'My Buddy Al' (tm) & I used to cruise from one end to the other of the
Bay Area in his Starion Turbo. One night with no one around on the
freeway we were cruising along northbound at triple digit speeds, just
as easy as you please with wide open lanes afore and aft when we pass a
nondescript car two lanes over.

After a mile or so I turn to the driver and ask "Wasn't that a Highway
Patrol we just passed?" Came the reply "It was?" So he lifts from the go
fast pedal and darned if it wasn't another 5 miles (Five miles?, yeah.)
before the damn thing catches up to us, and duh- pulls us over.

Turns out the driver of the HP cruiser was a female trainee and she
handed over the ticket to sign citing '70 mph or more'. Says Al, "That
sounds like a nice round figure, gimmee".  8])

20/20 hindsight a few mins later as it dawned on us; a quick exit from
the freeway would have netted us a pass, but it turns out a better
memory than a narrow getaway would have.

Now that I'm damn near 40 I don't scream down the freeway much anymore,
plus the fact that the way aint free much- even at 3:00 am Sunday
morning. Ah well.
