LOL unfortunately I have seen those lights a few too many times...
Around about 79 I was going home on Interstate 94 from Bismarck ND to Mandan ND; there is a part where you come down a long hill that goes over the Missouri river where it curves slightly right, but just before this hill there is like a 3-5 mile straight flat stretch. I was driving my 74 Challenger with a 70 440 6 pack, AT and 3.23 gears; feeling froggy I was in it and hit the point where it began down hill doing about 125. Just as I hit this point and began down hill, there was a state trooper sitting on the side where he could catch people doing exactly what I was doing. He hit the lights and I hit the gas, when I got to the bottom of the hill I looked down and the speedo was coming off 145; I looked back and much to my amazement no cop. It was then that I began to wonder when the last time I checked the lugs and without the cop, I came off the gas and slowed to around the speed limit. About 2 days later while at work which was on main street of Bismarck at an exhaust shop, I hear this voice from behind me say "who owns that orange Challenger parked out front"? I turned and there was a state trooper. I responded with; "it might be mine" and he said "where you hauling ass down 94 about 2 nights ago"... I said that "maybe"... he responded by saying that since he didn't get a license plate there wasn't anything he could do now but wanted to know what the hell was in that thing. We went out and I showed him the engine and we talked cars for a minute. As he left he said "catch ya later"... 1 week later, same place doing 10 over, there he was... I pulled over immediately. He laughed and gave me a ticket for 7 over...
Good times...
