Just got a ticket on the way to Vegas on Friday having some fun with a Porsche. The officer caught up to me when I was doing 105 in a 70mph.

It was fun while it lasted... good times!

 

178 in a 55, when I was 18 riding a superbike, went straight to county look up where I spent 3 nights because I was not calling my parents to bail me out and I did not want to throw away 1k to get out because I knew my wad was about to be blown on a lawyer.

Best story
Was driving the Gallardo when my local Audi dealer called me to tell me they had a V10 R8 that I could drive for a bit to see if I liked it. After 10 mins I realized It was not as fun as my Gallardo and returned it. A few of the service managers asked for rides and I was happy to do so. We past a cop at triple digit speeds and I immediately pulled over. The service advicer was about to come up with a bs story when I said I'll just take my ticket like a man. The cop said do you know why I pulled you over and I said I can take an educated guess. He said when you pulled off the highway you did not use your blinker. It was bring your son to work day, and the cop said if you let my son take some pics I'll be happy to over look it. I said your son can take drive the car LOL. After his son snapped a few camera phone pics the cop also mentioned that several cars had called in to say there was a yellow lamborghini doing 200 mph on US 19, so if I had another car he suggest I drive that for the rest of the day, which I did. To set the record straight we only saw 170 and the rode was completely empty overpass so no room for someone to enter the highway.

 

"Only saw 170" ha ! Thats a good story, lucky, but good.

 

and honestly 170 does not feel any different than 200, at that point if you crash the results are the same as well. I've done 205 and its same feeling. in Lambo's with down force its rather uneventful

 

Damn........... You are an absolute speed junkie............ And you have some *****!!


I hope to be like you one day!!

 

Nice story, what a lucky break for you.

 

lets hear them

 

I was 24, 18 years ago. I had just bought a Mazda RX7 TT. This was the ultralight car with 265HP. I was doing an inventory for my company over night. I lived 30 miles away with my parents. The road was 476 outside of Philadelphia. It had just been completed that year and was in fantastic shape. There was controversy as to who was going to police the road; State vs. local police so it was notorious for having no traffic patrol. I had a big cup of coffee and set off for home around 2:30AM knowing that I had to be back by 9:00AM. I had the road to myself and thought that I would test the speed limiter that was set at 155 mph. I hit it twice and the car revved down until I got to 135. As 10 miles past I noticed lights in my rear view closing fast. At 24 of course my thought was there's another nut out here, may be we'll race. As he closed in, I slowed down and approached a straight section of 2-3 miles. Then, I could see flashing red and blue lights on both sides of the highway. The car behind me got up on my bumper and lit up like a Christmas Tree. I pulled over and he shinned a spot on my back and told me to pull up to the other cars. The police put me in the back of a car, searched my car and put it on a flat bed before saying a word to me. I was taken to the local police station and booked for evading an office and 3-4 other offenses. I didn't get out until 5AM without my car. I hired a lawyer and went to court 3 times. The total expenses for ticket, citation, court costs and impounding were a little more than $4000 not to mention the legal fees. I lost my license for 6 months and had to go to classes for twice a week with a bunch of drunk drivers. I bought that car on Halloween and sold it by the end of the following summer. It cost more to drive that car for one year than the Aston. I switched to SUV's for 8 years before I bought another sports car.

 

@ tourbillon 001 - Great story!

 

not a lambo story-- but still an fun one. 2,000 years ago ( the mid 80's when the oil embargo crap was happening) wifey and I were zooming across desolate northern AZ late one night in November on the reservation when we passed a DPS officer that had someone pulled over with lights flashing, etc. I slowed my guards red 944 P-car down to 55 MPH WAAY before I passed him, then proceeded to slowly dial it back up to about 80 MPH once his lights were way back in my rear view. Then the wife got frisky, so we were making out and fooling around until I noticed that the cop was on my *** with lights ablazing! He must have floored his cruiser once he left his first pull-over! I pulled over and this like 24 year old smokey bear (with the hat and everything) asks me for license, registration, etc. I kept a 9mm Smith in the glove box at the time, so I politely told him that all my docs were in the golve box, but that there was a pistol there too-- and how did he want to handle it? He looked me sternly in the eye and said "What did you say?" I repeated my line, and he said-- "where is the glove box?" I told him, then he told me to slowly reach over and just open the glove box. As I leaned over-- he quickly stripped his glove off his gun hand!! Jesus! I leaned back and he said "pick up the gun and lay it on the dash". Then "slowly slide the gun across the dash towards me" I did, then he reached in and grabbed it and asked me for my "concealment permit". You didn't need one then in AZ-- and I explained to him that it wasn't considered concealed, due to in holster, in glove box (access element, etc), etc.-- and he said-- Oh, ok". Real rookie. He goes back to his car and spends like 15 minutes on the radio-- then comes back with the magazine out of the pistol, the BULLETS out of the mag-- and treats me like a king. It was "Mr. This and Mr. That-- treated me like we were old friends. While my wife was freezing with the window down all the time. At the time, there was a federal mandated 55 mph limit-- he got me for 82 MPH on radar-- but wrote me for only 65 since that was only a $25 "energy waster" fee rather than the jail time for doing 25 MPH over the limit. My wife was convinced it was because I alerted him to the pistol, etc. I always have had good luck alerting any peace officer that I am carrying a weapon-- they seem to appreciate it and begin to trust you.

 

just for this reason LOL

 

I was driving home with my wife from shopping I was doing about 110 when I passed a state trooper. I knew he had me and was pulled over before he even pulled out. he came to the window and the conversation went like this.
Trooper: Do you know what you were doing
Me: yes sir speeding
Trooper: do you know how fast you were going
Me: how fast did you get me
Trooper: 85
Me: then you got me a hell of alot slower than I was going
Trooper: what's the big hurry
Me: I was trying to get home for the Jet's game
the trooper then went to his car to write me a ticket. when he returned this is how it continued
Me: Let me ask you a question. If I had told you I testified in a hearing for the state police would you have let me off?
Trooper: why did you wait till I wrote the ticket to ask me that?
Me: I figured I deserved the ticket.
Trooper: Well I would have let you off and by the way you use that same line on me 2 weeks ago and you waited till I had already wrote you the ticket then too.
He hands me a warning and says "the next time you're going to jail".

 

So I'll set the scene for you. We have a convoy of rather fast cars going to a cars and coffee in Florida. Merci, twin turbo R8, CL63, Maserati Gran Turismo, Ford GT40, and 3 Porsche 911's. We decide to take a toll road to the location that I don't know how to get to and I'm the only fool without a sun pass. So I have to stop and pay ever toll which means I also have to catch back up. Well I stop for a toll and find a wide open road in front of me so I open her up and let it rip (I was driving my DD 997.2S) and I come over a crest to see Mr. State trooper sitting on the side of the road. I slam on the brakes to slow down to about 120 by the time I pass him from about 160 when I saw him. He looks me right in the eyes as I pass him and never pulls out. Why the speeding gods smiled on my I have no idea, but he did not even begin to pull out. When we pulled into the cars and coffee, the group was a buzz about the state trooper and how they all hauled *** past him so Its not like I caught him off guard. I guess I got super lucky

 

so i was driving from calagry to vancouver in an e39 m5, not mine but a very good friends who had flown back for work so i got to take the car and one of his friends back. just as we were going threw hope (yes i know i should have slowed down because anyone who knows that road knows that there will be an rcmp officer in the median waiting for you) going 140km limit is 110 and get lit up. the officer was standing in the median on the left side of the road me in the fast lane. he jumps out in traffic infront of me and points to his side of the road. a few choice words later i get the car stopped. my buddies friend who had be fairly quiet the entier trip piped up and said just take the ticket and give him a minute. i didnt understand what he meant but i see tickets as a tax on speeding so thats usualy my plan. the office was a *****...24 year old in an m5 that wasnt mine in the rain going 140=i hate you. so got the ticket for 26 over $198 or something then buddy in the passenger seat asks for the officers identification. he then gets out and goes to the trunk to get his ticket pad.....turns out he is a WCB inspector with the power to ticket people for unsafe work behavior. my ticket was 198 the 4 he wrote the cop were just shy of 700...no hi visibility vest, entering the path of traffic unsafely and 2 others. i honeslty took 5 minutes to compose myself before continuing on home. the conversation got a lot better for the next 2 hours home.

 

I would have loved to see the look on that cop's face!
