Every night at around 11pm or so I head out for a 45 minute long drive to put some miles on the Snake...been doing this for a while now. I just cruise, listen to some tunes and enjoy the car. Dallas area police (and everywhere else too I imagine) are going to great lengths to crack down on street racing - going so far as planting disguised "hot rods" (ranging from rice to tricked out pony cars) on the streets and trying to instigate. In addition, the unmarked car population has skyrocketed lately around here it seems. Plano and other areas around here have a "zero tolerance" rule - if you're caught street racing, you spend the night in jail. Beauty part is - if someone trys to race YOU and they believe that you were involved, whether you bit or not, they'll toss ya both in. Happens a lot around here.
Anyhow. Tonight, I'm followed by cops not once, but THREE times. Usually it happens about once a week and you just get used to altering your route on the fly so they have to go straight where you turn, etc.
The first guy just happened to fall in behind me and followed me for a bit. No harm done and it is a red Viper with white stripes...I can cut the guy some slack, just doing his job. He pulls off when he realizes I'm not doing 150mph.
10 minutes later, another cruiser flips an illegal u-turn to catch and follow me for a bit...I was certain he would pull me "just because". But he did the same thing and flipped around again to follow someone else when he too realized, GASP - I was doing the speed limit.
Really harshing my mellow, these guys.
Now mister high and mighty - the 3rd guy. I'm coming up behind him and spot him a mile away - he has just wrapped up a ticket and is pulling back out with his lights lit. Well, he spots the Viper in his rearview, STOPS cold (he was headed into a turn lane), throws it in reverse and backs up a bit and waits to see what lane I pull into. No ****. Of course, he follows me as I turn...I'm about 2 miles away from the house, turning onto one of the back roads leading there.
This guy follows me to my freaking DRIVEWAY for 2 miles. He would relax and fall back about 15 car lengths, then speed up RIGHT on my tail like he was going to pull me...I'm sure just having a good time with is partner : "Hey buddy, watch as I mess with this Vipah here...lookie here......hehe!...[******] that was fun...les do it again..."
The whole following me into my subdivision, into my alley, and right up to my driveway just blew my mind. I pull in, get out and stare at them as they drive on by...I just know they thought I was trying to lose them in the subdivision but good Lord...talk about annoying and [******] near harassing!
I swear I was this-close to just pulling over, throwing the hazards on, stepping out with my hands on my head and assuming the position on my hood just to get them to chill the F out.
What I love the most about tonight is now I fully expect this 3rd @sshole to "******" me around every night on my cruises...I love that they have nothing better to do.
I know, I know...it's a Viper.
(BTW - I meant to create this in Snake Pit Grill...pretty sure the mods will want to move it that direction)
