Urban Legends
Ok, where I live there is an urban legend about some drug dealer careening down the interstate in a black lambo at night. The story says that he drove down the opposite side of the highway with his lights off and wore night-vision goggles so that he could see. Apparently he was running drugs along the east coast and used this technique to avoid the cops.
I doubt this story is true, but it would be pretty cool if it actually was. Hence the badging as an urban legend. I was also wondering if anyone else had something like this to share with the forum, being that most areas have their own unique urban legends...

Actually, that Lambo "legend", is true, (or so I've heard) NY state cops caught him courtesy of some tips...And a spotter plane.
Also, he wasn't on the wrong side of the road. He was caught about 5 or so years ago I believe he'll enjoy his lifetime imprisonment harshly...

man, that drug dealer must have been a serious noob. You dont use a lamborghini to smuggle drugs. You use a toyota corolla. Cops will never find you!

Yeah, but you can't outrun Camaro cop rockets in that.

actually i read in the news paper that that happend in houston texas. the guy was working for the mexican mafia running coke. he would put on night vision goggles and run down the back roads from houston to austin. people near la grange texas complained about cars reving their engines every saturday night. so cops set up a few places wherre they think the guys were doing it and stared camping out there on saturdays. one cop left his radar on at night accendly and went to sleep. around 4 am his radar went off showing a speed of 183 mph. so they added more cops to this one road. next weekend they left their radars on again.. and all went off around 4 am again. for 2 more weekends it kept happening. people were still complaining. so the cops deciced to do a little test. when one guys radar went off he called the guy a few miles down the road to put out spike strips.....
BOOM. the guy hit them so fast that it decentergraded the lambo. allong with the coke and his body. the guy was only 19 years old. and he made 350,000 us dollars each way. they think he did this for 3 months. end of the ledgend. peace |
