I don't have a Q, but I was wandering thru your forums and decided to post, because its fairly amusing. When I was going to college I lived about 2 hours away from home, but would generally make it home in just over 1 hour. Well, I'm crusing home in the 240SX one day and this greyhound bus merges in front of me, and I'm like, shoot, now I'm gonna be stuck behind this bus for a while. So I pull up on him and slow down to about 60 ( its 55 the whole way home, I run it around 80 ) and the bus starts pulling on me. I"m like, wtf, : ) so I give it some gas and start to catch back up, I push it up to about 70 and give him some room, because its only 2 lane. Hes still pulling away so I bump it up to 80, and start to match speeds, as I'm a safe enough distance back at this point. I push it up a little more to 85 and I"m cruising keeping a fairly steady distance from this greyhound. So here I am following a greyhound bus at about 85 miles per hour in a 55, and he's passing people like nobody's business. So I'm passing to keep up and we come up on this 6 mile straightaway. He's pushing 90 and coming up on this car in front of us pretty fast, I can see he's getting ready to pass only theres a super diesel coming towards us in the oncoming traffic lane. I'm like oh sh*t, he's gonna crash, so I slow way down because I didn't want to get sucked into the accident that I saw coming. Well, the bus goes to pass, without enough time even though he's doing 90, the car next to him slams on its brakes, the truck swerves off the road, the bus swerves back into our lane, goes off the shoulder, then swings the bus back into our lane. I can like, see the bus rocking and I"m like damn. Well, the truck is in the ditch, I'm doing 40 in a 55 and low and behold their was a state trooper right behind the super diesel. He slams on his brakes and his lights go on and I pass him and he looks pissed beyond all reason. Which, I can understand why he would be because the bus driver endangered the lives of all the people on the bus, the car it passed, the truck it almost hit, and most importantly that cops life. So I pull over and the cop goes flying past me. The other car pulls over, so I pass him because I wanna see this bus get pulled over. : ) Yes, I"m a sick individual. Well, to my stunned disbelief the bus driver makes a run for it, I was going 80 and they were pulling on me steady, the bus had to have hit 100 and the cop was trying to catch him, but he just had a standard patrol cruiser. I was like, holy ****, I can't believe he's making a run for it. : ) A couple miles later I come over the hill in time to see the cop at the door of the bus with his gun drawn dragging the bus driver from the greyhound. I can only imagine how those travelers must have felt. It was quite amusing though. : ) I couldn't believe the bus made a run for it.
Thats one of my many stories, I just like that one because its not every day you see a greyhound almost flip and then make a run from the police at 100 miles per hour. : )
Have fun Infiniti people! : )
