About 10 years ago (at the foolish age of 30), I was in my Porsche and some other person was in an MR2 and we were enjoying a late night high speed run down Hwy 85 toward 101 in Silicon Valley. As we neared 101, I pulled back and let the MR2 pass me. Not being a c-o-m-p-l-e-t-e idiot, I decided that I didnt' want to hit 101 at speed near/over 100 mph. The MR2 gladly passed me and raced onto 101 and HIT THE BRAKES HARD, slowing to a legal 65 mph. I knew something was up. I slowly entered 101 and started scanning the crowd, and there it was: a white Nissan 300ZX with a slender light bar on the top and a CHP badge on the door.

You never really know what kind of car the California Highway Patrol is going to be sporting. I've seen Camaros, the 300 ZX, pickup trucks, and even a Corvette.

If you're ever visiting California, be careful: The state is trying to reduce the budget deficit.
