My Escape

Alright, so I have another story to throw out there. I got a kick out of it and felt like a 16 year old teenager while it was happening…and loved every second of it! So last Saturday (June 6, 2009) I am running late going from one extreme of the city to the other for a Saturday morning training for my business. I am running way late and needed to get there on time. As I pulled up to the building I noticed NO parking spots anywhere and so I looked around and saw a spot somewhere else nearby. I did notice a NO PARKING sign, but since there were a bunch of other cars parked there I thought it would be no big deal. I parked and ran into the training. About 4 hours later I walked out and EVERY single car was gone except my car…..but about 20 yards away I saw 4 police officers talking to a guy in a tow truck and pointing him to my car….so as soon as the police officers turned there heads back to talk to the tow truck guy, I casually walked in that direction….as I came to my car I did the automatic unlock, made a quick break towards my car, opened the door as fast as I could jumped in and sped off like I have never sped in my life. The 4 police officers started chasing after my car….I seriously thought they were gonna put bullets into my tires for a second then I turned the corner and no bullets. I later talked to some of the people that were there at the training with me and they mentioned the police officers were cussing and cursing and saying every word about the pinche gringo pendejo…..and that they were gonna find me even if it meant crossing the border for me!! I thought I was going to die laughing. I would love to have been a spectator of my own escape. I only regret not having a superman cape on hand….or a batman cape, or any kind of cape for that matter. There was no way on earth I was gonna have my car hauled into the impound in Mexico. There is one last detail that cracked me up. I drive a Subaru…which is not too common in Mexico and I have US (Utah) plates on my car. I later noticed that had written me a ticket and the put that the make of my car was a Mitsubishi and that it had no plates. Nothing else was filled out….I loved it! There is no way on earth I am paying that ticket! I felt like a total troublemaker……what a great day!
