Reminds me of the trip to Indy just before the IL-IN border. Strange antennas on the dash. Anyone know what the suction-cupped things are on the top of the windshield?

Ignoring the fact this guy was an idiot running at the speed he was on a public highway in the 1st place ... how did he know there wasn't a "bear in the air" keeping tabs on him? Or there weren't unmarked cars layin' in wait?
Here in my area, they'd have been in bumper to bumper traffic from the get-go and only kudda been ticketed for 72 in a 70 zone - if they'd have even been able to go THAT fast.
But regardless, this kinda stuff is stoopid. As has been said time and time again: at those speeds, all it'd take is ONE yo-yo changin' lanes w/o lookin' or signaling ... or ONE vehicle blowing a tire... or any one of a hundred other things happening and a LOTTA people could have their lives ruined in a heartbeat. And for WHAT?
...I'm sure glad I'm perfeckt.

Depending on what radar detector they we're using, I heard one go off, the may have been laser shifters. I have seen those used with the integrated Passport systems. I can't believe they had the radio just thrown on the dash like that.

Driver appeared too relaxed to be running from the law, unless he does it all the time, but that business on the shoulders and the heavy traffic leave just 2 words to describe the driver - MO RON :frown

I know it's unsafe, stupid, and dangerous as all get out. But how many times did you watch the video? I watched it about three times. I don't think it's fake. If it is they faked me out. Would I do it, no. Look at my avatar.

I agree 100% with the latter...especially if they're in the LEFT LANE. :mad
I agree with the former only where the subject individual makes the rest of traffic looks like it's PARKED. Logic and common sense has to rule here. ('Have NO pblm with someone doing "5 over" just about ANYWHERE for instance..."10-15 over" either in some cases [depending on the road/traffic/location]. But, this business of doing 100-110-130-140 or more on a freeway - especially in traffic - is just plain nuts.)
I'll give it a rest now...

Like its been said, you cant out run that radio.
Where i live out on the tip of cape cod,there is no way to hide.Ive got so pull
with home town pd.Sometimes on certain days when for some reason the road
is shut down to traffic.The long straight that leads to my house ,i get to get
home just to get the road clear for some reason. So the faster i get off the road is better dont want to hold up work or what ever the they have to do.

To me it's like those idiots that film themselfs robbing a house then show the tape to there friends and they end up going to jail from the tape they made themselfs. I guess it's a good thing you never see there faces in the video, or a tag number.
Another FGT for sale?
In most states, when caught, this action will result in impounding, then assumption of the vehicle title by the enforcement agency. The officer in the picture below (infraction, "no rear license plate") told me of a GT that fled the CHP's across the Mojave Desert at ~190 mph. They did NOT give chase as it would present too much danger to the public. They radioed ahead, and the Nevada Patrol stopped it about 10 miles past the border. Jail Time, Loss of Vehicle, Loss of License, and heavy fine. :ack
However, it did allow a saner driver to purchase the car when the vehicle was sold....

PS - On a lighter note, the local police in my small community occasionally pull up next to me and, with their passenger window down, look over and ask "Pinks?" My answer is always -"What would I do with a Police car?"
