I met some interesting 535 drivers today. A white 535 with limo tint chased me around (Too bad I was in my TL) then he took off....he must have hit 140 (dangerous on a public road). On the way back same road a black 535 with limo tint chased me around (Why does my TL attract 535 LOL). Fun I just wish I was in my E60 lol.

I had to see the signature. http://www.globallethbridge.com/Vaug...185/story.html

I cannot see or even imagine how this is possible. Since when is a forum statement taken as a 'confession'? there is no proof whatsoever and for all anyone knows, it's just b.s. bragging. Unless they had him on camera and his bragging statement put the puzzle pieces together for authorities to actually accuse him due to his detailed description.......or unless they talked him into a confession. What a joke!

Who cares who is watching as this is all hypothetical anyway.
I've done 252 mph in my BMW on interstate 10 in Detroit Michigan on june 2, 2007 at a 3.52a.m. Please msg me if you are law enforcement and need my name and address!

Think through it, if I said that I drove over 100 on an US highway every weekend when I drive from Chicago to Detroit, and there was an accident tomorrow in which someone accidentally got killed and I was involved, would you believe me if I said I was not speeding?

A lot of people think of speeding as an irresponsible addiction, although when you are the one driving, you can think speed at times and still do it responsibly and enjoy it.

It actually depends on the State. Here in Texas I can drive to the Police Station and file charges on a person for speeding, wreckless driving, flipping the bird, swearing in public and numerous other offenses. They will issue a citation if proven by video and or witnesses. I had a Camaro cut me off at 80, slam on the brakes right in front of me, then flip me the bird when I honked at him. I was on my bike and have a camera mounted in the headlight bucket. He was issued several citations.
