Ok, about an hour ago, I was driving down I-85 here in Charlotte. I was headed back from my girlfriends house. Surprisingly there wasn't any traffic for several miles, being rush hour and all. All of a sudden, I see a bright orange dodge charger flying up from behind me. The windows are tinted so I cant see in, but the guy slows down in the lane beside of me, matching my speed. I was doing about 75mph. He punched it and scooted forward a bit, acting as if he wanted to race me...
..being the driver of the Aveo, overly confident as most of us are... I was happy to give him what he wanted. I floored it, slinking forward. He also gave his Charger some gas. We got up to a little over 100mph before we ran into some on-ramp traffic. But once we got past that, we gunned it again. He was about a car length ahead of me and still going... But slowed down when he saw me slipping off the freeway on my exit. He followed me off the exit and onto the main street. I pulled into a gas station to see if he'd follow me, which he did.
I stopped in one of the parking places as he all of a sudden turned on his fricken police lights. Strobes, siren and everything. He spun the car around and parked behind me. The door opens and I see a "SMOKEY THE BEAR" hat come out first. I was already out of the car leaning against the door... But... I swore, if I wasn't leaning against the side of the car, I would've probably collapsed.
The guy walks up, all decked out like a regular state-trooper should... I was scared sh!tless about what he had to say... Almost fainted on the line "Liscense, and registration please."
Well, we went through the whole process of him going and pulling up my information, came back out of the car. Well, he gives me my stuff back... and kinda smirks at me. "Bud, looks like you have one prior for speeding."
"Yes sir."
"Well, what do you think you deserve today?"
"Honestly?"
"Well, I can tell you what I want to give you, or YOU can tell me what you WANT me to give you."
"I want you to let me go without any charges, please officer."
My butt-kissery is working really well here.
"Well... I'm going to let you go with a warning. Next time you see me, dont try to race me. Thats my job."
So he wrote me a warning for Speeding. 100mph in a 70mph zone. He also told me the reason he even targeted me, was because he saw my chrome exhaust tip. But yeah... That really fricken sucked. Glad I didn't get anything on my liscense like I did when I was speeding before. I was going to take pictures but my digital camera died on me at my girlfriends house. But I'll see if I can find this guy again. He works I-85 a lot, with a few other State Troopers in unmarked Dodge Chargers.
