Yeah, but if he had made it he would be legend.

But he didn't, and now he is viperless. Must suck to have tasted that much power, had it available on a daily basis, and then lose it.

Problem with running from the cops is manyfold. One, if they get your plate number it doesn't matter how far you run. Two, they have radios. Three, they might have helicopters.

Helicopters/Airplanes are very few and can't be in place when needed. Licence plates, despite having large cariactors, can't be read at a distance of over 50 yrds. Radio's, theres the biggest problem. You can't out run a radio, but it takes a while to setup a road block. If you know they are after you, you can get off the road and wait for the heat to go down.

Don't ask.

I hate when my dad says that.

It's so true.

But it sounds like such a good story!!!

I spent too much on my tires to risk spike strips

I knew a guy that wired a switch to shut off all his rear lights, including his license plate lights. He had a truck, so he would just go off road to lose anybody chasing him. This would only work at night, of course.

I just realized I am sounding like my dad as well. The horror!!!

WoW, this guy tried running from the cops with a viper and got caught hiding... I would have parked the car somewhere and walked somewhere else and pretended like nothing happened. (that's saying if they haven't got my plate number) Anywho, this story reminds me of this past summer when i was driving around arlington heights around 3 am and i was pretty bored and felt like driving fast, so when i stopped at a red light with a cop next to me... I smiled at him and revved to 9k. He rolled his window down and asked if it was "that rotor engine car" I said yes it is. Anyway long story short, he asked how fast it was and then i asked if he wanted to have a good ole race. So HAHA I raced a cop from a dig and won. It was very exciting and it got me a new cop friend. Since then i got pulled over in AH for speeding and it was him again and he just looked at me and said, "Oh hi again, don't drive that fast on this street cuz there's too many cops out." I said thank you and went on my merry way.

I'm perplexed. I don't know if I should say "Thats Cool" or "Bull ****". Good story anyway.

I'll call BS and say you've lost some credibility, but anyhoo... Mac, what do have that tow rope tied up to? I ask cause the front tow hook is on the passenger side in my car.

In the front there is a spot on passanger and driver side for the hook. You can put both hooks on the front (and attach a ram bar between them) if you were so inclined. There is only one spot for a hook in the rear.

And on the other end of the tow rope was an Audi A4.
