OMG I wish I could get a way with this?

MERCER ISLAND, Wash. -- We're sure State Patrol troopers get a lot of excuses for speeding, but "I'm hurrying home to bid on an eBay auction"?

That was apparently the reason a 46-year-old Fall City man was going over 100 mph on the I-90 floating bridge Monday evening.

It was around 9:20 p.m. when a trooper saw James Garrett's VW R-32 going at a very high rate of speed while passing other drivers in the eastbound express lanes of I-90 in the Mount Baker Tunnel, according to Trooper Dan McDonald with the Washington State Patrol.

The trooper was able to clock Garrett at 100 mph, and then got a second reading of 110 mph as he chased after him, McDonald said.

The driver then exited the freeway at Mercer Island and pulled over. After he was arrested, Garrett told the trooper he was late placing a bid on eBay, McDonald said.

Garrett was booked into the King County Jail for investigation of reckless driving, and his car was impounded. McDonald said Garret has several criminal convictions for driving-related offenses.

No word yet on what he was trying to bid on.
