A Little Vette Humor....
A fellow bought a new Corvette and was out on an interstate for a nice evening drive. The top was down, the breeze was blowing through what was left of his hair, and he decided to open her up. As the needle jumped up to 80 mph he suddenly saw a flashing red and blue light behind him.
"There ain't no way they can catch my C5," he thought to himself and so he opened her up further. The needle quickly surged past 90, 100, 130 and finally 150 with the lights still behind him. "What the heck am I doing?" he finally thought and pulled over. The trooper came up to him, took his license without a word, and examined it and the car. "I've had a tough shift and this is my last pull over. I don't particularly feel like doing more paperwork, so if you can give me a good excuse for your speeding that I haven't heard before, you can go. "Welllll...last week my wife ran off with a cop," the man said, "and I was afraid he was trying to give her back. "Off you go," said the officer.

I think the mods. should lock this thread. Running from the cops is illegal (except for CA) and should never be encouraged. Shame. What's next, street racing, breaking traction, uncontrolled oversteer. Wake up.
