    whew! Close call

    I was on my way to work this morning, feeling a little ornery. Got caught by a red light so I sat there waiting for it to turn green and when it did I rolled into about half throttle the truck launched pretty hard and fast. My 408 with 3600 stall is really loose so the truck came out of the hole from the stoplight like it was shot out of a cannon. I got up to the speed limit and rolled off the throttle. I looked in my rearview mirror and one of Fort Worth's finest was racing up behind me, he obviously was right behind me at the light. I didn't get any strobes or anything. He ended up going around me after following me for about 1/2 mile.

    I had a little run with a camaro on downtown fort smith right in front of one. The camaro lost, so I guess that's why he pulled him over instead of me.

    Lucky ducky!! When I first got the truck going after the turbo build I turned onto a street and when it came into boost a little it started squealing the tires and there was a cop coming over a hill right behind me. I know he heard bc my buddy 2 cars in front of me heard Haha. He was on my ass for about a half a mile then backed off. One of the many times my police sticker saved my ass
