Another FR-S crash - Owner ran from the police.

[thill]

Yes, I learned that in the military.. Radio is always faster

Also it is not like you are driving a car that blends in like a Civic, Corolla, Cruz, etc. How many FR-S's in that color are driving around in that town ....

Not his first rodeo: Luke Pfeiler, 21, of Brunswick, pleaded not guilty to one count of harassment with bodily substance, a fifth-degree felony. A jury trial is scheduled for July 22. Sucks he survived. Wonder who he will manage to kill on his next adventure?

Unless you are driving downhill with tofu in the back (helps balance)

This did happen to me once, and i did technically run from the officer, but i didn't realize he was behind me, i was speeding to the next rest stop because i was turtling hard core and he ended up chasing me into the bathroom stall and then it got weird fast.

A trick I learned from a buddy is to keep your paperwork somewhere where you can grab it before being pulled over without looking like you are trying to hide something (i.e not in the glove box). as you pull over roll the window down, turn your inside lights on if its night time, turn the car off and stick both hands out the window holding all your paperwork and wait patiently for the officer to cautiously walk up to your car. Everytime I've done this i get the "you've been pulled over before I see" but the officer seems more responsive to giving me a lecture over a ticket (has worked 3 times so far but i make it a point to not be pulled over)

Now i'm not sure i'd try the above with state patrol, I've only had one dealing with them and i was in my wifes car so stuff was not in easy access. But the guy i dealt with was a just an ass, never said anything except for "license and registration" then walked to his car, came back, threw the ticket and my paperwork back into my car and told me to slow the fuck down. (he tagged a suv who passed me doing 84 in a 70 while i was doing 77, gave me the 84 ticket)

did he flee the country after his insurance gave him the news on his financial duties??
Nice sunroof! I mean convertible! I mean! oh...

He probably though you were itching to drop the drugs in the shitter. Did the cop look like any of these people?

That was a funny story and I had a good laugh so thank you haha.

And it is unfortunate that this happened. I would never condone running from the cops but this reminds me of when I was at TX2K13. I was filming two of my buddies (one in a TTGallardo and one in a 1200+GTR) race on the highway. Now I got ahead of them so I could catch the flyby on the go-pro and sure enough they fly by. There was also an undercover up ahead and as I started to exit I saw the UC turn the lights on and then turn em off......I guess he figured what was the point.

(As a reference I was doing about 170 when I let off and they flew past me like I was standing still so they were easily 190+)

Still don't run from cops. Just take the ticket.....it's better that way.

I'll bet this is just a teaser to the all new GT86 Convertible. Trust me guys, this is just a marketing ploy.

Yeah, I was hoping for the same thing. Kinda cool to see it from another perspective though
