Just got pulled over...

I was on my way home, waiting at a stop light, when an older full size Chevy all jacked up pulls up next to me and revs his engine. I got all excited because I haven't been able to race anyone with my new 99 5 speed. So the light turns green and it is even off the line put i start pulling on him VERY quickly, once I hit second he is at my back bumper. By third he is 2 cars behind me, so it was pretty much over. Then I see flashing lights behind me and Im like Oh S#$!!! So I pull over, the cop asks me what that was all about, I play it honest and said I was being stupid. He comes back and Im all prepared for a monstrous ticket because of street racing. He said he was in a good mood and I seemed good enough that I dont need to be told what I did was wrong and illegal, he also said it was a nice car so he didn't want to see my insurance. He said he was sure I had it. I got off with a ticket for unnecessary acceleration. Nothing too big. The guy in the truck had to deal with a different cop though. I dont think he was so lucky. But it was my first kill with the Max

dam man, cops always say honesty is the best policy...if you tried to hide it up, things would have been a little more different...

You must have gotten pulled over by the same cop that got me years ago. I was in my wife's SHO on Thanksgiving, and was playing cat & mouse with a friend on the way to his house after dinner. The streets were empty, so I passed him, burning rubber for half a block. I slid through a corner, then looked back, and saw two sets of headlights behind me. Uh, Oh!. Then I saw the pretty colors.

The cop came to my window and asked me what I was doing, and if I had been drinking. I said " I was being stupid" and "I don't drink". He went back to his car with my licence, while I sat there thinking how much this was going to cost, and listening to my wife ***** me out. He came back, told me to stop being stupid, and walked away. I wished him a happy Thanksgiving too. My (now X) wife was STILL ****ed, and I didn't even get a ticket! Imagine that!

The moral is: If your being stupid, and get caught, admit it.

It might save you a ticket too. Yeah, right!
