Well....I was minding my own bidness coming back from UC Berkeley ....cruising at about 90mph on the I5 just north Of Coalinga.....no mans land.......the only blip on the horizon was the cloud of stink above the Cattle feed lot.....
Anyhow, in my mirror I see what appears to be a black Mustang doing warp nine coming up on my buttocks......now the CHP USED to run these cars as interceptors and some of the Podunk PDs still do. The threat detector has not gone off and there has been no eye in the sky.....but I back it off anyways to about five over the 70 MPH speed limit....... He blasts past and I see it's a civilian car....5.0 with a high and tight Marine driver.......I put my foot in it and before I can get up to speed a BMW 330 two door with all wheel drive passes me at about 110...... Woof......wind it up and hit a buck/30 and reel them in.....we play bumper tag for about 15 minutes and then my "Spidey Sense" says back off...... I tap the brakes and at the same time on the the other side I see the distinctive front end of a Crown Vic...... the Ka band warning pegs and the CHP hits the binders, locks it up, crosses the median and gives chase.......I am already in the right lane doing the 72 and he passes me without a look,,,,,,, Phew....... Both the Marine and the Yuppie get yanked over and I don't even look as I pass bye...... Hmmmm, time for some gas and a sandwhich...... Thank you Mr. Valentine...... |

CHP also got some new toys, have a look for yourself.(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) The new warning lights are LED so they don't show until it is too late, and they also have traffic units that have the warning lights inside the car that are also LED. The cars come in traditional black and white as well as just white.
