Using a Rabbit

[protias]

I was traveling 10-15+ psl when a BMW with a V1 passes me doing 15-20+. I followed him for a good 10 miles. One time I played with him and grabbed my Bushnell, fired it as we got to a possible hiding spot for a LEO, he hit is brakes and I laughed. After that, we drove for 5 miles to where a LEO was hiding under a bridge in the median. Rabbit saw him first and a few seconds later I saw him. We both slowed down to 5+ psl when he hit us. After that, we sped back up and I had to get off the freeway a few miles later. He was one of the few smart rabbits I've ran with.

The Bushnell bit is cruel, but hilarious!

I had a few good rabbits over a year ago here on a motorway. 90 - 100 all the way for over half an hour or so. Given the roads (and drivers ) we have here, it was a major record that I will probably not see the likes of again for quite some time .

It was serious fun though .

A few years back while in Indiana, I was following a MB SUV on I-94. He passed by when I was doing +15 PSL. I let him get ahead about 1/2 and then followed him for about 5 miles. We were doing 100+. I had the 8500 back then and it went off for Ka band. I slowed to PSL to the annoyance of cars behind me. I moved to the center lane. The rabbit was pulled over the the driver that flipped me off while passing me was pulled over by a second trooper. I had great warning.

I was driving home from work at around 80 and got passed by a woman in an F250 and a cowboy hat. Followed her the rest of the way at 90-100. She was using her turn signals, not tailgating, and exercising lane discipline. I think I fell in love for a minute...

Just a few other times I had a real rabbit for a while but they aren't as notable. I don't consider anyone a rabbit unless they're going at least 85. Everyone else is just in my way.

I had a great experience while traveling through Ky on I-65 about a week ago, it was probably around 9 pm, so it was dark, not a lot of traffic but just enough, I actually got behind two rabbits one following the other so I jumped in line we were running 15-20 over the PSL, both were using signals, traveling in the right lane except to pass......we all ran together like that for probably 30-40 miles......it was glorious.......especially because the lead man didn't seem to mind that he was in front (no clue if he had any countermeasures). Was one of the best experiences I have had to date........too bad the wife got hungry and I had to exit I would have liked to see how long I could have used them

Had an odd experience earlier today with the idea of using a rabbit. I had to get to Fort Wayne, IN from Chicago in about 3 hours on a "mini-highway" that has occasional stop lights and I found that in order to make the trip as close to 3 hours as possible, I had to make up for the stop lights where I could - result: 85 in 45 and 55 zones galore. It just so happens that I became the rabbit to a few cars where they followed about an 1/8th mile back, and after a mile or so, I got tired of it, and slowed down till they got behind me. None of them wanted to pass so I went to PSL until they passed. After I passed them back (going significantly slower than before), they formed a "Pack" behind me following very closely, and we held 80-85 for about 110 miles.

Anyway, point is, one of them was going to Fort Wayne as well and when we got off and ended up at the stop light, we were in oppposite turn lanes and he honked so I looked over and he gave me 2 thumbs up and a wave for letting him follow. I gave him the "whats up" nod and waved

Gotta love being appreciated when you have worthy "followers"

I loved being able to speed though IN.

Here are my top three.

#3 In My truck, ran 85-95 for three hours with a Tundra. Both of us were towing and we took turns leading the way.

#2 In My car, ( back when it had the stock 120 MPH limiter) ran 120 with a late model Mustang. Ran that way for 20 minutes until he was just a spec in the distance.

#1 running 90 solo, got my doors blown off by a black BMW. Ran 140 for 10 minutes to catch up, then ran 125 with him.

LOL Great thread.I would have to say my best one was in NJ behind a NJSP.He must have been off duty because I picked him up @ exit 11 and went all the way to exit 3.He was FLYING.My car only does 110 and I had to floor it to keep up.I had to slow down for the radar spots of course.He didnt.Near exit 3 he slowed down and I slowed down to stay behind him, but I wound up along side him.He was a big man and when I looked over at him he flashed his hand twice.I said what?He rolled down the window and said 55!Then took off like a rocket.He saved me at least an hour.This was 20 years ago and I never forgot that.I thought he was gonna pull me, and I was thinking I thought I had stayed far enough behind him for him not to notice me.LOL.I love rabbits and use them everytime I can.
