Last night after leaving the Hard Rock after watching the Miami Heat win I had an encounter with a Lexus GS300. I was minding my own business going about 45-50mph and this GS300 pops up next to me. I got kind of annoyed because I speed up a little and he sped with me. So I slow down to 40mph we look at each other and we knew it was on. We start from 40mph and I had him a fender all the way (about 2 1/2 blocks). The dude said that he has an intake and exhaust. And when I was about to tell him what I have in my car (all this happened while driving) my V1 went off like crazy. When I look up it was 4 cop cars . We were going about 70mph on a 45 zone. 2 cop cars followed me and 2 on the other dude. The lights go on and you know the drill. I got a ticket going 65mph on a 45mph zone.

The ticket is $205.50 but as always I get a lawyer. I'll call my lawyer after I get out of jury duty on Monday.

I never thought that my underpowered 2.6 6spd. and actually be right there with a GS300. Unless his car is not running right and I think theres a weight difference as well.

Just thought I would share this.

 

Good story, but you got to what those tickets. People berate the C240's, but they are adequate.

 

Just curious, why couldn't you slow down fast enough? was it radar or lidar?

 

Florida cops already know most people have radar detectors. Once they see incoming lights thats when they turn on their radar.
All 4 cop cars were hidden so while driving at night its hard to see them.

 

you should have asked to see the radar to see how fast they clocked you at.

 

nice kill...but i think you got lucky with just a ticket...in soCal where i live, if a cop see's any 2 cars speeding next to each other even if your not racing, they'll impound your car threaten you for racing and sometimes take your car away from you permanetly!!!
