I was driving down the highway going to work one day behind 2 cars that were going 75 in a 55. I stayed with them for a few miles then decided if a cop was going to turn he was going to go after the Red Mustang (me). So I slowed down to 65 or 70 and let them put some distance on me then sped back up to 75 to keep in sight of them. Not more than 5 minutes later that's exactly what happened. A State cop coming from the other direction let the 2 cars go by at 75, then when he saw me he looked right at me and jammed on his brakes and swerved into the median. He had a perfect opportunity to turn around and be on them in no time, but elected to turn into a crowd of cars to single me out. I was in the process of passing a semi and watched the mirror as he tried to find an opening to pull out. I got about 3/4 mile to a mile on him before he started after me. I got in front of the semi and positioned myself so I could see him gaining in my driver side mirror and timed it so he would be beside the semi just as a side road came up. I even slowed the semi down to help time it just right. When he was beside the semi I shot down the side road and that was the last I saw of him. By the time he realized I was gone he had passed the semi and was in no position to turn around. To make this story even more interesting I passed another State cop driving the opposite way as me on that same road, and was probably doing close to 90 from the adrenalin rush. He slammed on his brakes but I was entering some S-curves and never saw if he tried to turn around on me or not. I made it to the next highway, turned left, and drove the speed limit the rest of the way to work freaking out the whole way

I look back now and laugh because it serves them right for picking on me and letting two "respectable" looking cars go by commiting the same crime.
