So I just put on my new alternator and alternator cable. First time I've driven the stang in over 2 weeks. I'm turning left onto a road with a fire station on the right of me. After I turn, I hit it hard, and wind out 3rd, and get to about 100mph (40mph road, but there were no cars around). So I pull up to the next intersection and was gonna go straight to take my friend home, when he said the Advanced Auto Parts is open (needed brake fluid). So I kinda halfway get into the left turn lane all of the sudden (I did use my blinker at least), and turn left, when all of the sudden a cop flips on his lights/sirens. I don't even think anything of it, I couldn't see him anywhere, so I put my blinker on and pull into the left turn lane to pull into Advanced. Then my other friend with me is like, 'dude he's after you'. CRAP! So I pull in and park.
He asks me, "sir do you have mufflers on this car?".
ME: "yes sir."
HIM: "are you sure?"
ME: "Yes sir, you can look if you want to." (he doesn't)
HIM: "Don't you think you took off a little fast at that red light?"
ME: "Yes sir."
HIM: "Sir, I was standing in the fire station watching a movie with the guys where things are getting blown up, and we could hear you take off from the light, loud enough to wake the dead in Copperas Cove (next town over). It was so loud everybody jumped and turned to see who it was."
ME: (I took that as a compliment really, lol). "Sorry sir."
Here's what I was doing illegal.
1) Exhibition of acceleration.
2) Reckless driving.
3) Speeding (more than double the limit)
4) Failure to make a proper lane change)
5) Expired inspection (been out since September)
6) Expired insurance
7) Exhaust too loud.
Long story short, he didn't catch me speeding, and he didn't give me tickets for anything except the exhaust. He gave me a citation for that. I was really thankful he didn't know how fast I was going, otherwise I'd be in jail right now!!
