed limit 50), passing this bigass blue car which was the only other car on the road. then the bigass blue car starts trying to catch up with us. wrx takes the next rigth real hard cause he's smarter than i am. i stop at the light ahead of me... blue car (NOW i see it's a crown vic) comes barrelling down behind me. suddenly behind me, it's christmas. i'm like "oh ****. there goes my car and my license"... nope. cop flicks the lights off. pulls up beside me, mouths the words "SLOW DOWN" and i just nod my head dumbly and he takes off down the same road the wrx took.
i don't know if he was going after the subaru, or just was on his way back to the station and didn't care or what... but man i am now convinced that there are at least a FEW cool cops out there. my previous experiences had led me to believe otherwise.

California laws have always been a bunch of crap.

Re: Got away and kept my car.
damn dude dont get impounded before we race !!!!
You better watch your *** too. You know live there. If we do race we should go to Ventura County. I was lucky once, don't know if I can pull it off again. I wish there was a track close by.

Re: Got away and kept my car. Hey just remember, it's not running from the cops till they get behind you with their lights on. With that being said, i've lost a few cops out on some county roads. I don't recomend this.

Blownchevy, I went to The Valley the next day. I doubt the cop got a good look at me. It was dark, my car is black, and I was doing 80 when he saw me. I don't think they will put out an APB on all black camaros.
