Default Rob (riad), this pic's for you

Tonight on the way home from work I pulled up to the first light outside the office and saw my previous manager behind me in his 996 C2 Cabriolet so I waved. I then did a quick start to show him how my handy dandy Porsche Sports Exhaust sounds when the cable is disconnected. The next thing I know my previous manager has a car with lights on behind him. Not sure if I had done anything wrong, I kept going on another part of the campus where I work but John Law came behind me and kindly asked me to stop.

While I was waiting for him to annotate my personal information, I thought of our good friend Rob and decided to snap this shot in his honor. Sadly the sun was shining behind me so this was the only angle I could get without the sun in it, and I didn't have enough time to get the perfect shot before I was on my way.

So, Rob, this shot's for you buddy!

Yep, and if this little incident tonight gets classified as racing (which I believe would be a serious stretch) then I'll be getting more than my mustache shaved!

HAHA, that's awesome... could be the start of a new trend. If you get busted take out your cell phone and snap a pic, we'll put it on the Rennlist wall of shame!!

Thanks, but the ding was minor and fixed quickly and I don't currently have a ticket in my hand so I'm hoping the cop was trying to scare me more than anything (which he did to some degree).

It would only be eligible or the Wall of Shame if you're caught doing LESS than 125 when you're caught! (Slower than that and it would be an embarassment).

I hope things work out in court, ronmart.
I like the Hall of shame idea, just make sure the kindly officer doesn't mistake your cellphone for one of these (apparently there are some creative gun aficianados out there) press the wrong button and-- BAM-O
