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.

Good thing. 100+ here is 2 points on your license for 10 years (worse than a DUI). License suspended for 2 years and over 500 dollar fine.
