I was on my way out on friday and i was sitting next to a mustang at a red light. it was 3 lanes, fairly quiet, we were in front. it was an opportunity to do a little 1st and 2nd gear run. nothing crazy. i looked over at him as i swtiched DTC off, hoping he would see me look, because my car doesnt neccessarily look like it is conducive to racing. his car is a fox body (87-93) mustang, it has weld rims and primer paint. sounds pretty good. we race off... hit about 50 or so, let off, all of a sudden i realize the car behind me is coming up on my ass really quick with, you guessed it, flashing blues. i was like "fuck me, this fucking sucks". he turns his lights off, cuts over two lanes and pulls the guy in the mustang over, who at this point is ahead of me, because i was slowing down to make a left onto the interstate anyway. well, i pass by, cop didnt even give me a second look, but you can bet the guy in the mustang was staring me down bigtime. oh well.
i thought it was slightly humorous, although i feel a little bad for the other guy. wanted to share

Thats really funny!
A similar story just happened with me about 2 weeks ago. I was driving past firethorn (rich country club neighborhood) and a audi a6 pulled out behind me and i could see him floor it and catch up to me. I was driving the speed limit and not in a hurry at all. We both took a right off the single lane street to get onto a 2 lane street. He bounced out from behind me and pulled up on my side. Looked over at me and gave me a look. I just waved him away because it was early and i didnt want to be bothered. He floors it and pulls away fast. He gets about 6 cars ahead of me and i see red and blue's pop on!! Cop coming down the other side of the street flipped a uturn and chased him down. As im driving by i rolled my sunroof back and gave the audi driver a proper golf clap! Im sure he was kicking himself in the ass...
pretty funny stuff.

Don't assume, he said NOTHING about the lawyer being a female!! Not that there's anything WRONG with that!!
Not that there's anything WRONG with that!! Usually it isnt the lawyer that gets you off based on what they can say in court. it is their knowledge and ability to research, usually, lawyers that go to traffic court do it on the side for a few extra bucks, and your $150 isnt their bread and butter for example, my ticket got dismissed because the paper work hadnt been submitted in a certain amount of time. he is a personal injury lawyer i believe
