: Fun on the NJ Turnpike! *Sad & Funny*

Today while driving my demon SRT-8 home, crusing down the NJ Turnpike, a Silver Mustang GT (new style) was tailgating me hard, he obviously wanted to play. He was swerving behind me and moved into the far left lane. I was in the middle just cruising home at around 70mph, pretty standard on this highway. As he moved along side of me I noticed his car start to accelerate, he obviously had it floored. I pressed the gas down and the beast lunged forward at a rapid pace, as you all know. After I was at 110 (the road was clear ahead of me) I decided to end this "race" and go back to crusing speed. Plus, I know this roadway very well and I know where the state troopers like to hide, and just around the bend was one of their favorite spots.

Sadly, my eager opponent was unaware and continued to do a ricer-style-ninjitsu-sneakattack-flyby!!!! As he blew past me at 100mph+, there was our friend Mr. New Jersey State Trooper in his usual spot. The Stang slammed on the breaks but it was far too late and the trooper was blasting out of his hiding spot!!

I laughed out loud as I watched him hunt down the Stang and pull him over. :D

Man what a day! I can only imagine his stories to his friends "Dude, I messed with this SRT-8 and all I got was a $600 speeding ticket. "

The NJ Turnpike, and AC Expressway for that matter, are quite possibly the WORST places to play. The State Troopers are all over the place in NJ to begin with, and these two roadways are infested :eek:

If you wanna play, hop on the PA turnpike west of West Chester exit. You'd be lucky to see even one trooper between there and Harrisburg.

70.... Ha i remember driving back up to NJ from FL and doing 80-90 and being passed like i was standing still.

Yea you do not want to mess with the staties up there. Even with a PBA badge you will get a ticket, hell you may even be related to the guy, your getting a ticket anyway.

I have had my SRT for a week now and have yet to have anyone try me :( .
I will be waiting. My Volant CIA is installed and the B&B is on its way!!! Maybe after that I will get lucky.

ditto on that comment lol. i went to college at Villanova and drove back and forth from there to Staten Island often... i NEVER, i repeat NEVER once saw a PA trooper the whole way from the NJ border to the Blue Route. you could blast down that thing like it was the Autobahn.

The NE Extension from the Blue Route out to the Poconos used to be the same way. And one of the few parts of this country where traffic moves FAST, and slowpokes know to stay right.
