Tonight I was going out to work to finish up a report. Its a nice cool night and I took the 335i. Well, I was in the slow lane and I see a set of HID lights pull up on my rear bumper fast! WTF?!? It changes lanes and it was a murdered out 350Z. Pretty much he was jabbing at his throttle getting me to run. I just stayed in the slow lane and cruised. After a minute or so of trying the driver side window rolls down and some idiot sticks his hand out and gives me a thumbs down. The guy zooms off and begins weaving through traffic.

I keep my pace and he gets stuck behind traffic. Again I am side by side with this clown and he again tries to get me to run. Well, I end up getting ahead of him, he changes lanes, and he begins to ride my ass. He was so close that I couldnt even see his headlights anymore. That's 1. I take a exit and he follows. Perfect. I call in to my co-worker who was on beat and told him to position himself should this idiot follow me into my city. My lane splits into 2 lanes and he gets beside me. The driver looks over and says," Hey bitch.. lets see what that over priced piece of shit can do." and begins revving his engine. The light turns green and he peels out. That's 2.

Speed limit is 35 and he is doing about 50+. That's 3. The next light turns red and we end up next to each other again. Once again I get the verbal abuse. Driver: "Come on bitch. I will smoke your ass." The Passenger: "What a fucking pussy." I turn to them and said," You never know.. there might be cops around." Not sure who said it but I heard " Fuck the police". The light turns red and he burns out again. That's 4.

My bluetooth goes off and its my partner working beat. I roll up my window and answer my phone. I have him a description of the car and he said he was ready. Light turns green and he sees my partner who has his unit sticking out behind a safeway store and right when he passed my buddy lit his ass up. He pulls over and I pull in behind my buddy and put on my bullet proof vest that was in my trunk.

As my partner backed me up, I went up to the car and identified myself as the police and both of them were in shock. I got his driver license, registration, and insurance. He didn't say anything. I grabbed one of my buddy's cites n hit him up for speeding, exhibition of speed- 2 counts, tinted driver and passenger side windows, and Exhaust. As I filled out the cite I told my buddy to take them out of the car and to tell the driver that his car was getting towed as well.

I went up to the driver and explained to him what I was citing him for and that the Exhibition of Speed was a misdemeanor though we weren't going to arrest him but his car was now mine. He broke down and started to cry!!! Started whimpering and saying " I have finals tomorrow sir! How am I going to get to work?" "Please don't take my car!" The kid was 18 years old and he had to call his dad to pick him up. Needless to say the dad wasn't happy. Tow truck came and took the car. Pretty much he's going to have to pay around 400 bucks to get the car back.

I felt no pity. So lesson is, don't go picking races with people because you never know who you might run into. This kid learned the hard way.

ouch....he did learn the hard way

Had a close call with someone around here, some guys trying to get me to race and a pickup truck was tailing close behind. Guy riding with me tells me not to take off cuz the truck was being driven by a cop. I didn't believe him, but i didn't want to take any chances so i continued cruising. Soon the truck passes me and what do you know, a cop in full uniform was driving it and glaring at me. Lesson learned here: expect anything out there and be careful where you drive.

I hate it when ricers do that, knowing damn well they have nothing worth running, yet the still weave in and out of traffic like they're Michael Schumacher!

I usually do a 2nd gear pull to near redline, let the BOV go off, shift into third and let the speed settle down to 40, then whatever else they wanna do after that, they're on their own...

Exhibition of Speed. You don't have to be doing over the speed limit to get one of those tickets. Rapid acceleration can get you an EoS ticket.

GREAT story! I don't mess with people on the street unless I know who they are for this particular reason.

My thoughts exactly. You can do a hard pull to 35mph in a 35mph zone all by yourself and get an EoS ticket. The laws are getting tighter, boys.

I received a written warning in my stock 94 Subaru Legacy for "rapid acceleration" when I did a 5k pull in 1st just to get across the intersection. If you've driven an early 90's Legacy you'll know there's no such thing as "rapid acceleration".. lol

Exhibition of speed is such a shit ticket as it has no factual basis and is up to the officer's feelings.

Outside of that, the moron got what he deserved.

yup, I actually drive faster in my bone stock '92 (and I have a speeding ticket to prove it, D'OH!) than in my modified not-street-legal '89...

damn 92 is just way too quiet and smooth, I look down and I'm doing 50..!

Damn..thats crazy. A similar situation happened to me before, only difference is, it was my dad that ticket my ass. For real, my own father gave me a damn speeding ticket, can you believe that? And then when I got home, that man had the nerver to ask me, how was your day? Needless to say I know what his UC car looks like so i hardly drive the Supra fast anymore. We all know we had that one moment in time, when there is the urge squeezing it for a quick minute just because you know the power is there. But trust me, your heart skips a beat and you get that pucker effect when you see those blue & red lights in the rear view mirror.
