    Anyone see this story about two police officers suspended for escorting super cars?

    State Police in New Jersey are investigating the police escort provided to a super car club in 2010 after this video of about a dozen cars going over 120 mph with trooper protection surfaces.

    Watch the fleet of high-priced exotics clearly speed past regular traffic at higher-than-posted-limits while some poor guy without influence in a Toyota Corolla gets a ticket from a non-escorting trooper on the side of the road.

    The guy shooting the video in the Mitsubishi Evo experiencing a police escort he calls "the highlight of my life." According to the annoying people in the Evo, this group got a police escort to drive over 120 MPH on the Garden State Parkway. There's a Ford GT, multiple Ferraris, a Porsche, a Maserati, an Audi and various other high-priced vehicles.

    It appears to be part of a rally (the videographers call it the "Gumball" but it is apparently a local Ferrari Rally in Red Bank) and the driver seems to have driven two hours to get there hoping to be a part of this drive.

    It was fun to see someone so happy then turned frightening to see someone get that close to cars traveling at high speeds and almost hit another car. Then one of the drivers gives the kids the finger.

    Its amazing how stories get blown out of proportion especially when its not accurate. That is an old video not the actual incident.


    Its only a story because a sports star was involved . This happens all the time . Move on people
