I can't condone trying to outrun the cops. It's always a bad idea.
..........I can't say I've never done it, either.
I got nabbed like that once also. I was behind the local Pep Boys store after closing and I roasted the tires on their speed bump. There was a cop sitting quietly across the street with his lights off until I was all done. I was in my early 20's and bulletproof. What can I say? I was dumb at the time.
