Do I have a story for you guys!!!
So I'm headin' over to campus tonight to do some dorm-stormin', and as I pull onto campus there's "Jetta John" as we call him in his riced-out box-style Jetta leaving... I flip a u-turn real quick as I know he's always good for a race and the box goes to kill. Takes me about 1/2 mile to catch him and I pull up next to him but he doesn't want to play... hmmmm, ok, fine by me. So, he pulls into a turn lane to turn left and the lights red. I stop a normal distance behind him, but after you make the turn there is a suicide lane (read: racing lane) for about 200 yards. I was planning on going into the right lane and blowing around him. So, light goes green and he rev's the ricer sky high and takes off around the corner. As I turn the corner and start to go for the right lane, he slams on his brakes and DIVES for the right lane HARD!! I had to yank back to the left as he basically stopped in the middle of the two lanes. Well, after I was sure I was clear, the smoke pedal went to the floor. As I spooled the right rear broke loose (still turning a slight left). I was well past him, but he still got a good smoke show and the loud rapping of the Cummins off his window. So, I'm still pedal through the fire-wall when I glance to my left and sure-as-I TRIED TO BY-PASS THE CUSSING FILTER, there's the boys in blue going the opposite direction, watching me and "Bullula" in all her glory smokin' out the town! So, the turbo got barked from 45 psi to idle and I put her in neutral and just coasted. The cop flipped a quick turn and the lights came on momentarily... I put on my blinker as I knew there was a road coming up on the right, and I was gonna pull over and just take my whippings... no reason to keep going when you know you're definitely in the wrong. So, as I slowly make my turn, Jetta boy goes by me a little, then STOPS in the middle of the road right in front of where I turned. The cops started to make the turn, then stopped and chatted with him for about 1 minute. I just slowly kept creaping up the road at about 2 MPH. At this point it'd been about 2 minutes since my little escapade and I glanced back at the intersection and you wouldn't believe the cloud of smoke that was hanging there!!! HAHAHA I couldn't see the stop lights through it!

Finally I sped up to about 15 MPH and found a place to pull over... I pulled over and let her idle down and shut my headlights off, but left the parking lights on. Finally the cops followed suit and pulled up behind me w/ the red and blues flashing. It took them literally 5 minutes to come to the window, as they flashed their lights through EVERY WINDOW IN MY CANOPY!!! Finally a female officer came up and the conversation went about like this... "What are you doing parked here?" "Well miss, I knew you were coming to talk to me, so I just pulled over for you. " "Oh? Well, you were going a little fast back there, weren't you? What's the deal with that?" "Yeah, I just had a bad day and am in a bad mood and was just being stupid. " "Well you scared the h*ll outta that kid in the Jetta back there. " "Yeah, I know, that was a bad move. " "Well, you got the license, blah, blah, blah... . I'll be right back. " So, we sit there another 10 minutes, and finally she comes back and the following conversation ensues... "So, here's what I'm gonna do... I'm gonna give you a written warning for speeding, but I'm gonna tell you, we've had A BUNCH of reports of this vehicle speeding lately and that could easily turn into wreckless driving or a ticket" (which to me means "We saw you sideways and what you did, but you knew you were in the wrong and stopped so I guess we'll let you off... stop being dumb!") Well, my first thought is, what sob is calling the cops on me for speeding? I haven't been driving stupid for about 2 months now! I asked "Who's been turning me in? When was I reported?" "We don't keep track of that, or else this probably would be a ticket, and it doesn't matter who turned you in. Now sign here. "
So, I took my penance and am going to spend the next 5 days minding my p's&q's while here at school. I know, not the bestest smoke story, but DAM you shoulda seen that cloud! BTW, "Jetta John" did make TWO trips by me while I was talking to the cops, and just 2 minutes ago he made a lap through my apartment complex and stopped by my pickup... I'm planning on having slashed tires at some point, so will leave the ones I have on now on till I have to change them to go home. He touches my pickup and I won't think twice about beating him senseless!
Have a great night folks... mine's off to a good start!

Oo.
