gets on my tail and decides that he is going to ride my bumper around town. I could tell he was just waiting for an opportunity to either whip around me or try and line up with me at a light. I ended getting close to home, so I turned down the road where I live. It is a double lane that is almost always free of traffic. Sure enough, the second we turn he corner I see his front bumper pull sharply to the left to get into the other lane. At the time I was thinking if I ticket was worth it but as soon as I saw him punch it and try to go around me I just floored the pedal on instinct. To make a long story short, I climbed the gears to reach about 100mph and he was about 2 1/2 car lengths behind me when I looked in my side mirror. He was cool after we powered down, so it is nice to see that all those guys aren't jerkwads. I didn't get a chance to ask him what mods he had done, but it didn't look entirely stock (different rims and wing). I was surprised how quick it was though. Definitely not a car you want to underestimate. But in the end it was:

I have a story along those lines, except with a worse outcome. Yesterday (Christmas day) Im driving home on the highway and a silver honduh civic is whiping threw traffic and begins riding my tail. I havent had my Cobra long so this was looking very tempting. To make a long story short, I beat him bad 2 times from about 50-110 mph, someone called us in and we both got tickets.

Street racing threads are pretty much frowned upon here on Stangnet.

That's the second time I've seen/heard of that happening in that neighborhood. A few years back, on the way home from the Port Angeles Mustang show, two Stangnet members were doing the same thing and ended up getting a couple of HUGE tickets for it after getting called in. I saw them beside the road with the WSP. I believe one of them ended up losing his license for 6 months because of it.

my story of someone calling me in, was passing on what used too be a passing zone that was recently turned into no passing.. (guess some numbnuts though it was too short) it was up a reasonably steep grade, right after a corner.. no problem for my Terminator, they were doing 25 mph, and I didn't want too follow them through 5 more miles of corners doing that slow.. so I passed em.. 10 miles down the road a city cop pulled me over and said that someone had called in a silver Mustang for passing on a corner.. nope, I said it wasn't me.. he said too be careful because there were some *******s out there..

You can get a ticket based on what someone says and not what the officer sees? What happens if you plead innocent? Do the cops know who called? This seems really strange.

My understanding is that, in a case like this, the accuser becomes the complainant rather than the office and they will be called to court.
