Default killed by a crown vic... wtf

Heading home this evening I was MMOB on the 125N at ~60MPH. Just had the car washed at the Exxon touchless (Hey, I at least spent the 8 dollars for the WORKS) and decided to give a short busrt of speed to help dry the car off, which is standard procedure for what the machine tells me is "The best wash money can buy."

I took the car quickly up to ~110 and immediately began reducing speed for the exit and I see it... A nice clean black Crown Victoria coming up on me from out of nowhere. He *must* have been modded to be catching me at the rate he was going. He did not slow down at ALL even though I had gotten back down to about 60mph and gets right on my ass...

Getting a better view of the car now, I can tell there has been a lot of aftermarket work done; custom paint, custom vinyl door stickers, aftermarket light fixtures... I wouldnt have been surprised if there was some advanced electronics/comms in the interior as well.

We pulled off the road and chatted a bit. He wasn't as cool as I was hoping he would be, and really didn't express much interest for the GTO either so I signed his paperwork and went on my way. clocked at only 92 I guess that's good. 2nd Crown Vic run-in since purchase.
