This may or may not be an urban legend, but I heard this from a reliable source...

There supposedly is a USED Evo for sale, at a dealer in North Jersey. The story is that some father bought the car for his 17 YO daughter. Within the first week she got a speeding ticket. The speed listed on the ticket? How about 144 MPH? The father returned the car to the dealership and took his lumps.

With the STi due to be available.. I'll guarantee if you keep your eyes open you'll find several used EVO's (with mods already done) for sale.. Though knowing the **US** (the people who drive these cars) many will be thoroughly abused.. hehe..

 

144mph! damn im 16 and i know im a target so i dont speed unless im on country roads or on the track. street racing isnt the smartest thing to do, especially at my age.

 

DAMN!!!!144 mph thats an arrest if it was me!!!!!!

 

144MPH i be in jail right away

 

Neh, most people who drive Evos think the STI is ****.

 

at 144MPH most everybody would be arrested. Urban Legand on this one but who knew the evo was one....

 

Depends on the state. I currently live in Virginia, where 144 would be an arrestable speed.

On the other hand, I previously lived in California, where I had a friend who was pulled over twice within a few months for speeds around 130 MPH. At least one of the stops was a "felony stop" -- three cop cars surrounded him, and emerged with guns drawn. No arrest, no jail time, no loss of license. Just a huge fine, and he was put on probation, ensuring that if he got caught again, there would be no mercy.

I was cited in California for "only" 108 MPH. In court, I pleaded it down to a 99 MPH offense, which meant a smaller fine and half the points. Here in northern Virginia, I'd probably have to hire a lawyer to have any chance of avoiding jail time for 108 MPH.

Please don't find out personally what happens in your state for 100+ MPH.

 

Damn that girls got some ***** i sure don't have. I sure wouldn't want that ticket that's for sure.

 

I got to call you out on this one ... not only is it an urban legend ..

but .. I THINK THAT YOU JUST MADE IT UP

you ain't passing on rumors you're starting 'em ... fo shame

 

I don't want to tip my hand, but I also don't appreciate being called a liar in a public forum when you have absolutely no eveidence to back-up your statement. I, at least, stated that I didn't know if this was true - my source for this story is an employee of MMNA - what's your source???

Adios,

Fusoguy

 

Damn, at 144mph a spanish man like myself would be beaten and then arrested.
