Funny Run, :) Options

[prompt]

Night starts off of going out to eat for my sisters b-day. On my way home on the highway in Maine(I-95). I see this green 3000GT SL behind as I am coming off the exit. So we get to a set of lights and line up(Keep in mind I have a auto 95 ST coupe w/ 192k miles and a bad timing belt & low oil).

So I downshift into low and the light turns green. He takes me off the launch. I pull away in 2nd at about 40 before another red light. I'm thinking ok this guy had to of been taking it easy. So as we come to the set of lights we acknowledge each other and get rdy for a real run. Where this light is....is a newly paved 4 way road. So it turns green and we are off. Both of us are doing about 70 in a 30. He ends up beating me by a fender length.

He then proceeds to pull up behind me and take a left onto a side road and I keep going straight. As I watch him take his left I see "blues" in my rearview. I'm thinking oh crap I am totally screwed. The cop actually ends up taking a left to where the 3000GT went instead of going straight to get me.

I have never had my heart drop so fast in my life. I will never do that again unless on a track.
