Stupid... Drag racing

Well, at lunch today a Cobalt SS pulled up next to me and revved his engine. I took the bait.

Good news is that I beat him, bad news is that the police where sitting in a gas station near the intersection and chased down the winner, me

I immediately pulled over and 2 officers ran up to my car and told me to exit and put my hands on the roof.

Yep, they arrested me Searched me, cuffed me, put me in the back of the squad car while they looked up my info and wrote out a ticket.

I know, it was stupid!

They released me after scaring the $#!!% out of me.

Now, I have a mandatory court date

These cars are REALLY fun to drive, BUT keep it off the streets!!





While I was sitting in their squad car, they both went up and looked inside of the car, they pointed to the turbo boost gauge and laughed. I think they were shocked that an HHR could do what it did!

You are lucky, some states they will take your car for street racing, and you can't get it back.

Sorry to hear about your bad luck. Do you have a radar detector?

Also, was the cobalt SS/SC?

P.S. Frame that ticket and put it on your wall as a souvenir!

Also what sort of speeds were involved? Did you squeel the tires or something? Was the Cobalt piped?

Been there done that. Sorry to hear this happen to you. It's called Criminal Traffic. Get a lawyer IMO

I got 9 points on drivers licence, $400.00 fine, Insurance went up, and had to do traffic school.

After 3 years it went away.
