I seriously question how they had any evidence to arrest him. How did they impound his car? Was he not back in Canada? \*EDIT: Looks like he lives in NYC. \* I’d like to hear more on the arrest and what happened to him.

I seriously question anyone that does something like this with real plates on there car lol. Some cars I own don’t even have a set of real plates. LoL 😛

Well there are Cameras everywhere in NYC…

He documented the route he took and the approximate time based on traffic…

Did he remove his plates from his car?

Combine this with the fact that if someone does this and posts they will obviously brag about it and the internet isn’t some anonymous place.

Fastest around buffalo would suck, fastest around Houston is an idea…

Mostly highway… do it late at night, fast car… it would be very interesting.

I think the fastest lap around buffalo would be a good time and I think once you get north of the 130-140 mark troopers are not going to catch up to you even if you pass one. assuming they don’t call ahead (which I am sure they would). The chances of not passing a trooper on the loop would be pretty unlikely.

However you’re doing a fucking lap around the city and it crosses the jurisdiction of like 5 different police forces lol

Doing the speed limit this should take you roughly 28-30 min. Def not as long as Houston but still looks fun.

Buffalo would be fun for its lack of traffic at 3:00 am on a Monday morning, shit you could do this during rush hour and it would be like 3:00 am in Houston.

That’s the one downside of Houston, there is always a ton of traffic. Highways with a bazillion lanes are nice though. With weaving you can make some fun high speed runs there.
