This is of course after the guy who I trained at work, who has 30 points on his license or so, told me how he had his Audi TT special edition turbo, to 160mph right under redline in the last gear running from the state troopers the other night. Moron.
They'll get your plates and PWN you later.. That is, if they get close enough to see your plates.
Yeah to clarify the story he told me;
He lives in PA now, just across the border. Route 80 turns into two lanes rather than 3 or 4 when you leave New Jersey and go into Pennsylvania. He was apparently racing a modified Honda back in Pennsylvania, and if I understood him correctly, it was through the Delaware water gap where there's a speed limit of 45-55mph depending on the congestion. Route 80 is normally 65mph but this is a "safe zone" that normally I can get away with doing 80mph+ in if there's no traffic because there's really no place for cops to sit and its so packed that they wouldn't even be able to pull out, if there was traffic and you were speeding.
Anyway, apparently a cop rolled up on them and he didn't realize it was a statey. He said he thought it was like a mustang or something that was looking for some business racing the other two. Cop wound up pulling over the honda and getting his information, while this guy in the TT threw it on cruise control @ 70mph and kept cruising hoping the cop wouldn't snag him since he was driving without a license. He didn't want to go to jail, since it would be his third offense and apparently he says that means jail time. He kept going and the trooper came up behind him, he said he got fairly close (If he was going to run, I have no idea why he even let the cop get close to him) and then he took off. He said that he did the 27 exits in New Jersey going 160mph the entire time and it went by in like 5 minutes. Said he's never been scared before like that, but there was no traffic going East bound back into Jersey at this time of night - i know there's not because I come home East bound on weekends all the time and its clean and clear. He said while the cop was slowing down going into the turns, he was accelerating in the TT and gaining distance - he said he hit no rev limiter/speed governer and just kept the thing tach'd. Apparently another state trooper tried to cut through the center median of grass and try to set up a road block/spike strips but he got stuck in the gas as this guy blew by him.
He doesn't know if tickets are going to show up at his Mom's house or not and he said his mom might even take the fall for him saying she sped or something retarded because now its hard to prove since they didn't actually catch him in the act. He lives at a different address in PA now so they'll never find him.
The guy seems to have a really mellow personality but was a club promoter and I guess he says, "I'm the craziest fucker you'll ever meet in your life."

B, yeah I tore apart a S4 in these hardcore twisties by my work.
Oh yeah and he was telling me the other night how he didn't think that his car would outrun a trooper with a police interceptor package but I told him that it would and that they're governed at 120 or 140mph in Jersey. He thinks my car is faster than his, but I know that my gearing and my governer will make me top out around 145mph.

I really have a bad feeling these insurance adjusters are going to show up, not knock on the door, just door the estimate. Perhaps completely miss the radiator and a/c condenser damage and the headlight damage and be on their merry way.
The damn dog is worthless and just keeps falling asleep on his back with his legs up in the air and head hanging off the couch. He barks whenever he's awake but fido is taking cat naps all day.
Bah I want a carbon fiber hood and hopefully an extra $600 estimate for the headlights that I have a spare set of downstairs, so I have parts money and don't have to even dip into the cash stash.
