Is my car insecure?

The other day I cracked the 100 mph mark on the highway for the first time in a couple of months, and the "SECURITY" light came on until I backed it off under 90.
Is my car trying to tell me something:lol2:?
If it wanted me to slow down, a "CHECK ENGINE" light would have been more effective. Crazy car.....:screwy:
(Do not respond to this with advice, it's a joke post, for those who a bit slow on the draw)
But the light did come on. It does every now and then. I act like I don't see it. But any red light on the dash at over 100 mph catches my attention quickly...:eek:

I still wanna know what's different about my car than other LS models of the same year.
I've been told that the 3.1 models are supposed to be governed at 96 mph or something like that? I've always been able to get this one well over the 100 mph mark, showing about 115 when it lays down and quits accelerating.
I had my friend with the 9C1 pace me for the calibrated police speedo opinion, and he says he was showing 112 when I flattened out. That is more in the realm of the LTZ's top end I think, but they of course had the 3.8 and upgraded brakes and suspension.
I suspected when we bought the car that it might have been part of a fleet order that didn't go through or something, white with medium blue cloth interior, no pinstripes or exterior upgrades except for the LS package wheels. it just had that utility look to it that attracts me for some reason. I mounted the LTZ wing just because I think it completes the shape of the rear deck, and looks slightly more menacing than without. Just about killed me to drill big holes in my brand new car's trunk:eek:
It was fun for the first year or so, because the cops in town got Luminas to replace the aging Caprices at the same time, but went to full size Crown Vics the next year. So it made people nervous to see it behind them, especially if they were doing something they shouldn't be :uhoh: :lol:
I must have some kind of warped sense of humor about that stuff. Nothing cracks me up better than being in the far right lane on the highway and seeing some hotshot flying down the fastlane, right as they go by I'll stomp it and match their speed, hanging back just inside his blind area pacing him from the right lane....
All he can tell is that there is a non-descipt white sedan pacing him suddenly where there had been nothing a moment before, and he can't quite make out what it is...:eek: time to ease off the gas and straighten up into that "law abiding citizen" position and abandon the "gangsta lean":evillol:
I got in a weird incident a month or so ago where this dillrod cut me off on the highway, to which I reacted not one bit, continuing to follow him at exactly the distance he was at when he cut over, about 3 feet or less. Then he starts doing the brake taps trying to get me to drop back. Hey! I didn't choose this spacing, you did, asshole.
I guess he got tired of it and finally decided to move over a lane and get out of my way. But when he saw me going for an exit down the road a bit, he waited until I was 100% comitted to the ramp, then layed on his horn and threw me the finger long and high out his window over the roof.
Oh, so you're one of those, huh? Can't drive right, and mad at the world about it? I got something for ya', buddy. I love my exit. There's a double left turn lane at the top, with unobstructed view of the crossroad in all directions, and a straight shot through to the on ramp for situations just like this. I never dropped below 60, and stood on it as soon as my tires hit the on ramp.
Wide open it took just seconds to catch back up with Mr. Dipshit. I pulled alongside him and looked over, he looked like he'd just seen a ghost:eek::evillol: I backed off and dropped in behind him at a respectable distance and continued to tail him, talking to big trucks on the CB the whole time until I located a trio that were willing to help a fellow CDL driver give a little grief to a roadhog.
Just before overtaking them, I sprinted ahead of him and gave him the same careless way too close ignorant lane change he gave me earlier, with the same one finger salute he graced me with. Now if the guy has any balls at all, he can't let this slide. As I passed the last truck, that driver slid over, cutting this guy off and then allowed the second truck to pass him on the right. Of course the dipshit then tries to follow, at which point the third truck in line closes up the gap, and the front truck slows down, sealing him up in the right lane with a truck ahead, behind, and to the left of him, and no way out but the shoulder.
My victim is now in the clutches of the time-honored 18 wheeler rolling roadblock, he's not going anywhere fast until they let him. I thanked my boyz for the favor, and asked them to toy with him for as long as traffic wasn't bottled up behind them. Being cheerfully helpful and starved for entertainment as most over the road truckers are, they graciously complied.:rofl:
I went on about my business of driving 15 miles back to my exit, with the kind of happy satisfaction that comes from a job well done.:iceslolan

lol jeffco that is some funny stuff haha. i wish i had a cb in my car i would be all over for the truckers. man that guy deserved it, he probably went home and banged his head in the wall some times hahaha.
my 73 cheyenne 454 has a CB and some ricer had cut me off once and didnt notice i have a extended bumper... so i hit the brakes and my truck just started to swerve. that thing scared the living shit out of me haha. so i sped up on the asshole and got my truck about 3 inches from his back bumper. He took off (mind we are doing about 65) i gave him a little bit of distance, and i just opened up those secondaries. all i hear is glasspack just going WHOMMMMMMPP!!!!!! he turned and looked to see my big ol chuggin truck comming for him.the little guy got over 2 lanes real fast, and i just zoomed past probably doing about 85. i let off the gas since i dont want to blow my engine, 4 6 3 gears and 12 bolt posi is awesome :) but that truck is not for speed it is for torque and power. too abd its not like a 71 or something with that 454, would have had another 100+ horsepower haha.
my truck also has an I Oooooga horn :) from a 53 chevy hehe
