Toronto TL sighting: Part 3 Racing on 404N

Sunday Dec 8 about 3am on 404 North. Two TL racing past me while I was hogging the 3rd lane from the left. One was NBP and the other was SSM. Both blasted by me while I was doing 130km/h. The SSM one later pulled over to the right shoulder ahead of me and stopped. After I passed him he got moving again. I assume he was waiting for me to pass by and check out my 6000k? His SSM was lowered with OEM kit, no spoiler, tinted windows. Then the SSM exited out to Hwy 7. The NBP sped away without a trace. I did't get much of what his ride was like.

Post colors

FYI,

SSM = satin silver metalic
NBP = nighthawk black pearl

Tatewaki was trying to describe the cars he saw. I'm surprised since he only got a chance to see the backs of them! :p

derrick,

thx... hehe, i always thought SSM meant some kind of special edition, and thanx to you, i realized i have an SSM....

Tatewaki, what years were these? I noticed a lot of TLers in TO.... thats where I am originally from, and I have to fly up there for x-mas, so I'll be looking for them on the 401.

It could be you sam To be honest I did't really get what color the other TL was. It might have been an ADP. But if it's really you, congrets! You kicked the SSM guy's ass

Hey,

You guys are nuts -- cops everywhere up there (even I know that!!!) You're OK around 130 but see you later if you are going 140+ ... that's a $289+ ticket there alone! (if you don't get a careless driving ticket as well ...)

When did you get the ticket? Was it that the resonator removed made you drive faster?

Got it about a week and a half ago on Steeles and middlefield. Steeles and Markham road are bad for speeding. But on Markham they always hide in the same place so you just have to watch for them.
HaHaHa!! No man. I was just being stupid and decided to just go. Oh well, he won't show so it'll be another one dropped

You're lucky. In MA, a ticket for 107 in a 60 would be $445.

I think they are talking about 107 km/h not mph...
107km is around 60 mph:p

they're also speaking in canadian dollars, so $289 is really $200US.

But to make it worse, it's illegal to use radar detectors here They can impound your car on the spot if they caught you using it
