Burned a Ricer...
Wife and I were driving our 69 502 to a Corvette show Sunday on hwy 67 (Two lane...speed limit 55 mph....and recently highly enforced by the Calif CHP....)
The Honda Civic was right on my rear,so I told my wife I'm going to rattle his cage and hopefully set him up for a speeding ticket......so I slowed down gradually to about 50 mph...then where the lanes split from one to two lanes...I moved over,and he blew by me doing about 70 mph....within two minutes,a Calif Highway Patrol unit passed me and later we seen that ricer pulled over by the CHP...I wanted to honk my horn as I went by,but wife did not think that was a good idea...
Made my day...!!!!

I knew the CHP have been putting a radar unit near the lane split...hiding off the highway...so it was just by chance the unit was there...(I did not see him).....it took some patience on my part to resist just sucking the ricer up one tail pipe,and blowiing him out the other 
....good thing my wife was along....or...???

I've set up a few jerks that same way. I know a couple places that are very likely to have a speed trap. One time some dude wouldn't stop tailgating, so I slowed down to a pace that really had him steaming. When the extra lanes appeared, he took off, rounded the corner and was pulled over. I waved as I passed.
