Car Chases

I was watching one of those 'top 50 car chases' on tv. and on almost every single one, the perp only gets goin' to like 100, or 110.
And I'm watching like 'really...really...thats the best chase'
and I figure if anyone with an evo ran from a cop it would totally be the best chase video ever because....c'mon.

Man... Have you ever figured how far you really could get?

At the track, I get like 4-5 mpg. 14.5 gallon tank and I'm going less than 75 miles.

I better not run!

Most chases caught on camera are limited to about 100 because there's traffic or other speed limiting circumstances. Also, people who have an advantage (good car/ head start) are never even caught on camera.

Not many people get away, but if they do and it's caught on tape, do you think they are going to release the tape?

I have seen two different videos of stolen evo's in the UK dissappearing on cops. Given out there the cops drive beaters.

It's soooooooo much easier on two wheels, especially if your already cruising at an incredibly stupid high rate of speed as your passing through a radar trap.......so I've been told.

if they showed the videos of people getting away, people would know how easy it is and everyone would start trying it

Saw a video on youtube of a couple blowing through an intersection in a truck and getting wiped out by a semi while running from the long arm of the law because they decided they wanted to steal a riding mower

lol all the cops i know saw they don't really bother with bike chases, he just says " they'll end up fall and crashing on their own time, so why bother".
