Isn't it so much fun
Hell yes! I can't count the number of brats who think they can sneak by in the curb lane with their 90bhp Neon or Civic. When you can see the whites of their eyes in the rear view mirror, you know you've impacted their self-worth.IJ.;1258935 said:Isn't it so much fun
I smoked one the other night on the way home
30 litres of fuel in the tank TRAC off and 23psi+METH make the fat car "interesting".
He and his GF pulled alongside at the next red clapped laughed and gave me a thumbs up so it was good but now and again you'll get one that sulks and won't look over.

Hey Kenny, this thread is making me laugh. I'm heading into my early sixties
and with my current build I'm looking for 550 rwhp. Driving fast has always been fun-when done in the right conditions. I hope all the younger guys here maintain there enthusiasm for fast cars and bikes as long as I have, over the years it's afforded me the opportunity to meet a lot of interesting people and develop some long lasting friendships.
Even thinking of adding a TRD supercharger to my 5.7L Tundra, makes playing with the Dodge turbo diesels more fun!
My youngest son and I just picked up a really nice 92 SC 300 5 speed, already have located a 2JZ TT 6 speed for a swap.
AND I have 3 grand sons!

That's just plain awesome Fred! I would love to watch you smoke some youngin and see the look on his face afterwards! It's even more gratifying when they have their girlfriend in the car!
You should start a build thread! Especially since you and I have the same cars! I'd love to see some pics.

I have had several of the do it to me both in the supra and in the escort 2dr 5 speed i drive to work and the jimmy. However it's much much funner when they speed off from a dead stop in front of My marked PC or come flying past my marked PC into town and continue speed. My basic theory is they don't car.
I think it hilarious.

Two stories: And a lot of officers that I have known have been car guys.
Last summer I was on one of my favorite roads, little narrow, little twisty with a few short straights but it can be driven fast. I know the policeman heard me coming because the car's pretty loud, but I passed him going the other way with his lights flashing, took a quick glance as I shifted from 2nd to 3rd at 6,000 with the HKS BOV going off coming out of a slight right hand turn. I don't know if he expected me to stop for a ticket, I didn't.
The other is from a long time ago. I had a new '69 Mach 1-428 Cobra Jet Mustang that was ungodly fast in a straight line. Senior year of college and I was working nights at a Pizza Hut. Left work at around 1:30 heading back to the dorm, headed up N. Eddy St. which runs right into the Notre Dame campus, blew thru a stop sign at about 90mph. Then I saw the lights in my mirror and decided I had better stop. Officer got out of his car with the classic "boy what are you doing?" While he was writing me the ticket for running the stop sign I asked him if my buddy Dave, a K9 patrolman, was working that night. Dave and a number of others were Pizza Hut regulars and really good guys doing a tough job. Any way I got the ticket and turned around and headed back to the Hut. Closed and no one was around. Headed back to campus the same way, went thru the stop sign and saw the lights again! This time the officer came up to the car saying: " why didn't you tell me you worked at the Hut and were friends with Dave and the other guys?"
Then he asked me to give him back the ticket he had written, he tore it up,
I said come on buy the Hut any time, I headed back to campus and we laughed about it later. "The good old days"!:biglaugh:
Good stories Fred.
I have a couple myself; but, not as good as getting pulled over twice by the same officer and having him tear up your ticket. That's awesome!
15 years old (that's when you get your license out on the bayou) in a 69 Mustang Fastback. I had a buddy in the car and he wanted to see what it could do. So I get on it and just as I shift to third I pass a cop going the other direction. Speedo check, it's at 90, and I'm in a 45 zone. I figure he's got to go a little ways before he can turn around so I slam it! My buddy starts screaming, "Just pull over...Just pull over". He sounded like a little girl!
After a short chase I got boxed in by a motorcycle cop and a regular patrol car. About five minutes later the officer I passed finally gets there. He screamed in my face and drug me around by my shirt a bit. That's bayou treatment for ya. After he found out who I was, he was even more angry; but, let off in a hurry. It pays to be related to a supreme court judge. And even better to be related to two of them!!
I ran from the cops two other times in my life. One time I got caught and the other time I didn't. The time I didn't get caught, was when I was on my Katana 600.
I later got pulled over for 110 in a 55 on that thing. I was up here in WA then; but, still had my New Orleans License. He looked at my license and said "New Orleans!? No one's from New Orleans!" He then handed me back my license and said "I'm going home and you need to slow it down!" I said "Yes Sir!" and went on my way.
