Ford Taurus

raced me the other night. He pulled up next to me and then took off and slowed down again. I started not to answer the challenge but I did anyway. Off course the winner of this race is a no brainer but we met a cop head on. We were doing about 75
in a 40 zone. The cop couldn't turn around immediate due to on coming traffic. The Taurus turned onto a back street but kept going. The cop caught up to me and looked hard into my car. I didn't look immediately because I was too busy praying. I guess he wasn't 100% sure I was the car he was wanting as I of couse had slowed down to the speed limit. Normally I have my radar in my car but we had just returned from a long road trip and it was still in my van. Just glad I didn't get a ticket.

You are one lucky dog. Not only speeding, but racing. That would have hurt.

I'm not sure how modded your car is but it's a good reason to keep it reasonably stock looking. You just kinda blend in with all of the other Acuras and Hondas out there.

Close call. He could have locked you up and took your car away for good because of racing. Its just not worth it.

Not to be too nosy but are you a kid or an adult? I would expect a cop to give an older driver the benefit of doubt before a kid.

I would say that's probably the reason the cop didn't stop you.

Stick a baby car seat in the back and you'll never get the ticket. It wouldn't hurt to throw some cracker crumbs on the floor in the back for good measure.

reminds me of a short story i have to add in here. i was with some friends that were all out street racing. i dont race but some times it is fun to watch. anyway when the cops came to bust it all up there were about 30 -40 cars all on this street they were using to race on. the first cop blocked 1 end and another went all the way to the end and blocked that end. we were all trapped in between both cop cars and there was no other exit to get out of there. so one by one they checked ID's and looked for anyone who had unpaid tickets or anything they could throw at us. when i rolled up to the cop the lady cop said to me "what parking lot were you parked in". as we has parked in several businesses parking lots alongside the street (at 11:30pm) my answer was "parking lot? i dont know what your talking about i was just trying to get down to this end of the street to make a turn on this street here. the next thing i knew there were cars everywhere and cops all over the place and i dident know what the hell was going on.." so she points the flash light at me and can tell that i am over 30 years old and i am driving a family sedan and waved me to go ahead and dident ask me for another thing! meanwhile absolutly every other person they got their ID checked and questioned except me! all my friends got a kick out of that!

IT WORKS..also get the little magnet gas cover soccer ball. only use on trips and stuff or your friends will worry about your sexuality.
