Yesterday was a very interesting day. After work, I left to pick Allen and Laura up from their place to go to the movie theaters. We went to go watch Lady Killer. Shao didn’t want to drive his car too, and said he’s meet me at Allen and Laura’s apartment. We waited for about 10 minutes for him to show up…which made us late. It’s not really a big deal though since they usually play previews before hand. I take Betsy Ross Bridge which puts us directly on to I-95 a lot faster than taking Tacony Bridge. Just as I merge onto I-95, I see a cop just a few cars up. I merge onto I-95 and follow a white Jeep Cherokee passing on the left side. You could tell all the other cars were too AFRAID to pass this cop, but the dude is going like 60 mph which is slow for the usual 75mph I-95 traffic. Just as we pass the cop, I see it’s a Philadelphia city cop and it puts me at ease a little. I make fun of the whole line of cars in my rear view mirror that’s too afraid to pass the cop. I eventually gain distance on him. As we are driving along we are all having a great laugh about this and that. We are constantly laughing about something. I passed the cop a while back and I’m still trying to get to the theater as fast as I can without going too much faster than traffic. I’m passing a car here and there, but not really speeding. I’m on the right lane, and I see the lane designated as an exit-only lane, so I signal to get into the lane to my left, but before I can change lanes, I see an “extra” lane to my right, so I think that is the exit-only lane. So I continue in the lane I’m in already in, but a little further up I see the car in front of me suddenly cut into the lane to his left. The reason why he did that is because the exit-only lane (that we were in) is actually a 2-lane exit. I do the same. A little further up is where all the laughs begin. We see this riced-out Honda Del-Sol. The big wing in the back and body kit almost hid the fact that it was a Del Sol. This guy was kind of going slow too, so I begin to pass him on the left, but just as I pull up to it, I downshifted to match his speed, and then gas it to pull away from him like I wanted to race him. All of us burst out in laughter. I guess it was kind of punk thing to do, but I still wasn’t going too fast. As we are all having our laughs, I see a cop, the same cop, right behind me. I thought I had pulled far ahead of him. I wasn’t too worried, but driving a red sports car, I knew he was going to pull me over. Sure enough I see the lights flash. I ask why he pulls me over and he tells me I was speeding. I was like WHAT!?!??! I was going just as fast as traffic. I was passing some cars here and there, but not that much faster. He tells me I was just over 70 in a 45 mph construction zone. He told me that he had his eye on me ever since I passed him and he didn’t like that. He was looking for reasons to pull me over. Ha ha ha. I had just merged onto I-95 when I passed him, and so I couldn’t have known at that point the construction zone speed was 45mph. Then he told me I was driving carelessly when I “suddenly” cut into the lane on my left, but I told him it was because of the double-lane exit-only which confused me. Usually exits are only a single lane. I beg him not to give me a ticket but he gives me one anyway. My FIRST TIME getting pulled over for a moving violation. He comes back with a $100 ticket, but without points.

We get to the movies really late and decide to skip the movie. We walk through Franklin Mills Mall and eat dinner and shop. We make our way to Jillian’s and find out they have a $10 Tuesday special. Play all the games you want from 9pm -1am (including billiards, but excluding ticket games).
