    Cruising on the interstate going 85-90. This was at night and there was hardly any traffic. All of a sudden, a pontiac Firebird goes past me going at least 100. I let him get ahead of me (about a quarter mile) and I match his speed at 110 mph (PSL is 70). I pace him for a good thirty minutes and as he crests a hill coming up, I see him hit the brakes and I get a Ka 34.7 alert on my 9500ci/V1. I slow to PSL and when I crest the hill sure enough a TX DPS trooper blacked out on the shoulder turns his lights on (he literally materialized out of the darkness) and goes after the pontiac. Huge save for me but a huge ticket for my rabbit.

    My best time when using a rabbit for me was when I was the rabbit. I tought me a VERY, VERY good lesson to never be a rabbit again...and to never drive without CM's. I got nabbed for 94 in a PSL of 70 mph...worst feeling ever.

    VTEC power unite!

    Probably the best is following PA state patrol 15-20 mph over in my parents full size conversion van. Obviously not hiding much until I lost sight of him over a hill with woods on both sides. I roll out of the throttle as we enter into a porn grass area and the RD goes off. There he sat just waiting for us.

    Has anybody ever met their rabbit at the gas station after following them and coincidently you need gas as well and you happen to pull into the same gas station and all the pumps are full, because your traveling during the holidays and the only pump left is next to your rabbit. You start to think dang only if I had a few extra dollars I'll fill your tank up or buy you a burger for saving me sometime on the road.

    I've never had any interesting or favorite encounters with rabbits. My favorite videos and stories involve the rabbit being pulled over though.

    I was in a Rabbit train for about 200 miles in Northern CA. There were 6 of us all trading off taking point at 95-100 through nowheresville CA. In general though, I like to kick back and cruise with traffic until I see someone bombing by near license revoking territory. I let him get way in front, but not too far where I lose sight, and I just follow. If you're too close, the rabbit expects you to take turns. I've wisened up over the years to the point where it just doesn't pay to be out in front.

I'm about a half a mile back at this point, because this was at night, and I figured I shouldn't speed by too much at night. When I saw him keep going, I said what the hell, and followed him, and we held 95-105 for about 20-25 miles before he was getting off. I did not gain on him the entire time as he was probably around the same speed. When I finally caught up just as he was about to exit, I saw he was running what looked like an 8500 and we gave the "whats up" nod to eachother as we parted. He helped take my commute from 40 to 45 min to 23 min on the dot. Very cool guy, wasn't living in the left lane, used his signal, he was a good driver in my book.

    ANYWAY. What are your best experiences of using a Rabbit?
    Nice one.

    While not my best rabbit encounter, this one is worth showing....in the end, the rabbit was just in the wrong place at the right time.
