Realized Slower lower Dover Delaware is like something out of deliverance?

Be careful driving through SC since there are many cops in unmarked cars and hiding all over the place with the 4th coming soon.

Bimmerista · 06-28-2006, 09:48 AM

OK, I am going to bite, why are you leaving for Schpartanburg and when are we going to know?

Hunter399 · 06-28-2006, 10:04 AM

turns out my uncle built that plant, so he gets a new 760 every year

No, had a regular passport and as soon as the trooper turned on his radar gun, my detector went nuts. By that time it was too late. My fault, I was travelling in the early morning hours with no traffic around me.

I grew up in SC and they are bad! Most of my speeding tickets from earlier were from there.

Weird, when I was driving back from Spartanburg into Tampa, FL I saw almost no cops while I was in SC. The only one I saw as a matter of fact was a Mustang GT Shelby (400HP or something) State Trooper. When he took the off ramp I moved up to 100MPH. Did that until I got within 30 miles of Atlanta and then had to slow to about 85MPH. When I hit the Florida border the state troopers were freakin everywhere. 6 people stopped within a 500 foot radius (yes, 500 FEET!), myself included.

Must have been a quite day or time of year. Maybe they already met the quota for the month. They love I-95 and Hwy 378/76 going to Myrtle Beach. They have IROC Z's, Stangs, and several other undercover cars. I really hate them!:mad:

My guess is you are going to the M Driving Experience from the June 30th till July 1! Am I right? I think so!

Go see Charleston and Myrtle Beach while you are there. Savannah is a couple of hours away as well.

LEDZEP · 06-28-2006, 09:01 PM

Okay, I'm sitting in my hotel room in Spartanburg now... I was really teasing. I'm here on business

not BMW related. Did get to drive by the plant and P-center, but that's about it.

Stallion - that is too funny! But trust me... SC is much worse than Dover!

I may return here someday to take a delivery though... I think that would be cool.

sorry for the tease - couldn't resist.

That makes two. I seriously think an alarm sounds when I enter the state of SC.
