Sorry to all if off topic.
I am disabled but it is easier for me to get in and out of my convertible than it is to get into my wifes SUV.
One way people would know I hit the lottery, is if I start showing up driving a 1969 Judge GTO, in orange of course.

They must stop asking questions. If the suspect continues to talk after invoking his right to remain silent, he just reopened the door. You cannot expect the police to stick their fingers in their ears say “la la la la la la la.” That goes back to the other adage, “you have the right to remain silent but lack the ability.” As long as the police do not restart the conversation, yes, the suspect is required to continue to exercise his right.
Here’s an example, a person is arrested and read their rights. He says he doesn’t want to talk to the police. He is put in the police car and then starts talking to the police officer(s) in the car. What are they officer(s) supposed to do?

My daughter was pulled over as a teenager leaving a friends house where there was a party. Police knew there was a party and they pulled her over for doing 1 over; a pretextual stop to see if she had been drinking. She was not drinking so there was nothing done. It was all good! She didn’t know it but I was contacted right after the stop by the deputy who pulled her over to tell me what happened. I was a deputy on that SO at the time and it was a small department. She was actually stopped twice in Oldham County and I knew about them both before she made it home. She didn’t need to know. 1 mile over and a license plate light out, I wasn’t worried about her breaking the law. That was my son!

I watch my speed closely always trying to stay less than 10 over, except in OH where it is no more than 5 over. I usually set my cruise at 7 over the posted limit. I’m in a 2011 Camaro SS with 400 HP and a top speed of 156 MPH. I have not had it there … yet!

I had a 2014 and 2017 Camaro SS. Fun cars for sure! I still have my baby, a 2000 Trans Am Firehawk. Most of the local cops know my car and leave me be. My wife does car seat check with Sheriffs and Troopers. I usually bring it over so they can fight with infant seats in the back. I am a cruel person. However, they just wave at me.

My kids tell me things like this… I’ll tell you what I tell them, these are not things you tell me. I worry!

Trust me when I say unless the cars suspension has been set up for it, and you are on a great road, things can get a little harry over the 135 mark, after 150 look out. Here is a list of the cars I have driven over the 150 mark,
1967 Mustang fastback with HP 289
1969 Mustang with a 302 boss (only lost one street race with this one and it was just for fun)
1971 Mustang with a limited edition (only 50 made) 351 (my brothers car and I totaled it with him in it)
1970 Porsche 914 (second largest engine put in it while I was in Germany from 1980 -1985)
2007 Mustang with Nos
Some things you can deduce from this list;
- I like Mustangs
- I use to like to go REALLY fast
- I am lucky to be alive.
Currently the only thing I own which can come close to those speeds (I will be honest I am too old and too scared to find out just how fast it will go) is my Kawasaki Explorer touring bike (I have had it in the 130s range).
Be safe and be smarter than I was, I used up a lot of luck over the years.

I have no intentions of testing the limits of Carissa. That is her name.

1995ish, I bought a Mazda Miata. We (my best friend) dropped a 5.8 liter V8 Mustang engine, turbo charger, supercharger, race brakes, tuned the suspension, and better tire, along with various body mods so it would stay down 
We have this guy who’s Dad owned the biggest Liquor/Cigar store in the City. He kind of ran the street racing here. He had an absolutely beautiful beast of a Porsche 911, that he had tuned.
That Miata made me king, for a year, and then the accumulation of tickets made me only drive it on closed courses. But between that and various bikes I have had 200 mph. The hardest thing is staying on the ground.

I read about him topping out 100 mph in his High School Year Book after he graduated. He was in Boot Camp at Paris Island so i really couldn’t say much about it. Until he was home on his 10 day leave. Then he got an earful! I had to tell him I was glad I wasn’t reading it in his obituary or the arrest warrant.
