anyways, not trying to get too off-tracked; i've been caught cruising a bit over the limit (usually 10-15mph over), and usually the cop will drive close (on side or behind) until i realize they're there and slow down, he/she may wave and drive on their marry way. i've had cops remind me about my tint (5% around and 15% on the windshield), rims, etc.

i'd hate to lose this "respect" that sen_jen is talking about. it feels so good driving and not really having to worry (even with mods). ****, when i drive my sr20ve powered sentra just 10mph over cops follow me for MILES sometimes all the way home and the only thing noticalbly modified is the exhaust.

back in 2003 when i turned 18 i bought a street bike. i'd haul *** all the time (150+mph). i thought it was the coolest thing in the world passing cops gunning for speeding at 150mph and watching them trying to put their gun away, start their car/bike and actually attempt to catch me. coolest thing in the world until i got caught doing 144mph in a 35mph zone...do the math that's 109mph OVER. got tossed on the ground, hand cuffed, etc. judge gave me the option: 1) sell the bike (and don't own another bike until i turned 21) and pay the fines or 2) keep the bike, pay the fines AND do 2 straight years jail (without parole). of course i choose #1

i love going fast, it feels good but not if it endangers yourself or especially others. it just ain't worth the risk anymore. i got my family, education, pilot school, future career with the air force and especially my GF to worry about. are you willing to cause all that pain/grief because you wanted to go fast? if yes, you're a complete idiot!

sorry for rambling on...............

to add to this story...i was followed by yet another idiot this morning. Lic. GWU 813 (or was it 816) I forget. It's an 05 (I think - 05 rims), black coupe.

Right after the Pearl City-On heading town, this kid starts flying it through traffic. And starts tail gating me..I'm already like WTF is this kids problem? On the airport via duct right next to the stadium, he's trying to weed out the traffic but, even tighter traffic was heading up...I was about to take the zipper lane. Not too akamai.
