Okay,

So I am on my way to the Detroit Auto Show and there is a ton of snow on the side streets. Traffic gets way backed up on the interstate so I hope off and begin going through the side streets. Snow plows have not come through and the snow is 8 inches deep. Well I am doing my best impression of Colin McRae in the Scooby and I come upon some lady white knuckled going about 5 mph. So I pass her on the right and I am drifting the sucker sideways and up comes a stop sign. I hit the binders and slide sideways to a stop. Lo and behold who is at the intersection watching all this?? The boys in blue!

The cop motions for me to go and I motion for him to go. The cop again motions for me to go so I do and sure enough he turns right behind me and pulls me over.

"Do you know why I pulled you over?" I said "No". He says "When there is inclement weather and you are passing people and sliding sideways that could be considered reckless driving. License, registration and insurance please."

I am thinking you know this is a really bad year for me I don't really want to put on the custom bracelets again! Cop says "How is your driving record?" I say "Not bad I don't think I have many points (true)". He says "When was the last time you had a ticket" I said "It has been awhile (true remember I never got a ticket in Texas!) He says "In this car?" I said "No" He says "What car?" I say "Porsche 911 turbo". He says "You have nice taste in cars, slow it down." He then gives me my stuff back and I am free to go.

What a sweet cop!

BREAKING THE LAW, BREAKING THE LAW!

 

If he was a 6speeder he would have asked you for your autograph.

 

buddy, no offense but it sounds like you take pleasure out of breaking the law! personally, having a family full of law enforcement and playing a integral role in the police surgeon benevolent association in NY these stories are becoming redundant. also not a great influence on the large amount of younger "new drivers" on our board...

 

Guess moral of buddmans story is if you get pulled over and have good taste in cars they'll let you go free?! lol!!

 

Hmmmm......good thing you sent the beast to Arizona for the Winter to rest up......I guess the myth about red cars may be true. They draw too much attention from the men in blue.

 

I think the moral of the story is to always be polite and respectful of the LAW...

maybe you'll get lucky

 

I was doing about 70 last night on an empty road when a cop just comes flying up w/ it's lights on. He pulls to the side of me and gets on the loud speaker and tells me i'm lucky cause he just got a call. My heart stopped beating for a few seconds

 

Dr. Bill, I think you are giving to much credit to buddy for influencing "younger board members" to drive in a less than law abiding way. I think people who have Porsche's are more than capable of driving the way they choose to w/o undue influence from other board members...

Buddy, how is drifting in the snow with the Scooby??? Must be a blast!!!!

 

Buddy!! I dunno you but you ROX!!!

 

"I come upon some lady white knuckled so I passed her on the right". But YOU got to go the auto show!

I wonder if this lady was someone's mother, sister, daughter, wife? I also wonder in general about being passed by a drifting car in deep snow on the right?

Buddy, just my small point but running away from the law at high speed on an open day...hey you took a chance and it was only about you and not endangering others. So an amusing story and no harm done except to your driving record.

BUT on a city street with snow and others possibly around around? You don't get points from me on this one man. Sorry I don't know any of the current kiddie words like "ROX" or "SICK" to cap this story off with.

I think it's very funny to see people with $140K cars trying to talk "ghetto" whatever that is anyway.

 

There are ebonics dictionaries which cover many of the new ghetto words used in todays english language.

Amazon has one http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...glance&s=books

 

Its sad to say but they will catch up with you sooner or later, then it will be a big headache.

 

well said.

 

Man some of you guys get your panties in such a bunch. I did not do anything to endanger this lady. She was going way too slow for the conditions. I safely passed her and then continued playing in the snow.

LIGHTEN UP FRANCIS!

 

Yo, Budman. You a fan of Judas Priest?
I see you like "Stripes" as well.
Maybe your exploit here sounds worse than it was. Personally, I have seen someone going too slow being more of a danger than a speeder. It should be difficult for any of us to pass jugement without having been there. You do seem to have your fair share of misadventures though. Hopefully, they all turn out with no one or their cars being harmed and the worse thing is a few bucks in fines.
