Just a Ticket... I am lucky

Well I finally got spanked!!!!!!!!!!!! I was coming home from picking up some ice cream for my kids. It was dark (around 9:00) I swear I didn't see him right behind me.

So I'm at a traffic light. I rev it up to about 4K dump the clutch, all 4 wheel break loose. I looking striaght ahead dump it into 2nd notice I am going around 75 and his lights come on. OH ****.

It like takes him what seems forevrer to come up to the car. He asks me... how old are you. I tell him. He says your driving like you're 16. Long story short he admires TTs. In fact has poster of one in his house. Based on what I did I could have been towed and taken away for the night. Again he is a great Porsche fan so he gives me a 45 in a 35 zone, Cool guy. Lesson learned... pay attention.

I was even luckier today!! I guess it was a birthday present from the taxi driver.

I was at beacon st, boston and I was behind a taxi at 70mph, speedlimit was 40mph I think... and the taxi got pulled over, I was so shocked!! I thought I was the one who got pulled over.

thank GOD!!!

I got lucky too.

Yesterday on El Camino (35MPH zone) there was a car trying to cross the intersection and he was caught in my lane. Instead of just braking I Floored it and hit 60MPH right away. And of course some copper on his bike with a radar gun right their. Endra was right behind me as I got immediately pulled over.

Guy was very nice and admired my car. He asked if I track it Well he let me off and actually was a very cool cop.

That's now 4 out 4 that I have gotten out of tickets. Go CHP 11-99

When you did that take off, was he literally right behind you?

I bet he was laughing at you since you didn't see him. Too funny. I've been pulled over once in my C2, and got no break. I haven't yet in my TT been pulled over (knock on wood).... I feel jinxed even typing that.
