Speeders (name of show) is on Tru TV, used to be Court TV.
I love that show. I'll keep a look out for you!


...but seriously, how do you speed in an xA? 35 in a 25?

Oh.... So thats why I can not find court tv anymore? Nah, I mostly watch history or discovery.

Yeah, he was doing 35 in a 15 and failed to signal, window tint, loud exhaust.

Pls tell me you tried to impersonate this guy when they pulled you over http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znJ272Cbxmg

People used to watch Court TV? I seriously think that's why they changed their format... they still show law-related shows but with an upbeat, sarcastic, reality twist to them. A lot of the shows are absolute trash but there are some gems (like dumbest criminals and speeders).

Naw. Let me ask, did you see the camera crew, did they ask you first if they can film you, did they say if you sign a release they pay the ticket?

they got out of the car with the officer and let him do his thing first. they introduced themselves and asked for permission. after playin with em a couple minutes tehy wanted to see the car and the fun began. they didnt say they would pay for the ticket tho. didnt need it no how. i did see the cop a couple a months later @ a license check and he hollered out to all his buddies that i was the one he was gonna be on tv with.

Default Pretty cool show

I just saw it, I'm glad he did not give you a ticket. It's not too hard to stop our little cars.

Wow, I saw it too and it was an 06 like mines. Man, whats up with not flipping the ear cleaner lever on the left side of your steering wheel? You can lane hop every 15 seconds as long as you flip that first, look both ways, then move. I lane hop like a mother or frogger.

Nice mods, was that the rs sunroof or something you added? Did they get premission from the cop for you to get out and walk around the car or they did that after the stop but edit it like you were doing it in middle of the stop?

PS, I got it on dvd-r.

its an aftermarket sunroof. it was done by the shop that does our new car installs so he is reputable. they got permission while he was running the plate and then he waited till they were done to come back and talk to me. and I didnt signal cause i dont want to wear out me turn signal, hahahaha. actually i was in the left lane the whole time till he blu lighted me and i pulled to the right for an emergency vehicle. hey cobb, can u shoot me a copy. ive got it on vhs but cant convert it and its still not showing up on the website.
