Ran away from a cop.....
**This is meant to warn people not to get too carried away with their Evos....** 100% true, no need to bulls**t
Well heres the story:
We were leaving the beach from a bonfire, we were running 8 cars deep. My evo was leading the group from the parking lot to the street, my friends' fixed up wrx followed right behind me. We were both stopped at a red light, he pulls up next to me, (you guys know what this means). At this time the other 6 cars had a couple other cars in front of them, which was right behind us. *Green light (going uphill, and the beginning of a highway) - none of us launched, we just pedaled it hard, from 1st-3rd gear i was gaining from him so eventually he gave up. I would say we hit up till 100-110... After i clearly won we started slowing down. A couple seconds later i got a call from one of my friends all the way behind us telling me there was a cop heading our way. The backgroud from the call was loud and he jokes a lot, so i thought he was trying to scare us. Then i got another call from another friend behind us, right when she told me, i believed her.
I looked at the rear view mirror and see a car coming up fast behind us. So i made a quick right at 60mph, while my friends wrx sped off going straight. I quickly made another right (At this point i know the cop is chasing me and not my friend) and gunned it on an uphill, made another right (luckily, a left turn would of been dead end.) I quickly parked at the side street, turned off the lights, and the engine. If you have an Evo you would know that turning off the engine means the interior lights would come on. Exactly what happened. (I thought i was caught right when the interior lights came on). The cop though, passed us up speeding away.
Me and my friend (passenger) thought quickly that he might come back seeing the interior lights, so we left the car and jumped over a houses' fence and stayed there for 10 min. or so. Luckily no, dogs, and no one was awake (was like 12:30am). After awhile, i jumped back in to the street, and looked around for a min. No one around, so i told my friend to jump back over. Luckily the house next door had lights all over their house, because as we walks toward the car, the cop rolls by. We quickly acted like we came out of the house. So the cop goes by, then we decided to head towards the convenient store down the street just so the heat would die out, and plus we couldn't chilll by the houses long. So we started walking down and i guess the cop made a circle because he came up to us.
He got out of the car and asked us what we were doing. We said we were going to the convenient store. He explains that he lost a car that was speeding, and then told us to get in front of the cop car (camera rolling). I thought it was over because, my passenger friend was kinda *high* from the beach. But the cop jsut asked us for our names and addresses. The cop asked us why we were in that area if we lived somewhere else, so i said it was a family friends' house. So he asked us where, and i quickly gave him the number of the house that had lights all over it (thank god i looked at the numbers and street name). Since the car is not registered under my name, i had no problem giving him my license number. He asked us if we drove, we both said no, that my family drove here. He asked us if we came from the beach, i said no, while my *high* friend goes yyee......no. Luckily i guess the operator was talking to the cop in his earpiece so the cop didn't hear it. He asked us couple more questions (which i answered and just talked casually a little bit, he asked my friend what triple five soul on his sweater means). when he was leaving i asked "what car were you chasing, a mustang?" he answers, no, its a fixed up honda. GOOD, he didin't know what car he was chasing. So we head towards the store, and during that time, the cop passed by a couple times. So we just chilled there for awhile.
I called my wrx friend, and he said they were coo that they pulled off at the third exit after mine (the second exit was a police station) and parked, and hid in the back seats for like 20min. Well after the cop circled around me at the store, he took off towards my friends direction, i quickly called him again to stay put and don't drive. Couple minutes later, the cop comes by around the store again circling. My wrx friends calls me says that hes leaving, and then right when he was talking to me, another cop comes up behind him, and follows him (at the same time the cop circling the store, takes off towards my wrx friends' direction). after 5 min. they stopped following him, my wrx friends, went home, got his sister's camry and picked us up from the store.
An hour later, we went back to the area, no cops around, but i just went back to see that my car is locked and stuff, didn't want to risk of having the same cop suspecting my car, pull me over, to find out it was me again. so right now 4:00am, my cars is in a strange neighborhood. I figure i go get the car around 8:00am, the cop should be off his shift, and cars everywhere.
It sucks, my car was turned off immediately, no cooling down for the turbo, after i gunned it racing my friend, and gunned it losing the cop on the hill.
Be careful out there, you'll get tempted to do stupid things. I just got lucky (didn't turn left at the dead end, cop didn't know it was me with the interior lights on, didn't even know what car for the matter, didn't test my friend to see if he was under influence when getting questioned.) Also afterwards my other friends (the 6 cars behind us) told us that the cop was behind them, but because they were going slow, it slowed the cops down, and also giving time to call and tell us.
I'm exhausted and beat, running away from a cop was probably one of the most daringest thing i' would ever do, i'm just glad the evo and wrx didn't get caught.

I have a tendency to name my cars and that is exactly why I named mine "criminal intent". Glad you didn't get in any trouble but be careful. I know I find myself cruising around 80 mph when I'm not trying. I was pulled over one morning when I was in a rush to get to work. I think the only reason I didn't get a ticket was that he never really clocked me. He told me that he suspected I was doing 80+. All I know is we gotta be careful cause it's way too easy to hit triple digits in the Evo.

I know it's not meant to be but that's pretty funny. Sounds like something out of a movie.

Back in the late 1980's-early 1990's, my buddy had an '84 mustang, he told me he used to go out late at night and LOOK for cops and try to get them to chase him.
He was very successful a few times and never got caught. Of course there were times where he didn't give a **** and would speed a little just to get pulled over. Man, I guess he had some issues back then!
