Had the pleasure of coasting along 90 thru Ohio in my 2003 Marauder the other day with a nice older white Caprice classic taking the lead on copwatch as we coasted along cruising between 65 and 105 depending on conditions..
I have to commend the driver of the Caprice for being quite sensible with his speeding, just dropping the speed down with plenty of room to spare when coming up behind someone instead of slamming on the brakes at the last minute like most of the SUV drivers out there do.. Those SUV's dont keep up much past 90, and it's nice to leave them safely behind.
Anyways I had a blast cruising behind this caprice as we looked like a pair of cop cars barreling down the road..
I had to laugh though when we both turned a corner (I was in center lane) and came across a cop just turning his car around, both of us hit the brakes and dropped from 95 to 65 in a heartbeat, then sheepishly the caprice pulled into the middle lane in front of me and the cop pulled out behind me, started gaining on me turns the lights on.. *that heavy sinking feeling you get when your insurance is about to jump 15%* , then I saw four people pushing a car down the hard shoulder on the right and the cop pulled over to help them..
Foots to the floor, last one to 100's a ****y...

Next story..
Guy in a newer Grand Prix is weaving in and outta traffic as I'm going down this 2 lane road, and the guy's over revving left right and center, chirping his wheels and just generally being annoying and dangerous just to gain a few feet between the lights.. Anyways, luck has it and I end up next to the lights with him.. his license plate is Fast GTP.. but I'd gone up against grand prix's before and not come off too badly.. So what the hell eh.. he's not expecting me to race him, so when the light turns green I stomp it down... Not even a squeak from the tires, and I'm off and running, he's left in the dust, obviously he recovers from the surprise and I hear his wheels squeal as he shoots past me as I hit 40 (with my foot still to the floor), and I'm left pulling over behind him explaining to my kids, "Hey I tried..." :)
3rd story... and last one...
Hammering down a back road doing 75 in a 55, stupid, but I was in a hurry, cop coming other way swings it round comes n gets me..
He notices its a marauder, and lets me go cos "he's got somewhere else to be just now anyways"
Sweet....
2 weeks later cruising down freeway 80 in 65, the same freakin cop pulls me over.. doesnt recognize me again, but he remembered the marauder..
"fool me once shame on you., fool me twice shame on me"
even tried name dropping my state trooper mates and local cops names, but damn, there was no way I was gettin out of that one....
