Default Cannonball run

Yesterday I was returning to Pittsburgh fron NJ when I see a Panamera coming up behind me. I was on the PA turnpike near Carlisle as he passed I see all the graphics and Tire Rack advertising on the car and thought wow Cannonball run car. It was a Panamera turbo. I was driving a pickup instead of one of my Porsches and he was going between 85-90mph so I let him go. About 30 minutes later here comes Brock Yates in a Hennessy Racing Camaro hauling *** as well with a few other cars in tow. They are all getting alot of looks and have a whole posse of cars trying to keep up. I stayed with them for about 40 miles it was pretty cool. The camaro Yates was driving looked pretty badass.

NICE!!! Question, what kind of radar detector do you use? I'm moving to the Pittsburgh area and will be on the turnpike a lot...considering a wireless Bell model

Brock, old Geezer. Love his writing though...

Must be fun with a bladder full of **** trying to make time at 100 mph! Would drive me insane.
