having said that.....
--story from 2002
im driving my 93 Lebaron conv(hold your laughter) down ridge rd in brooklyn. when an E30 325i pulls up next to me at a light and gives me a rev, so i say wtf why not. light turns green and off we go. we're neck n neck till about 55 when i see a caprice on the other sid of the road. i think to myself well who still uses caprices and stay in it. all of a sudden i see lights flashing and get that familiar feeling........ OMG im going to jail. i turn down my friend marcy's street (she's in the passenger seat) and remember there is another purple lebaron in that development. so i go down another few streets untill i find it and park behind it on the street. (i dont know why i thought that this was a good idea) we then jump out of the car and cut through a few back yard to her street and make our way to her house trying to look inconspicous. as we are approaching the house we see a family of skunks near her front door and freeze. damn that sux....then our buddy in the caprice comes down the street. the lady policescout asks marcy for her name (shes a punkrock chick that i guess looks like a dude some times but i can confirm her feminism) after being satisfied with marcys answer she asks us why we are just standing infront of the house, we point out the skunks and she shines her spot light on then and they run off. she never asked me for my name or even agnowleged me , she just said carry on. i dodged a serious bullet that day.

--happened this summer..
ok so im on my way home in the 7 and i see a newer 3 series, i forget what initiated the run but we went at it. i get the jump on him and start pulling ahead. at about 100 he has closed the distance and at started to pass me. at 120 he is ahead of me and i see on the deck lid 335Xi.. OH snap! shouldn't he have pulled a lil harder than that. so at around 130 im closing on him again and am next to him.thats when we slowed down to civilized speeds again (traffic). i pulled next to him and gave him a nod and continued on, at that very moment on the other side of the highway we see a policescout go by who was none the wiser.
the only thing that i can think of that allowed me to keep up with him was that his car had to be an auto, couple that with awd and a bad driver and we have a slower car altogether.

--this one happened back in 05
the usual group headded out from 'the lot' in north olmstead to 'the spot' in down town cleveland. im in my 95 jetta behind my friend dave in hs civic. we stayed in the back of the pace because we are some of the slower cars and didnt want to get in the way. as usual we were pulling against each other. (our cars were very closly matched in terms of performance), id pull ahead them he would pull ahead, it would go on like that throughout the entire run. when we arived at the spot me and dave decide that on the way back we would race from a 40 roll to whenever one of us stopped accellerating (amatures). so on the trip back we both lead first. once we get away from the city and away from traffic we go for it. we were heading south on 71 and didnt realize that Lynedale was literally just around the bend (gives lots of tickets). as we go around the bend we were both at about 85mph when we see a cop sitting there. lights on atleast 100ft befor we even get to him OH SHIT!!! we both fly past him. i start slowing down first and figure if he gets one of us and the other one gets away it cant be proven as racing right ? so i figure ill take the hit for the team, as i stop he pulls up beside me rolls down his window and says "wait here!" and goes after dave....not good, as soon as hes out of sight i speed off and as im headding down the highway i see him on the side of the road behind dave. i go wizzing by, everyone is looking at me. after i get back to the lot i noticed no one else is there yet, so i figured i better go. just as im about to leave i see the rest of the guys pull in (i never realized how far ahead we got) my buddy mike said he saw dave on the side of the road waaaaaaaaaaaaaay past some cop the was stuck in the median between the north and south bound lanes shortly there after dave comes in and says every cop in the area is looking for me. i decide its best to skeedadlle, so i take the back roads home, which was a very long trip for me. as i pull into my neighborhood 2 police cars pull behind me. im thinking OMG im done it ends here so i procede as casually as i can. neither cop gave me a second glance because one went one way and the other went the other way. to this day i have heard nothing of this incident and have been pulled over for varous infraction and such (speeding stuff like that) and even renued my license .

these are all older storeis i posted on the other site for ohio.
iv been very fortunate to have stayed out of trouble over the years and i guess i have decided to quit while im ahead
