[QUOTE="Sn8kebitten, post: 15272029, member: 127590"] Several years ago when I was still in high school, a friend of mine was clocked doing 180mph at 3am in his built 300zxtt (it was his college project he built in auto tech class that he sunk a lot of time and money into) and he never stopped. Well he got away that night and hid the car at a friends for a week but as soon as he thought the coast was clear and picked the car up, a cop saw him, pulled him over, and arrested him. It turned out the original cop that clocked him just so happened to own a 300zx when he was younger so he immediately recognized the tail lights that night and therefore all of the local police knew what kind of car to look for. Crazy coincidence. They basically threw the book at my friend and gave him the ultimatum of either going to jail for two years, or letting them auction the car off and put him on probation for two years so of course he chose that. We don't hardly ever talk about it because when it happened, I was still just friends with the car people that eventually introduced me to him, but every once in awhile he talks about how much he misses it and all the years he went through with it. Rebuilding the engine (three times lol), bigger turbos, tuning, suspension, etc etc. All that sentimental value basically taken away because of one stupid decision. And he's one of the nicest, most proper dudes I've ever met so it sucks to see someone like that down over a car that they really loved. Basically what I'm getting at is that I use to do stupid stuff like that too but after knowing what happened to him, it's just not worth it to me anymore. And not only because of the legal side of it but because of how dangerous it is. I imagine if he had stopped like this guy in the Camaro did, maybe just maybe he would still have that car [/QUOTE]
