haha I wasiting for Bruce! You've gotten soft my man! This should have been locked awhile ago....
I'm like Ricky Bobby...I like to go fast....but talking about it on the board is a big no no....and 120 on the highway is a mistake....whether you think you are alone or not...
I would hate to see you filp that car and see a complete different expression on your bro's face....just a side note

I love driving fast and the Box is one of the best cars on earth for doing it in.
On the track, I think it is one of life's great experiences.
Out there, generally, you are the only one you can maim or kill.

As for Blink driving fast late at night on a straight, vacant highway.... my advice would be to get a good radar detector. I recommend the Valentine 1. A lot of CHP in Cali just leave their radar on and the V1 will let you know two miles before you can even see them! If you want to drive fast without anyone else around, at least don't get caught doing it.
As for Ohio police - I hear ya vath2001! I grew up in Ohio and the state police situation disgusts me every time I go back to visit. Try crossing from Indiana to Ohio on I-70. 95% of the time there's a couple troopers sitting there just waiting to pick off people not adjusting for the speed limit change.  Too many highway patrol just trying to pull in revenue in that state.

Don't take me wrong as I certainly wish I was wrong, but Ohio State Patrol are born without a soul!! In my 2400 mile trip from Cali to columbus, I saw more cops from the indiana/ohio line to dayton than I did my whole trip, with the exception of Iowa(but there was a 3 car pile up). The bastards have even taken flight. Toledo, columbus, dayton and I am sure most big cities have adopted the bear in the air. I am still trying to develope true stealth technology!!
Ohio patrol's new motto is "we stopped the quota system years ago, so we can now write more tickets!!"

Grandmother Stunt Driver
Here in Toronto, we had a 63 year old lady pulled over for "street racing".
Here car was impounded and she was given a big ticket. She was also
left on the side of the street. She fought that she was not street racing,
and that she has a very good driving record. She was disturbed by the
fact that they would leave her on the corner of the road, for driving too fast.
Apparently, she was driving in a 80 zone and pulled over at 130kmh. She says
that she only over took a slow moving truck. She was at 130 for only 30seconds.
Okay I agree, that you don't have to hit 130 to over take a truck lol.... that's
sketchy for sure. But street racing for driving too fast. 60 year lady!
She got off! http://www.thestar.com/news/ontario/article/693457

Ummm, no. She was doing 80 mph in a 50 mph zone. Metric system. Sounds like the cop was a jack a_ _.
