I love roadside consultations.

What did that cop say matt? I thought for sure he would get me since I flew past you.

FattyBoomBatty · 04-14-2010

I saw the flashy lights. Were you even speeding?

ylimert01 · 04-14-2010

uh oh what happened.

tpunx99GSX · 04-14-2010

LOL matts probably in jail right now because the garage heater looks like a rocket launcher.

**cmspaz** · 04-14-2010

I'm sorry Matt D, I should have seen him there running my plates in the lane next to me after we came around that interchange, he came off southbound and probably jizzed his pants over the giant fundraiser in front of him.

3 weeks and maybe you can all say goodbye to my sweet DSM.

Matt D. · 04-15-2010

Nothing bad happened. Long story short, I scratched his back, he scratched mine. Got off with a warning. I can fill in details with those that I feel deserve to be.

^^ Make your own thread about it. We had a little event happen on 55 between 494 and 169. Andrew appearantly over-accelerated

and blew the coupler off the outlet of his compressor housing so Scheides and I had to pull over on the side of the road to help him out with it. Just as we were getting the intake back on a Plymouth cop stopped by to see what was up. We told him just a little car troubles, and that we had it under control, so he drove off.

I win. I sat in the back of a state patrol car.

**Kracka** · 04-15-2010

Sounds like an exciting night

**cmspaz** · 04-15-2010

There were like 5 cops on 55 with people pulled between 169 and my exit once I got back down from the fiasco on 694. I can't believe how many people I've seen pulled over the past couple days, cops need to find productive things to do like fight real crime.

What is with the hate of law enforcement? Are you really expecting state patrol officers to participate in drug raids or something? In this trooper's defense he was doing the right thing, more importantly doing his part to keep our highways safe. Unfortunately for us it was a case of "mistaken identity", if you will, which I got us all out of. He was ready to unleash the hounds on everyone else that drove away but guess what. He didn't. I was sensible and so was he. Leave it at that.

How was he supposed to get all of us? Dude in the Conquest was way ahead of you, you switched like 3 lanes and blew past a Semi, Mike blew past me, then here comes state patrol blowing past the semi all within like 20 seconds... I was thinking "uh oh. Hopefully he wasn't drinking..." I'm surprised the Conquest guy wasn't the one getting stopped.

I'll incriminate myself, thank you!

And there was no such switching of lanes, my lane just opened up, and I'm a pro at hacking traffic, even when it's a gaggle of evos.

Sorry, I just get tired of seeing groups of cops sitting at interchanges playing "traffic hero" instead of out looking for real problems. You have to realize that when you get pulled over for speeding, it's not about safety, it's not about upholding the law, it's about the state making bank. That's the way it's been for decades, and that's the way it'll stay. I'd honestly rather pay more money to the state via taxes than having to deal with fighting tickets to keep my insurance down.

I'm sure it could be argued that we were being "reckless" or "dangerous" but realistically I'd rather have someone go flying past me who's got racing experience as opposed to someone with no license or insurance who's only been driving for a year, and those're the people who always seem capable of keeping their sorry asses on the roads while we get picked on.

I'm expecting your tone will change when you get older. Maybe you should move to California for a couple of years like someone else did because you can't handle the law keeping you down.
