Tailgated by the park police

So I'm driving down the GWMP minding my own business, and I notice a cop in my rear view mirror, really close to me. I'm thinking "uh oh. I'm going 60 in a 'strictly enforced' 50." So, naturally, I slow down. The cop gets closer. I get off on the Maryland exit (which goes to the American Legion Bridge), and said come comes with, sticking like glue to my bumper. When I get the opportunity, I take advantage of my car's torque monster status and floor it up to 55 and got the hell out of the way. The cop takes the bridge and gets off. If they were in a hurry, why not use some of their attention getting equipment? Now I know why they don't pull over the tailgaters ;)

Still not fixed...

And it's raining, and the roads seem particularly chock full of fools today. I think I'm going to see if I can write Dr. Gridlock on-line about that debacle on 395. (see )
