Running From The Police..., Bimmer + Hills + 100+mph = Fun

Well I guess I'll share my story with all.

I was driving home to New Jersey from Cornell this past weekend. I bought my friend's Escort off him this past winter, because there are tons of State and Local Police on the highways on my way down. On I-79, I-380, I-80, etc... its annoying. So now with my radar I can cut my trip down by about 30-45 min.
But I digress. I was crusin on I-380 in PA going about 120 or so, but if anyone knows 380, it has many hills. I was making great time and hadnt picked up any cops yet. I probably should have slowed down, becasue I got to a section where there is a series of about 5-6 steep downhills and then steep uphills, but I just decided to floor it on the up hills to keep going about 110-115 or so. Anyways, as I get to the crest of the last hill I think I'm home free but then my radar goes CRAZY
It is dusk, so it is getting hard to see, but I see the cop pull out of the bushes and put on his lights. I look around and see the last exit for like 5 miles, so I dart across two lanes and just barely get the exit. I continue on the exit ramp and get to a light. Since I cant see well, I almost turn into a military base.
Making a quick U-turn I head down a seemingly deserted road, only a few houses and some boarded up businesses. I see a truck pulled over on the side of the road for the night, so I pull up behind him, hiding myself from the road. I get out and go up on a little hill to see if i can see up the road. I sit on a little hill and wait for about 15min. No signs of a cop. I call my friend to get me back on the highway but about 5miles down. He gets me back on and I sail home, but this time only doing 85 so as not to attract attention.

Well that is my adventure, hope you enjoy it.
