Default Going to have to keep my car in the garage for the next few days.

I was cruising down the highway running about 130ish coming around a slight bend and there he was, a county sheriff parked in a speed trap area. Pretty sure he was just killing time because my Valentine 1 didn't so much as make a peep. I don't know if you guys have encountered similar situations but for me I get that adrenaline burn andafeeling like you're falling when **** like this happens. Anyway, I go zipping past him and just push that pedal to the floor to put as much distance between him and me as possible. I kept looking but never even saw him begin to come after me. Don't know if he even bothered to try but man, what a day. I think I'll be keeping my car out of site except when absolutely necessary for the next week or so.

Personally I wouldn't worry about it. He didn't come after you and he didn't show up to your house so he doesn't know who it would be. Without him getting a plate number he don't have anything on you. However if you're like me and everyone knows your car in the county and you know the cops personally I would just obey the speed limit for awhile and they'll leave ya alone. After I got called in for street racing I had a county and a state boy follow me for around seven miles...they wouldnt pass no matter how slow i went even in passing zones...the whole time my radar is going off but they didn't pull me over because they didn't have a reason. Even tho the county boy just told me to quit racing haha....but i wouldn't worry about it too much man you should be alright :-)

Hahaha. I feel you with that adrenaline rush. I always speed up if there is a cop going the opposite way and I'm speeding. I have a radar detector but don't use it because its not a V1. I love those things though. My brother has one and so does my dad. As for your case I would leave my car in the garage for a while. Although Nomadic does make a good point, if it were me, I would leave it at home for a while just to be on the safe side.

everyone does have a good point. I especally agree with Nomadic too. I live in a very small county and everyone knows my car and my truck so that is not good for me. that is kinda why my car is sittin in the garage now. lol
