Default the second kill!

I'm ridin home tonight and this car (dont kno exactly what it was) maybe a mazda something ?? lol but anyway he starts revvin at it then drops it and take off I dont feel like goin from a role but the light up ahead go's red I get next to him and he ask's if I'm ready I just laugh ...light turns yellow on other side I keep the rpms around 2700-3000k and let the clutch out slowly and get a damn good launch put about a car on him when I shift out of 1st put 2 more when I'm out of 2'd and by the end of 3'd I have at least 6 cars on him ...I brake and get my speed back around 60 and he yells "damn that thing gots some grip" and he's like lets go from a role....

this is were the story gets reeeeeeal good the place were he wanted to go from a role theres this nice lil spot were cops like to hide where theres no way u can c them at night until its to late there not there alot of times but for some reason I got a bad feelin about it tonight so as the kid drops it a gear thinkin that I'm gonna race again he fly's right by the spot and sure enough right when the cop saw him my radar detector wents nuts and I got a K band the kid kept on goin thou prolly tryin to out run the cop which I think he did cuz I kept goin down the highway for like 10 min and never saw the kid or the cop so who kno's what happened ...

I'm just glad as hell listened to myself when I got that uneasy feelin or otherwise I would have either gotten a HUGE ticket or I would have tried something stupid like that kid did when he blew past the cop.

damn! that was crazy... here where I live if they catch you street racing they give you a $1,000 ticket, inpound your car, and they suspend your license for a year - I also think you get 1 lucky day in prision (24 hrs.)... it also depends on how fast you were going, but pretty much if your over 100 mph your toast

I have also being lucky, some times I'm speeding and for some reason I slow down and suddenly *bang!* a COP in the corner, close call *Lucky me*

I've had that gut feeling before and it is always right...

Where I live, they fine you $800, suspended license for 1 year and you spend 24 hours in jail & your car is impounded.

It's $90 to get it out and $70 for everyday it spends there.

Yeah..but just how well do those radar detectors really work? And how do they work? Do they pick up signals from the cops radio ..is that what sets them off?

A radar dector does exactly what the name implies. Detects radars, it only works if the cop has his radar on.

So if he is cruiseing in steath mode and flips the switch when he is right on you. You are screawed!!!!(I know from expreicnce).

The best thing to get is a radar jammer. That is my next "mod".

I got busted for racing when I was 18, got a $580 fine and 80 hours of community service [:'(]

I wasnt even speeding, nor did I lay drag. Never broke the tires loose, never exceeded 40mph. But, because I was racing a car from 10mph - 40mph, I got charged and it stuck.
