They should settle this like real Z owners: on the RACE TRACK!!!

But I think go karting would suffice. I'm down for some karting, anyone else?

^^ too bad were cool now...man, how come u didnt suggest that sooner?!? that would be sweet. the only prob is that go karting can be expensive (isnt it around 15-20 a run?) n i aint got the money right now.

cablazn, are you coming on the drive to Rosyln?
srry man, i dont know if i will be able to make it...work

...I have to be motivated enough to press a prof or lecturer because theya re so used to just firing off generic responses, I like to challenge them.
thats so true...it gets really annoying, but if u r willing to challenge them, most teachers will hear u out. (ive raised a few grades by doing that...but luckily i havent had that problem to much lately, i think its because ive been gettn good profs)

have the 2 of you met my friend Zipit??

get a room!
no, im srry i havent had the aquintance. nice to meet u Zipit!

anyway, srry bout all this too...kinda put the thread off-track...



ok, ill shut up now, i have a date with Zipit! jk

I found this article... They are not only domestics...

"WSP also operates unmarked units, including SUVs and sports cars such as the Camaro, and luxury cars such as Volvo." http://www.answers.com/topic/washington-state-patrol

I read a press release from WSP and it says there are 10 unmarked vehicles.

There is a big rig 18 wheeler unmarked WSP as well...http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/05/510.asp

I hate SUV cops. It's bad enough that Texas is over populated on the roads with them. They are so hard to spot if their radars aren't on

Default What is entrapment and what is not....

OK, since I was the OP on this thread, I would like to add a tidbit...

The Seattle Times 5/4/2007 AM front page has a story on Seattle cops having black Chargers and just gushed all over the flat footers about getting cool comments on their "cool cars" and being able to write up some 200+ tickets for "violators".

Yeah, some of these, if not all, are those "taking the bait" that I mentioned in my original post, and I have not seen any of the following scenario so:

If these "cool" Chargers do that "5-10 mph over the speed limit" are baiting for you (more than just once...), when hovering around you in your car, that IMO this is "entrapment".

I would contact the Seattle Police "community" call line to file a formal complaint. It has not happen to me, just a legal heads-up. I would wonder if there are any legal eagles in the NW who could chime in here, regarding any of us getting more than once-at-time , this "bait 'n switch" attempts on any of us fellow 350Z's in the greater Seattle area getting targeted by these Seatte charger "donut hole" patrols.
