Yeah, you'd have to be crazy to "seriously" think about running from the cops in a viper. Thats a "serious" offense that only someone as mean spirited as a poodle hater would do.

ATX - Are you that new here that you don't remember my thread about running from the cops a few weeks back? I'm not worried though, I've since disguised the appearance of that car quite effectively.

I "seriously" would consider it if I had any other color. You would need "serious" balls to try something like that in a yellow Viper.
Once in 1994 - was in high school. Racing some guy on the highway in a BMW (me in Corvette). I didn't even see them coming - I floored it and put some space between us and did a u-turn on the highway. I actually made it home but I knew they were on their way to my house, so being young (18) and stupid, I called them and turned myself. What a dumbass! I ended up getting it dropped to speeding, because the only smart thing I did was not admit to evasion.
1998 or so.. on my R1. There is a long road near my house and I am riding a big-ass wheelie down it. As I am halfway down a cruiser crests the hill coming towards me and immediately flips on his lights. I know that neighborhood very well, so I just took a few turns, gradually heard the siren getting more and more faint, then parked the bike at home, jumped in my car and went to work.
1999 - heading to the drag strip. I had gotten pulled over in the Viper a week earlier doing 95 in a 65. So I'm going to the strip and a couple of us are "wicking it up" a little. Cop going the other way sees it, hits his lights and dives across the embankment. I do some quick cutting to get to the breakdown lane, floor it, and by the time he is on my side of the road I am almost out of sight. Kept my foot in it, crested a hill, took the next exit, then the next exit of that road, then the next exit again, crossed state line into NH and went to my bro's house.
2001 - on my new (then) R1.. we were on some group ride and we were all being hooligans. Went into some podunk little town and stopped for food after carving up this AMAZING road with lots of very fast (100+mph) sweepers. This town is DEAD and the lady tells us its the local fair and 99% of the populace is there. Ask about cops and she says there are only 2 in town, and one is there and the other is on vacation. So we cruised this road a few times, getting faster each time. Someone somewhere notified this cop because he showed up and gave chase. We all took off. He ended up catching one guy later at a gas station 2 towns over, but the rest of us got away. The dickhead that got busted ratted out everyone - but he only knew a couple of guys and I was not one of them. Ended up getting tossed out of court for those he ratted out anyway.
It is very tuff to do in a car with the police right behind you (probably impossible). I tried to do it once and there was no way I could get away so I pulled over and got my car searched. I have done it in a car when I was ahead of the cops by about 500 yards (had to drive though an alley and park in a busy King Sooper and hang out in the King Soopers for 45 minutes - pretty scary). I do know a friend of mine was able to do it on a bike and I have done it twice on foot (slow fucks). So Cal's number 3 up there is a good one, that takes big balls to slow down and then speed up again - wow that's crazy - I can't top that one.
#2-NYC 1979 same '78 Honda but had a I had suspended drivers license, 3am south on the Major Deagan at 70 or so (in a 55) cops come flying out of nowhere light a blazin'. I said shit I'm going in anyway might as well make a run. 120 mph they are right on me so I decide to give up before I kill myself, pull off the Van Cortland exit cop comes up to me and says "what are you crazy" I said officer I have a suspended license (before he called it in) and I didn't wanna go to jail. The cop wrote me a 95 mph ticket gave me a kick in my ass and told me to go home to momma.
I call BS on this one Ron!
The speed limit on the Major Deegan is 50! Lying bastage.
And don't get into too many details of Whitestone cause I'll call BS again. [img]/images/graemlins/supergrin.gif[/img]

[img]/images/graemlins/laughing.gif[/img] Bustin' you chops Ron! Even 50 MPH on the Deegan can get you killed with all the potholes and uneven metal decking. You're one crazy SOB!
Funny you guys talking about Whitestone. I ran from the cops twice back in the seventies, once in Whitestone along the highway that goes under the Whitestone Bridge, and the other time in Bayside on the Cross Island, losing them in Beachhurst. Both times were in a 1972 Buick GS Stage1.

Dated WAY too many Italian babes from Whitestone and Malba over the years. Can't remember how many times I was sent running for my life when I was caught by some boyfriend that his honey forgot to mention was in the picture.
Still a nice area with some beautiful houses left.
As a youth I used to look for speed traps to blast through in town then hide in a garage left open in an alley, worked great and never got caught in the half dozen times I did it. Once on my vmax I got hit by radar for 72 in a 65 by a trooper going the other way on a divided highway at night. I ran it up to 140 before he even got turned around and I was back in town in 2 minutes. I ended up getting stopped and ticketed 7 miles from the start of the chase. I defended myself in court, the trooper testified that he kept my tail light in view at all times after admiting to being over a mile behind me. He also testified that he observed me on a red 1986 Yamaha Vmax across a divided highway at night. The judge threw it out because the state had the burden of proof and I claimed he just stopped the first motorcycle he came up on. After the trial I told the officer that he should be careful about falsely accusing citizens, he was so pissed his neck turned red. I hope I don't run into him again.
