Funny story about pulling over and the other guy running....

My friend was racing in his m3, not sure who against but the cops saw and he pulled off and stoped his friend kept going. The cop told him to follow him and they both pursued the other guy. When the cop caught up to the one who ran he just told my friend to go...

And wrote every ticket he could think of to the other guy hahaha

On a side note i have never raced my car and do not plan on it unless its on a track. Car means too much to me to get it impounded or what not. besides its just too damn expensive. Have got a few bogus tickets myself but was able to get them dismissed.

This you first offense? look into getting the tickets differed if your state allows it and make sure you dont get into any more trouble in 6mos and they drop off.

yeah its my first one. how do i go about getting them differed? the other guy that went down with me talked to some of his good cop friends and they all said that they wouldnt have given us reckless driving because they didnt see us. all they had was a random van that saw us pull away. and he stopped and talked to the cops. but they also said we could get them lowered to careless driving or even drop by changing the first court date to a different day. and keep the story straight. haha.

This is an old post, but I just felt I had to reply to it... firstly, because Supra's are for the young at heart... (that accounts for the young people who make mistakes), secondly because some of you who read this may not understand... "the system".

First, let me say... its great that 16-19 year olds love the car, most even understand it, but in my experience... get a hyundai pony first. Beat that car up... you aint gonna go get a speeding ticket in it... lol. My first car was a '69 Chev Bel Air that I did amazing stunts with, ending up by totalling it off while doing off-road experimentation... (long story) Cost me 300.00 and was worth every penny!
Second... if you get a speeding ticket or stunting or w/e... fight it. Yeah, 80% of you wont win, but you will be amazed at what happens in court. Usually if your sincere in your description of what you are doing and explain that you have learned your lesson, the judge is sympathetic. (At least in Canada it works that way)
Plus.. the guy who ticketed you is now off the street, can't make his quota while waiting for your docket to come up, and sometimes doesn't even make it into court (here, that is instant win for you!).
Also, if your fines are big or your looking at a negative impact on your life, get a lawyer. Its not as expensive as you may think, and very very well worth it. (talk to O.J. about lawyers...) A good lawyer will talk down the fine, or even have them dismissed by explaining things better than you can. It's their job to make you seem angelic and get you off as much as possible. Plus.. they have kids to feed!!

I had a ticket for no insurance, no registration and no license once when I was raising my 2 girls as a single dad. I had no money and needed to get to work, and in my mind that was my only option (drive illegally). The fines were about 3500.00 in total plus 3 months in jail. (YIKES!) So, naturally I got a lawyer (best I could find) and borrowed the money to pay him. In the end, no prison sentence, 1020.00 in fines and the fines changed so that they wouldn't make it impossible for me to get insurance. Cost me 800.00 in lawyers fees. Worth it? Plus, I never had to show up in court once!

So.. just dont accept the fact you did something wrong. Yeah.. you probably did. But the fines aren't intended to ruin your life. They are there to prevent you from doing it. Learn the lesson, let them know you learned it.. and don't do it again.

You may have to ship it out to get it machined if you dont have anyone willing to locally. I could give you names, but they are quite a distance north of you over the border

117 in a 55 mph near Tacoma WA. I was driving a 90 accord EX coupe.
Fastest ticket in my VR-4 was only 76 in a 60, most of the time I just got warnings because I had just returned from Iraq, the one ticket was from someone who was a reservist.

None so far in the supra, or my neon, or my celica. However, i had the celica to 140 once (down a very steep hill), and I did a couple 360 degree spins one night in the VR-4 at over 120 mph. I forgot there was one bend in a road that was straight for miles. Kept it on the road, by luck or divine intervention. Coming back onto Ft. Lewis that night, all you could smell was burnt tire and brake.

I had a friend who bought an evo 8 when he returned from Iraq. Evo's had been his dream car for years. He almost sold it within a month because he got two 500 doller reckless driving tickets within a week. He drifted through the same intersection twice, got pulled over by the same cop, and went before the same judge. The judge let him off for the first one. He wasn't so lucky a week later.
