[SLHetal]

A warning to all those traveling in the Ft, Myers, Naples, Alligator Alley, and Southwest Florida in general. Here is a recent list of the unmarked cars that are used for traffic patrols:
1.) a dark red 2006 Mustang convertible
2.) a black 2006 Mustang convertible
3.) a dark purple 2005 Ford 4 door full size sedan with 20" chrome wheels
4.) a black late model Ford Expedition
5.) a black late model Chevy Suburban
All of these vehicles have very dark window tinting and hidden police lighting in their grilles, rear window decks and above their rear view mirrors.
One evening I was running Alligator Alley from Naples to Miami. One can usually do around 85 and be below the "problem zone". A blonde in a very nice new silver Mercedes SL pulled up beside me, ran even for a little bit and then she pulled forward. I thought I'd pull in behind her and run for a while in her radar shadow since it appeared that she was going to maintain a time saving speed. We got up to about 110 and stayed there for quite a while. Then I guess she realized she was running late and I chickened out at 120 and dropped back to the "safe zone". About five miles later I passed the blonde in the silver SL. She was on the side of the road with a dark purple 2005 Ford full size sedan with 20" chrome wheels and flashing lights in it's grille parked behind her.
