Thank You OKC!

Now this is a thread that merits 10 pages!

My dad lives in Spain. On the same day we both got pulled over going 115 on our respective freeways (65 limit for me, 70something for him). Neither one of us got a ticket.

Back in the day, I was driving like hell to get to a liquor store, on a first date. No liquor sales past 8pm in Connecticut. Its five 'till. I blow a light and the lights come on. The cop tells me how surprised he is that anyone would run a light with a cop car behind them (I had no clue, focused on goings on out front!). I explain that its our first date and I'm trying to get her home before her mom's imposed curfew. The guy nods and smiles, tells me it must be pretty embarrasing to get pulled over with a girl in the car, and lets me go. Didnt make it to the store in time.

Back in the day still I'm driving a friend home in my dad's Mercedes E300, a serious sport sedan in its day IMHO. This guy is a real hot rodder and has no respect for German engineering. I back out of his driveway and do a massive brake stand burnout right in front of his house. I'm down the street admiring my huge smoke cloud when a cap car comes sailing through it, lights on. I have a case of beer in the back seat. I'm 17. Left right left right long way home and three hours to get my heart rate back down. The beer helped.
:lol:

Pulled over in Coppel - for tailgating a cop.

Almost arrested in Coppel for dragging a lawnmower behind a truck.

Detained at DFW for being in a restricted area. Released to my mom at 1am and had to show back up the next day to discuss it with the DFW police chief. My buddy showed up to that wearing a Moosehead beer t-shirt with the sleeves cut off - classy.


My dad would always say "I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at what you did." That confused me as a teenager.

This sounds like a good topic of conversation Saturday night at EC. The lawnmower story can only be properly told in person.

i don't know guys....... its hard to compare to getting a reckless driving ticket w/a 16,000 lb rig. and i did it in redneck hell to top it off. you guys underestimate how hard one has to drive for this to happen. :wink:

speaking of ECR.... plans for a party Sat night?

YeaH!
Lets get Wirtz shit faced.

And JB and GL and JP, and RL, and MM. Then maybe Team Jordan can get a podium on Sunday.

I have way too many stories...growing up in a small town has advantage and disadvantages when it comes to the law.

I have gotten away with a lot....but I have also been harrassed for nothing.


My worst ticket though came in the Dallas area.....95 in a 55 when 635 was 55mph limit. I was in my Triumph Tr7 that has a Ford 2.8 V6.

Luckily I slowed to that as I was coming over a hill. :shock:

I gotta ask but I bet it will be more entertaining if we wait till ECR.


I'd also like to see Wirtz shit-faced! :D

95 mph powerslide off Harvey onto TX Ave in the 96 Z28 with 4 in. heeled boots on, a case of beer in the back seat, and my best friend in the passenger seat screaming her head off. Turns out a cop witnessed it. When he asked if I knew why he had pulled me over, I told him I had a vague idea. Only time I've ever been DUI tested. I passed. No ticket or warning given and he was very nice. Best friend says the boots and the second skin jeans saved my ass. Sometimes it's good to be a chick. 8)

Also used to live in Keller. All the speed limits around my house were 25mph. Cops used to just shake their heads and wave when I went by in the SS. It's also good to be an attorney's wife. :wink:
