Really just taking it easy. As I was merging onto 280, I looked over my shoulder to locate the car I knew was in the 3 lane and oops! That's a CHP car! I came off the gas and coasted down to about 65 and put the cruise on. He wound up about three car lengths back, at about 7 o'clock.<br /><br />He stayed right there for a couple of miles and then pulled in behind me and exited at...Bunker Hill? The exit just south of the rest stop. Anyways, as soon as he exited, I accellerated up to about 75 and moved into the 3 lane.<br /><br />As we went through the overpass, I looked over at the onramp and thought "Huh, if I were a real bastard, I'd get right back on the freeway and bust me", so I pulled back into the 4 lane and coasted back down to 65. As soon as I did that, I saw his lights entering the onramp and coming back onto the freeway. Bastard!<br /><br />At this point, I was passed by a large pack of traffic occupying all four lanes and averaging something like 75-80mph. About 20 seconds later, who came blasting through the pack at about 90 and right up onto my bumper? He followed me up until the rest stop, exited and gave up.<br /><br />I kept it at 70 after that. I kept expecting him to start riding my ass again. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="mad.gif" /> If I'd been in the GTI, he never even would have noticed me. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>1990Silver5.0</b> <br /><small>Member # 6210</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,10,26,22,38,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Happens to me all the time.
