I agree. Everybody on here tickles the throttle from time to time. I was a LEO for 35 years, a let a few guys go with a warning from time to time.

And we thank you officer. I got nabbed street racing once 30 years ago. It was just a sponteneous joust from a red light. My 69 Datsun Roadster, versus a 911. Likely never exceeded the 45mph speed limit by more than 5-10MPH, but we got there quick.

The 911 was faster, so naturally I was the one that got pulled. I had just bought the car. I was so jazzed about my big side draft Solex carbs WITH velocity stacks that I popped the hood before I even showed my license and registration. I was babbling to the officer about what a great car I had just bought that he just smiled, laughed, admonished my actions, and sent me on my way. It was my last street race. Really.

Chatterbox,

That’s was a close one! Cobras are very good at distracting the law from… well the law. Many of us get a pass or at least a lighter slap when the hammer falls.
It seems that cops and Cobras just go together…in a good way.


Tcrist,
It seems clear that regardless of how fast it “felt” to the op, the officer in charge felt it wasn’t worthy of even a minor ticket and that a simple verbal warning was sufficient.
But you feel (regardless of the fact that you weren’t there and have no first hand perspective) that he should have been charged with serious crimes to the extent that his vehicle should have been impounded? Why?
because your mother has a mental condition? LOL. Really?
The rest of the world should change its behavior BECAUSE MOM SIEZES UP when she hears a loud noise? LOL, ummmm not so much
Man I know it sucks but this may be the time to self-asses..
Sell the Cobra, buy a Prius and a rocking chair and get Mom some ear plugs

Honestly, No, we don’t care what you say anymore. You have made the transition from “enthusiast” to “grouchy, self righteous, codger”

Well Jason, thanks for the pot shots. In my younger days I might have taken offence to them but this OLD CODGER just don't give a rats a$$.
