Yeah, I don't know how he managed to get them, both especially, but you gotta hand it to him. I was impressed. Even my dog riding in the back seat was like "Dayyum! He got em both!" There wasn't really anywhere for them to go, kinda in the middle of just farmland and marsh with just a couple little roads to jump off. Course, those cars kinda stood out. One was canary yellow, and the other was deep blue with big dual white stripes down the middle. Would be hard to hide from DOT's ****-copter, which would have been airborne instantly, I'm sure.

So, what are you suggesting? It's ok to run into and kill me or a member of my family? Maybe you just want to be the star of the next incredibly stupid chase video on TV.

first of all i'd never drive that fast on the street, but if i was already going that fast and a cop saw me i'd keep on truckin. that was the point of me saying dangerous and irresponsible, because i know it shouldnt be done

OCPD caught me racing a 3rd gen dodge dually last weekend at 2a.m. and let me off with a warning. one of the dumber things ive done, but at least the streets were empty when it happened...only other vehicles were the other 7 ford and dodge diesels cruising behind us.

he made a U-turn and ran, got away, they pulled me over but had no evidence to write me up because the officer didnt see me do it. i havent turned my comp box on since...when we are young and dumb we do these things and learn. ive learned so go ahead and flame me if you wish

Why Flame you, GB? You've already learned-- there's no point. It's preaching to the choir.

The adrenaline rush of racing is addictive.

Heck, I bracket raced my Daily Driven 1997 Maxima for 2 summers almost every weekend. That car ran consistent 16.80-16.81s. I beat the track champ a couple times-- once when his nitrous bottle ran out.

My point here being that racing at the track is JUST as exciting, if not more. The adrenaline rush of pulling to the line is so strong you'd think you just took some kind of illicit substance!

Yeah I've slowed down quite a bit too. I was traveling around 140 or so when I passed 4 marked cars coming towards me and of course they all lit me up. I figured they already had me so I gave it more gas ( supercharged 2000 Dodge Dakota RT with 11 lb pulley). The windows started to shake and I turned off and headed another direction. I never did get caught but I will NEVER do something stupid like that again. My wife just brought this up last weekend while we were on a short road trip

If you get pulled over for 130 in a 45 near Strong City, KS at 3am and you get a warning, you feel lucky. Especially when the officer tells you "I can either tell you what speed I clocked you at or I can let you go with a verbal warning and we won't tell anyone". Funny how it only takes 2 hours to get from Wichita to the otherside of KCMO including time spent beside the road when you're consistantly double the speed limit.

actually in illinois yur not allowed to pull anyone over doing I think around 100mph?? The cop isnt supposed to chase you b/c it can lead to more problems and endangering other civilians. I have to find this artcle where they chased some punk kids and the kids ended up running and killing someone, so the family sued the police and won.

I had an '04 srt-4 neon before hurricane Ivan smashed it with a tree. It would do 153 mph stone stock. Crown vic cop cars can't go nearly that fast, but they can catch you if you run into some other traffic that blocks you.

Reminds me of a line from an old country song: "You might outrun my old Chevrolet, but you can't outrun my old two-way (radio)."

Ill never forget when I had my cobra, I was driving in front of my friends leading the way b/c the didnt know how to get to his kids house we were going to and I was totally just driving normal the whole time and then I see a cop behind a few cars behind trying to catch up to someone. I wasnt scared b/c I knew I didnt do anything wrong but surely when he gets to me, he turns his mic on and says "Dont NO bother running, I already got your plates" so he pulls me over and he tells me "you know what you did" b/c I had an extreme look on my face like "***" after asking me times "are you sure you dont know why I pulled you over" and me telling him "I have NO clue" he says "well, you passed up a bike and you punched and I heard your loud exhaust" which I said "ohhh....that was my friend, he didnt know how to get to a friends house so he let me lead the way." NO ticket and all went well. But it was just funny how he yelled in his mic for me not to bother running. I guess this view scared him:
