how bad have you been ??

Worst ticket I ever got was when I was out wheeling. Me and about 6 other vehicles were pulling over the top of a hill when the damn game and wildlife warden sat at the top in his bronco and waited for us to get there. We all got $65 fines for improper trail use.

haha... i win. pulled over going 170 in a 76 sting ray at about 4 in the afternoon down a two lane high way... didnt even see the cop and pulled us over at the gas station. they didnt even let us drive home. 90 day suspension and 220 fine. then once again my buddy and i were comming home from the races in his 69 camaro pushing about 650hp and there were these lights right on our ass so he threw it down and took off... then once again there are the lights.... we take of again... then all the sudden he flipped the lights on... but he got out of it... when the cop asked how he had such a nice car... he said it was his dads and he just died and his mom was real sick.... so he just let him off... the funny thing was the cop said riht when he came to the window was " looks like you won the race "
 






Thanks to the intervention of my father's legal team, only my most recent ticket is stilll on my liscence. But not for long. It was in my father's Intrepid, going 81 in a 65, and I got caught by the air patrol. $206 ticket for only 16mph over. Luckily it hadn't been a few miles earlier, when I was cruising at just over 100mph. I don't even wanna know what kind of fine that carries.
 






these replys are great, keep em' coming
 






Do you have pics of either the sting ray or the camaro?

I have the exact same camaro.....sorta
 






My personal fave...

that's not him. it's from a BMW
 






Worst I've done was 115 in my 1993 Accord on the interstate trying to catch up to some friends. I guess I could have had them slow down, but what's the fun in that? :D
 






when i was about 13 i was with my dad in his new toy shortly after his divorce, an 86 or 87ish porsche 944, and we got pulled over doing 139 on a highway to nowhere in nebraska. i mean, what was this cop doing on a road that we hadnt scene one other car on for the last 20 miles, hiding behind a an old barn on the side of the road. (methinks a little nap or some other sort of relaxing activity was going on) Then, my first truck, a 92 Chevy 2500 with a 454, at the age of 15 on my way home from school (school permit) i got clocked by the local sheriff's deputy doing 124 (yes, that was extremely scary and fun at the same time, that truck could move) on the same frickin highway. Luckily, that deputy was also my high school soccer coach, and i paid for it in practice that next spring.
 






me and my friend were doing right around 150 in a turbo'd 300zx and got passes by a trans-am. he was probably doing 170-175
 






80 in the 65 on the Jersey turnpike (I was only two miles from Delaware too, DAMMIT). The ticket got mailed out with the bills by itself, no envelope, no nothing and it took the Post Office two months to get it back to me....mailed in the payment, got it back a week later with a letter saying that my $88 ticket now had late fees, court fees, and that fines are doubled on the turnpike, for a grand total of $300 !! :eek:


Got yelled at for tresspassing once when I went night wheeling, too....

Still can't hold a candle to you guys though!

He just got caught up in the moment because all different threads create different attitudes. If some ricer came on here saying explorers are gay then we would feel anger to him. If the thread was about a funny story that people did(sort of like this) then that becomes funny and you want to hear worse things to top it not good(morally good) things.
 






Should we really be proud of the times we received awards for driving or should we be more proud of the times that we did not receive any rewards? Don't get me wrong I have my fair share of 30-50 MPH over the limits but it is the unknowns that I am proud of.

Chicago to Carbondale- '81 Audi 5000 floored out until the last overpass before Carbondale when I decided to throw it into Neutral and coast it down. My Escort's meter pinned as I came over the top of the bridge.

Numerous runs from Chicago to St. Louis- '82 Audi Coupe always floored out. One time I heard over the CB Southbound he is right in front of you. Hit the hooks just in time for the Escort to get pinned. I hate it when they don't leave the radar guns on.

Denver to the Illinois border- '87 Chevy Astro floored out as usual all night. Have to love Escorts, CB's and truckers. My mom and brothers flew home with a layover in Denver. I got home an hour after them. Mom was slightly confused, my brother was doing the math.

100 MPH+ in the 20 MPH streets of ISU Champaign/Urbana- '85 Honda V65 Sabre Well that is what happens when somebody on a Ninja1000 and a Suzuki 1100ES thinks they are faster than you. Had to correct their thinking.

165+ in a 55MPH- Same weekend. An old man wanted to run his Pantera and who was I to dissapoint him. The Speedo's pin hits at 165 and the tach just kept going. Never did find top end on that bike and now I not sure if I'm dumb enough to try.

130 MPH- 86 Porsche 944 Coming into an underpass with the Escort going off. 55 MPH out the other side.
