Default i learned something new

Ok i was home over christmas break and pulled up next to a cute girl in a mustang.I got her attention and floored itspinning my tires through first and second (they were pretty bald). Anyways i got pulled over and the cops told me it was considered street racing and its a 2nd degree misdemeanor!I got out of it with a warning, i was realllllly lucky for that. Is the law that strict about iteverywhere or is it just a florida thing?

Apparently it is a law, me and a buddy were rolling through town probably doing about 20MPH. Anyway i hit a water spot and just tapped the throttle a little bit and spin the tires just for a sec, got pulled over, and got a ticket for street racing. Pretty sweet

thats rediculous. in IL, my buddy in his rsx was flooring it behind me and blocked him from getting around me when the lanes merged, so him being the jack@$$ he is, he went around me using the opposite lane. A cop pulled out a good 1/2 a mile back, and i knew theyd go after him ( ihad my at the time stock v6 vert, no exhaust, like a few years ago)cuz he has a hugefolgers can on the back and a big silver wing, so i ducked into a neighborhood and put the top up and parked in my buddies garage. he kept driving, got speeding, improper lane change, street racing, wreckless driving, and endangering a minor or some siht (his gf was 17 at the time). They nailed him good, and they said theyd let him off of most of it if he gave them my plates and phone number, he was freaking out so he did, but he didnt know my plates. they called me and said they were sending me a ticket for street racing. I asked how, i wasnt speeding, i wasnt even accelerating and they said you were racing. I asked him what my plates were and what my car was, he said we need to get that from you, and i hung up. rediculous. sorry for the book there

dont wry about the book this was really a much longer story i had typed out but it didnt post and i didnt feel like retyping it. i read the warning when i got home and the cop wrote in big letters FALSE START right across it. Dick. i woulda ripped my friend a new one if he did that and then tried to turn me in like that.

I'm glad i live in Mexico and 90% of the cases the police won't even try to catch u up LOL
And if they do .... just 100 - 200 pesos will do the work (10 - 20 dlls)

Did you also learn that women think that guys who do stuff like that in their cars are super duper cool? They are totally impressed by it.
True story.
