Cops score a double
Near where I live there is a speedtrap. That is to say, there are almost always radar cops there. I have learned to obey the speed limit when driving this four blocks or so stretch. Today, as I'm driving thru, there are two cars pulled over and getting ticketed. Two Dodge Challengers. I suspect they have been doing a little street racing.
I shouldn't admit this, but in my youth, when I was driving Alfas, I used to suck guys into that trap, particulary Porsches. There's a stoplight that is downhill from the trap. I used to rev up the engine when stopped next to another sports car, and punch the gas when the light turned green. When I got near the top of the hill I would slam on the brakes as my opponent went flying by into the arms of the cops. Childish, but fun.
