Do forged tickets have anything to do with forged pistons?

"Social Medial Tool forges ticket in attempt to make time with the ladies, actually drives Infinity"
Or
"Embellished Story wins small time blogger big time publicity"

Either way, kudos to Philip for making it shocking enough, yet believable enough to get on Top Gear.
We all hate you and we're all jealous of you.

From now on we should officially know Philip Odegaard as "Bugatti Guy"

Probably the best line I've ever heard on top gear. By captain slow, nonetheless.

I think its hilarious that Clarkson consider California to be a place of tremendous freedom. But I guess things are that bad in England that even the totalitarian state of Kali looks anarchist in comparison.

And this comes as a surprise?

I think we had this one figured out as a fake as soon as the story broke. There were just too many things that didn't sit right about it. In any case, I thought it was hilarious that he was driving a 2004 Infiniti, and not a Veyron like he tried to claim. I feel bad for the poor guy for having to pull stunts like this simply to get some sort of self-worth.

Also, Kudos to the Jalopnik editors and the Jalopnik commentariat for know a load of bull when they see it. And for making Clarkson look like a moron.

@pauljones: Agreed. Jalopnik already flagged this a fake a long time ago. If anyone is surprised then they're not paying much attention.

I wonder if forging or altering a ticket can get a guy in trouble? You would think it would since the Guberment frowns on screwing with anything it has all ready screwed up.

@lilwillie heart clicks GM: Yes, yes it can.

Improperly messing with state or federal documents can land you in a load of trouble, as my college room mate found out the hard way when he attempted to take a fake draft notice that I had given him over state borders.

He had some explaining to do when they found that.

@pauljones: Of course in this case he wasn't trying to make use of this document for official stuff, he was just trolling. I don't live in the US, so I don't know the laws there, but I seriously doubt this could get you into any kind of trouble.

@lilwillie heart clicks GM: I was driving up I-85 north here in Atl. 6-7 years ago In my beater '91 LeSabre, fairly heavy traffic on a Saturday. As I was passing the Doraville GM plant a white Caddy passed me on the right at a considerably higher speed, my car was also white. 20-30 seconds later I have blue lights in my rearview. I pull over and the officer asks "do you know why"....you know the drill. I tried to explain that I had just been passed by a similar looking vehicle and that it wasn't me that was going 90+ mph. I was very upset when he returned with a ticket to be signed for 92 in a 55 IIRC. I signed the bottom of the ticket FUCK YOU. He looked at the ticket and then back at me and said, "That's real mature, have a nice day". After I calmed down and considered what I had done , I knew I wouldn't have a chance when a judge saw the ticket, so I paid it and learned to never let my temper control any situation. Anyway, to answer your question, I don't know.

@InfinitisEnd:If I were the judge I would have laughed at the cop and say "You honestly want me to believe you caught a guy in a '91 POS speeding? Come on. You've got to be pulling my leg." A cop on a bike could have pulled you over, lol. :-)

Well he tried it at 1:35am and I'm guessing passed a speed trap or a cop coming from the other direction. I'm really surprised they didn't arrest him for reckless driving, endangerment, or some other charge.

Typical young rich kid with a sense of immortality going for kicks on public roads. I really want to see the Judge's reaction to this one. I hope he gets Judge Judy!

OK, I have a problem with this ticket. You can be arrested for exceeding 100. 210 is JAILABLE.

I am NOT at all surprised that this occurred on the 73 tollroad in Orange County, what I'm surprised at is the fact that there were CHP on the 73 FWY at all. I've never seen a chippie on that particular stretch of road. Back in the day, I used to go out there at 2 or 3 am and do my "autobahn" runs since the freeway was dead empty. He obviously wasn't doing his speed run late enough at night.

Idiot.

Is it even possible to reach speeds of greater than 40 mph on Southern California freeways?

@philibuster: Yes. I can probably manage 90 on the way to work in the morning (granted I leave at 4:30 am), and I usually average 65 going home at about 6:30-7:00 pm.

He's 22?! Lock him up. And give me the Veyron.

210+ eh? Sounds like a new high score!

A $500 fine is merely the entry fee. Here in Ontario, I'm fairly sure you get the death penalty for going that fast.

If you are a "Social Media Mogul" that recklessly breaks the law and posts the photgraphic evidence of same on the web, perhaps you should take the time smudge your address sufficiently to avoid jerks like me figuring out what street you live on. Dumbass!

So he was on 73, going 210 mph, and gets pulled over. OK, I'll bite. Was he wearing his pants?
