Can't beat it but I was on the New Jersey Turnpike in 1990 doing the speed limit in the two car only lanes. I was driving a Honda Civic DX. Never drove it above 80 or so but it handled great and got 31 mpg around town and 35 on the highway.

This young gal in a blue Jaguar blows past me at about 85. To my right, in the 3 car-bus-truck lanes, I see a State Trooper (I hear these NJ State Troopers are really nasty) driving an unmarked Chevy Impalla.

He zigs over to our set of lanes and shoots out past me. About 3 miles later, he has the Jaguar pulled over and the driver and passenger have their hands up with one of the driver's arms sticking out the window. Oh well, I thought.

"but I was on the New Jersey Turnpike ...(I hear these NJ State Troopers are really nasty)..."

What is it with the Northeast that they have all of these toll roads and nasty, mean cops? My theory is that unchecked socialism has lead to a police state. For example,

I was on another toll road, the Mass. Turnpike, going to Ft. Devens one day in my beloved Saab turbo. As i intended to speed, i added my trusty radar detector and CB radio. I heard the truckers refer to me as bear bait, lol.

Lo and behold, I pass a Mass state trooper (lol, if you've ever been to Mass. you'll know that these guys are the epitome of Jack Booted Thugs-they make the Nazi SS look like faries, with the jodpuhrs, riding boots, sam brown belt, etc) who apparently was clocking me, though my radar never went off. Sure enough, about two miles down the road, a Mass. JBT is out standing next to his cruiser, waving me over to join a line of about 10 other speeders.

Folks, this is the mentality in the People's Republic of Massachussets. The cops expect you to just pull over like any of the other sheep.

At this point, I decided if you are going to get me, you'll have to earn it. I pulled away, accelerated and really moved out. Took the next exit, and began escape and evasion procedures. They never got me. I'll be damned if they think they can pull me over like some sheep that lives there lol.

Course i'm older and smarter now.
