[CamaroSpike23]

1978 camaro, just put on new wheels on the back (15" instead of 14", and i didnt know it would mess with the speedo), 18 yrs old. had skull and crossbones decal on the back window that was made for suvs but since it was on my rear window at an angle you couldnt see thru the back glass worth a crap. cruisin down the highway at about 70 (or at least i thought so), flying by cars, i get to an open area and let into it and get up to about 90-95 for a few minutes then i hear something that i think is the motor/drive train, so i turn down the radio, and hear the siren. reach out and hold my single side mirror steady and i see a cop about a mile back, i slow down and pull over.

he asked me how fast i was going, i said 90. he laughed and said "yeah, when i first clocked you, when you started to slow down you were doing 126!" i told him i didnt believe him and i wanted to show him why. got out of the car, popped the hood, showed him my 292 inline-6 and my 3 spd manual.

we got to talkin for about 30 min or so about the car and i mention the new wheels. then it dawns on us what happened. we kinda laughed about it for a bit, then he told me, well, i have to give you a ticket for something. and being a good sport about it, he gave me a 90 in a 65. then proceeded to tell me that if i hadnt slowed down when i did, he was going to have a road block setup down the road cus he wasnt gainin on me.
