Not lamborghini related, but I got pulled over in my sc300 on 394, in high school. I was doing about 135 when I passed him, and afterwords thought that I should have kept going. I took it to court and got it brought down quite a bit but it still cost me a lot in the long run.
A 17yr old with a little bit of power is a bad combination.

EX's Wife's Big Mouth
Traveling through Illinois about 20 years ago in my trusty 84 T-bird when I was pulled over for no apparent reason.
The officer states that there has been a robbery in the area and my car matches the description. The plates on the car were just bolted on from my other car and I had no registration on me. The cop start's to ask me about the plates and such. I real off some story and my ex leans over and says to me LOUDLY "Don't lie to him". Soon after I had a nice stack of tickets.
If ever some one needed a ***** Slap...

Racing down Westheimer in Houston out past hwy 6 heading towards Katy.
I got on it just past the mall racing another mustang and we passed a cop at the gas station, I saw his lights come on but we were already over 140 so figured there was no chance. The other car pulled off and hit the neighborhood while I kept my foot in it knowing the road pretty well. I was pulling RPM slowly in 5th and the car was starting to make noises haha. I could see a good distance ahead and saw the red and blues forming ahead, knowing it was bad I kicked the car into neutral and slowed. I was now facing 3 cop cars and cops with guns drawn (sweat) and waited for a few min till the line of cop cars from behind arrived. I got out my license and held it out of the window, this game them a way to remove me from the car. I lay there on the ground in cuffs and look over to see a bunch of cars going by, the 200 or so cars that were parked where we met on Fri and Sat nights rolled by and cheered. I went to jail for 3 days, charged with Felony reckless driving, felony evading, endangering a minor (passenger was 17) speeding, illegal lane change, ect. It was the highest recorded ticket in Texas at the time and made a few papers.

The cop asked why I didnt stop when I saw him, I denied it. It was a Constable and his radar gun only went to 118 and I had passed a DPS unit with laser which showed the 172mph. They asked if they could drive the car to impound and I was laughing the whole time, they really do not like you to laugh when you are cuffed. It was not much talk, it was more cuff and get me in the car with my friend and wait for the tow truck to arrive. The officer who arrested me pulled me over the following weekend asking if going to jail was fun and that he would pull me over everytime he saw me, he was no lying. I stayed under the radar with them till I moved away. When I got the car from impound they had taken the gas tank out, removed the seats, ect... thought I must have been running drugs.

178 in a 55, when I was 18 riding a superbike, went straight to county look up where I spent 3 nights because I was not calling my parents to bail me out and I did not want to throw away 1k to get out because I knew my wad was about to be blown on a lawyer.
Best story
Was driving the Gallardo when my local Audi dealer called me to tell me they had a V10 R8 that I could drive for a bit to see if I liked it. After 10 mins I realized It was not as fun as my Gallardo and returned it. A few of the service managers asked for rides and I was happy to do so. We past a cop at triple digit speeds and I immediately pulled over. The service advicer was about to come up with a bs story when I said I'll just take my ticket like a man. The cop said do you know why I pulled you over and I said I can take an educated guess. He said when you pulled off the highway you did not use your blinker. It was bring your son to work day, and the cop said if you let my son take some pics I'll be happy to over look it. I said your son can take drive the car LOL. After his son snapped a few camera phone pics the cop also mentioned that several cars had called in to say there was a yellow lamborghini doing 200 mph on US 19, so if I had another car he suggest I drive that for the rest of the day, which I did. To set the record straight we only saw 170 and the rode was completely empty overpass so no room for someone to enter the highway.

You are my hero
How long did take for them to catch up to you on the bike? I just got 131 on the 280, pretty cool, still pending. He didn't take me in though, was a nice cop surprisingly. I was the only car on the road I think that's why he was lenient, and somehow my valentine didn't pick him up until too late. Also gotten 126 coming down the Grapevine a few years back, he also didn't take me in, but I had other complications that time.

I got the car back, this was before all of the impound stuff came to be.
Bail was set at 100k since it was multiple felony's and Harris, Co Texas loves money. My friends hired a lawyer and they got me out for 3k and I had to sign my life away saying if I ran they would put me in jail for one year. I hired a very pretty blonde lawyer and she worked her magic, they wanted 30 days in jail but plead it down to 120hrs community service, 2k in fines, and that if I received a ticket in the next year I went straight to jail for the 30 days no questions asked. I also had to take a monthly pee test even though there were no drugs are alcohol involved and I was under 21. I did my community service, paid my fines, went back to the judge and asked if I could move haha I have never lived back in the state of Texas since.

Hey ther! haha i was the porsche who you got pulled over next to on the way to mfest!
Very fun time!
Here's my story: Got pulled over doing donuts in a police parking lot when i was 16, in a bmw 3 series which i had only had for 3 weeks
Didnt know it was a police parking lot lol!
There was a white female cop and a black male cop(race does not matter what so ever, just stating it anyway)
The Male cop was very nice and was just trying to let me off the hook, however the female cop was a B*TCH! So rude, disrespectful, and not fair by any means.
After an hour of talking to the cops,getting myself and my car fully searched, pleading and trying to create some sympathy, they let me off! Well they did give me a ticket for having a minor in the car(for the first year of having a drivers license under the age of 18, you cannot have anyone under 25 in the car)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ Another story, about 2 months ago i was driving to my home with 2 friends. I was in my porsche 997.1 turbo(stock exhaust at the time)
I cross a major street(sunset blvd), heading up a semi major residental street. I hit the gas and hit about 120. There was a small turn and a red light right after. I go around the turn and stop at the light. When the light turned green i start driving slowly off the line, next thing i know i see a cop car without sirens on the car behind me.
I realized he's seen my rear plate so i must pull over...He comes to my car and says
Him-"whats the rush?"
Me-"hey officer.....I'm sorry....Im just sorry...."
Him-"where are you going?"
Me-"just going up to my house which is right up this block"
him-"where are you coming from?"
Me- "my friends and i were jsut getting some drinks at Aroma Cafe on Sunset"
He then looked at me in a really bad way and i realized i just said something in a terrible way
Me-"wait officer, i meant drinks as in coffee and tea, no alcohol!"
Him-He chuckled and asks for my license and registration then after looking at it for 30 seconds. he goes "slow down" and leaves. haha so happy

Wheel studio! Sorry I didn't warn you about the cop, let me tell you what happened. So I pulled over on the side of the freeway to pee, then everyone from Mfest passed me. Therefore I decided I need to catchup, so I started flying down the freeway, and on that big freeway switching ramp I passed you guys going around 150 or so. Then my Ka band starts going off on my valentine 1, so I quickly slowdown after the ramp. Next thing I know I look in my rearview and see you on my *** and pulling up next to me. Then the cop came behind you and you didn't see him since the visibility of the murci is so bad lol, so when you were giving my thumbsup I was trying to point behind you to show you the cop lol. Anyway I wish I could have given you a warning about the cop!

so i was driving from calagry to vancouver in an e39 m5, not mine but a very good friends who had flown back for work so i got to take the car and one of his friends back. just as we were going threw hope (yes i know i should have slowed down because anyone who knows that road knows that there will be an rcmp officer in the median waiting for you) going 140km limit is 110 and get lit up. the officer was standing in the median on the left side of the road me in the fast lane. he jumps out in traffic infront of me and points to his side of the road. a few choice words later i get the car stopped. my buddies friend who had be fairly quiet the entier trip piped up and said just take the ticket and give him a minute. i didnt understand what he meant but i see tickets as a tax on speeding so thats usualy my plan. the office was a *****...24 year old in an m5 that wasnt mine in the rain going 140=i hate you. so got the ticket for 26 over $198 or something then buddy in the passenger seat asks for the officers identification. he then gets out and goes to the trunk to get his ticket pad.....turns out he is a WCB inspector with the power to ticket people for unsafe work behavior. my ticket was 198 the 4 he wrote the cop were just shy of 700...no hi visibility vest, entering the path of traffic unsafely and 2 others. i honeslty took 5 minutes to compose myself before continuing on home. the conversation got a lot better for the next 2 hours home.
Best. Story. Ever!
