Don't get me started on Staties.  Damn Mass-hole State Poopers.  Around
a year ago Xmas time, I was heading home from the company Xmas party.
Luckily, I didn't have anything to drink, as I wasn't feeling too well.
Some guy in a B5 //S4 thought he would blast by me in my 86 5kcstq, so I
decided to play.  We were the only 2 cars on the road, around 11 pm on a
Tues night.  Pretty remote 4-lane stretch of I95 north of Boston, not
far from the New Hampshire line.  We're having fun, blowing by each
other.  I finally decide that I'm pushing my luck and back down from
about 120 and go to tuck in behind the //S4.  Then suddenly, headlights
and blues flash on right in my blind spot.  The mutherf'in Pooper was
trailing us without any f'n lights on!  Now who's the one driving
dangerously here, I say?  The Pooper must've entered the highway at the
last interchange, seen us and turned off his lights.  I almost took him
and myself out.  Nice, huh?  Pulled us both over and tried his best to
get us to admit to racing.  F'n idiot.  Luckily, he only clocked me
doing, "90+ mph".  I told him there's no why this "20 year old car with
almost 200,000 miles could possibly go that fast!".  He wasn't buying
it.  $350 ticket.  Ouch...

F'n Ma$$ holes...

Well since Paul told his story, I have to tell mine.

Driving across a place called Rocky Flats on the front range, CO heading
north. Road is a mix of single lane w/ a couple of passing lanes on the
hills.

Hit the first one, after having some guy in the cheapest of cheap Dodge
hatchbacks on my ass, seriously, like a foot off off the bumper. Let him
pass, but then we hit the steep part of the hill and I'll be damned if
he can't push his rust bucket over 40mph up the sucker. Pisses me off,
because he's in such a damn hurry, so I pass him at 55 (the speed
limit).

Back down to one lane, no hill, and he's on my ass again! Bastard. Now
I'm really pissed, especially because his shitty car has nothing and
we're coming up to yet another next steep hill (w/ passing lane) and all
he's going to do is pass me so I have to then pass his rust bucket yet
again and then have him on my ass all the way to Boulder as the road is
single lane the rest of the way.

Hit the next hill and I'm like F**K you, buddy, you ain't got nothing.
Push it up to about 90, leaving him in the dust and just about to give
'er to, say 120mph or so, when I notice a sparkle of something metallic
behind the bushes up ahead, Uh oh, I know that THEY hide up there and
now I'm feeling like the stupid bastard.

It's a sheriff, thank God, they tend to be nicer.

Pulls me over about 2 miles down the road. Looks at my driver's license
and says, "well, since you are from Vail, I won't make you show up for
court down here in Golden." Sends me on my way with a lesser ticket for
10 mph over the limit (65 in a 55mph, IIRC) and $100 poorer. Best $100
I've ever spent!

Thank God for sheriffs. If it was a statie I'd been cuffed.
