Wink Almost caught by Trooper

This morning as I was driving in to work at 6:40AM, state trooper was almost caught me speeding.
I was doing my usual (90 mph in 55 zone) on the same highway that I drive everyday. It’s been almost 1 year that I start taking this route to work. So far, I only see state trooper about 3 or 4 time during the whole year. As I was approaching the end of the highway, suddenly I saw the state trooper about couple hundred feet away. WTF @#$$#@..my $300 Escort radar never went off.. (I think the trooper never had the radar turn on) About 100 feet after the state trooper there is the last highway exit. Quickly, slow down the car to about 70MPH, made three lane change passing by the trooper… going for the exit.. looking into my rear view mirror, trooper was pulling out of the ditch but didn’t see the light on.... F@@k..

Make on to the last exit ramp going about 75MHP.. My god… this ramp was going 270 degree circle … while trying to slow down a bit.. But with trooper on tail (I think), I keep the car going at 70MHP.. (Thank god to all the awesome suspension mod on the car). Made safely to the end of ramp.. on to local road.. start to speed up again.. Until couple blocks later. I finally slow down to local speed.. another trouble brew… I have no IDEA WHERE I AM.. ..

Let me get this straight - you been driving 90, in a 55, everyday, for almost a year.

I'd say you've been pretty damn lucky; legally and safety-wise.

I know, I know, I don't know your parameters, I'm just sayin.....

I go fast too, don't get me wrong, I'm not preachin, but not 35mph over, every single day.

Count your blessings this time. Be careful out there.

Glad you didn't get a ticket...but you added more fuel to my burning question for myself of [i]detector / no detector...[i]

CLOSE CALL--

My brother was hauling a** in his BMW---we were going about 100 on I75 in Florida. A trooper was sitting in the middle and pulled out when he saw us fly by. We thought we can make it to the exit, which was about 1 mile away, but we saw him catching up quick as ******. When he pulled us over, I was sure he was going to get a wreckless driving ticket, but the trooper turned out to be cool as hell.

The funny thing was, is that the trooper said "I thought you had an M3, so for a minute, I thought I might have a little problem catching up, but you only have a 328." I started laughing. Then he said "You see, I got a little something you kids call Juice in the trunk!!!!:eek: " Come to find out, the trooper was Nitrous equiped, that's why he caught up so quick. He told us to just slow it down, and let us go without a ticket.

Now that's some *****!!!!:eek:
