Gulp. I used to have a sports car and racked up...a few...tickets. When I met my husband and we got two dogs and I gained a stepdaughter, I traded in my hot wheels for an SUV. Almost killed me. Even now, my hubby sometimes says: Hey babe, your KIA doesn't "corner like it's on rails" - sadly, he's right. In my current WIP I have a car chase scene I'm proud of. I'm living vicariously through my characters now :-) (And yeah, I own a lot of car racing movies...)Dawn Iushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01546425873531022196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5691193709206281737.post-88656687348165846842010-06-21T07:12:30.444-07:002010-06-21T07:12:30.444-07:00It should only ever be attempted by those people w...It should only ever be attempted by those people who have seen the chase scenes in the various Wallace and Grommit animations, and who as such know just how weird things can get.stuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16388674850920848503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5691193709206281737.post-90596400538237597342010-06-21T06:57:24.175-07:002010-06-21T06:57:24.175-07:00ROFL at the last two.

I had just stopped at a stop sign, and was suprised my car had excelerated that quickly. Sure, my car might have LOOKED like a sport car, but it didn't act like one. The hot-looking cop smiled and gave me a warning when I said, "Ooops!"Stinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11415189347501942340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5691193709206281737.post-21820080540482429162010-06-21T06:33:19.663-07:002010-06-21T06:33:19.663-07:00I am super impressed by your ticket avoiding abili...I am super impressed by your ticket avoiding abilities.
