WTF? I got to check this thread for updates? We want separate threads. "Update Day One", "Update Day Two", ...
Chris, Take the bra off if you're going to drive fast. No matter how tight it is the aerodynamics will suck it away from the car. More tape. The escort won't help if you're out there by yourself and they use instant on. Maybe supplement with a handheld CB and programmable bearcat scanner for the trip back. You can get all the state patrol frequencies for each state off the web. hahaha. Good luck and more pics.
WTF? 141 and you got off with nada. Focker!!!! I am soooo taking you to buy me some lottery tickets. Then Vegas......after the winning to the boobie bars!
Great update Chris, thanx! Damn though, The Max just posted he got away with 140 and no ticket the other day too!! You guys need to go buy some lotto tix NOW!! Probably helped A LOT Chris that you pulled over right away and were just waiting for him, I'm sure he liked that but still ... you lucky bastard!! Hey guys, isn't it somewhere in Utah or Wyoming or somewhere out there that there's no speed limit?? I thought I heard that. Maybe take that route home Chris and hit the 180 club!! Like Dave said, that bra will kill your speed, take it off if you plan on any more high speed runs. And about the Passport, again like Dave said if you're the only car out there (or the first) and they got instant-on there's nothing you can do about it. HOWEVER ... I will say I've heard that Passports have problems picking up radar over hills where the V1s don't. Not wanting to start a war or anything, just wanted to let you know what I've heard. Keep the updates coming, I feel like I'm living vicariously through you, lol! BTW, you linking up with Ron for the final leg out the Irvine, maybe he's got room on his trailer for your car too, lol!! Have fun bro and be safe (and no more cheap hotels no matter HOW much Stevo begs you to go to them, hahahahhaaa!)
i thought about doing seperate threads, but got lazy!!!! probably why this thread has not had as many views!!! hahahahaha yeah, i have a feeling the tape will be what i use to go to irvine and back to phx. for the main trip home from phx, i will put the bra back on with lots of tape underneath!!! i was very surprised how well the car looked after detailing it yesterday. hardly any chips, or dings!!! woo-hoo!!! sounds good to me!!! hehehehehe i will be doing the speed limit for sure going through texas on my way home!!! hahahaha as for the cheap motels, i think i will stay away from them on the way home as well. i scoped out some better places to stop on the way out, for my trip back home!!! btw - ron is already in cali. i am meeting him tomorrow after i get in to go to his detail hook up!!
haha, chris you lucky sob. i knew enough not to mess around in TX. i was pretty legal the whole way through except for the watching movies thing. lol
Way to go Chris! We expect full photos of the EQ debauchery in the evening unless they're all just talk lol.
awesome chris! how come i never run into the cops that are actually interested in the car and not the ticket!?!?
Nice trip and great times. It is always good to see there are some "understanding" officers. Hope all goes well on the finish. See you at the SpringFling. Take Care
not to take over your thread but was heading home the other day on a pretty busy 2-lane highway and was doin about 85 in a 55 just for the hell of it, when i looked up and there was a state trooper comin at me, i said ohh shit and hit the brakes pretty hard, looked down and was doin 60 the trooper flipped his lights on and then off and waved at me as i drove by, wow did i catch a break, seeing as i am going to court in a month to fight a right on red ticket.
That was certain roads (Interstates?) in Montana and I think it has since gone away. Right on Chris! Remember, for every Trooper that cuts you that much slack there is his/her opposite that can't wait to take a brother to the pokey! There is no defeating instant on radars if the dude running it is stingy with his 24.15GHz emissions Can't wait to hear about the rest of your trip!!!!
Great to meet you Chris! Have a safe trip back home.... oh, and make sure you take this crappy weather back with you! Lol! Your car looks sweet Brudda!
BUMP!! Been a month now Chris, where's the whole story?? Hey, at least log a final post here to give all of us who were following your every step with such hightened anticipation and longing (meaning those of us with no life, like me!) some closure.
You know it's been so long now I almost don't care anymore ... ALMOST!! COME ON CHRISSY!!! FINISH THE STORY!!!! Please.
