I'm driving on 121 in Grapevine by the DFW Airport and I was going about 75 mph. I see two cars cutting in and out and gaining fast in the rear view mirror. They come by me really fast and it's a Camaro SS and a C-5. I think wow this will be fun, so I step on it and start to gain fast. I look in the rear view mirror to see blue lights about a 1/2 mile back. I think ok he is after them for racing not me, then I think wait he is going to pull over the first car he gets to. I also think he is calling ahead for more units now there are three of us. Now I'm passing both cars and I look down at my speed and I'm at 147. I cut off the highway as fast as I can. I see a car wash and pull in. I jump out and put a $1 in the machine and put soap all over the car. The C-5 had followed me off the exit but he gets pulled over in the gas station lot next door. I'm thinking oh shit this guy is going to give me up. I really don't think either one noticed me. Two more patrol cars show up and cart this guy away to jail. Me on the other hand spent $10 on car washes. I guess either I look to old or the soap was hiding my car really good. I was shaking like a little baby the hole time:shhh:

Your poor V!!! Those car washes are TERRIBLE on the car's finish. BTW, were you going that fast in traffic?:thepan:

 

[TXSilverV]

there was very little traffic! I know it was bad for the V but it saved me from a night in jail.

Good move!

I managed to park my car and go into a Drug Store when I went right past a CHP at 170+ through Diamond Bar California! Had to call my girl friend to come pick me up as the CHP was giving my car a rectal exam.

Close one....did they catch up with the SS?


Why is washing the car bad for the finish?
