I just get in trouble with my wife for looking on here to much or driving too fast. When somebody tries me and I don't go for it she tells me "good job, I'm proud of you." THe law hasn't messed with me yet...

^ totally agree. i have had mine since august, and surprisingly enough have only been stopped once, mostly due to the cop being a jerk, but he didnt/couldnt write me a ticket. i have to keep it cool cause i cant get any more tickets. ironic how i got tickets in all my other cars, and now i actually have a fast car, i cant get anymore.

66 in a 40 on my first day having it. I was doing a REALLY hard 3rd gear pull. Man that sucked, the cop thought I was trying to bail on him when I turned off the highway to let him pull me over, I mean there was no ****ing breakdown lane!

Well I got pulled over friday night. Get this, the cop pulled me over after three blocks from tailing me then asked for driver's license, registration and insurance. He then proceed to check my window sticker. My insurance card was in my bookbag in the trunk of my car so I said to him, Officer my insurance card is in my bag, do I have your permission to exit the car and retrieve it? He said sure go ahead. He then accompanied me where I opened the trunk. He then noticed my 1/8 scale RC nitro car that I have in my trunk. After I gave him the insurance card, he said: Ah is that going to be your next car? I almost wanted to say him: are you a ****ing moron? instead I just ignored him. After all the bullsh*t he said the reaon I pulled you over was because you were travelling in the left lane for two miles and I thought you were drunk. I said to him: Drunk? I will be by 12 pm tonight. Then, he ask me how was my license, I said well I'm oretty sure that you're checking into that by now so why don't we just wait while I was smiling.

To make a long story short, he gave me my stuff back and said: try not to drive on the left lane for too long and I said sure officer.

Mind you, I was fully aware that he was talling me for three blocks. I chose to stay in the left lane and not move over because I didn't want to draw further suspicions from him. Three blocks down a local street was not 2 miles.

2) The cops have more important things to do than mess around with people driving cars with large wings.

Every cop I saw in WI would stare me down I have not had one cop do that to me in Vegas. I must have paid close to 1,500 in fines in WI for tint, exhaust and no front plate. In other words I hate Wisconsin. This is one reason I was happy to move.
Yes cops in WI don't really have much to do. Hence my wing ticket. Hey Casey can I move in?

got pulled over on the jersey turnpike, for those of you who don't know, the average speed on this highway is 85. anyways, i got paced and then pulled over for 90 in a 55. at the time, i was in the middle lane behind a car, so i was a bit confused. the cop came over, said, "You have been pulled over by a State Trooper, you were going 90 in a 55, I will now issue you a ticket." No joke, that is exactly what he said, no small talk, no bsin, just straight out. haha. Anyways, he goes back to his car, takes out a RULER of all things, goes to the front of my car and, I'm guessing, measures the height of my headlights. Anyways, he sits in his patrol car for an hour, comes back, gives me the ticket and says, "I could have given you wreckless driving with the way that you were driving. Take care of this ticket by this date. (Points to ticket) If I catch you following the flow of traffic, I will pull you over again, do not go over 55 mph." Now, I did pass a few people on the highway, but most of the time, I was in the middle lane. The highway is split into cars/trucks and cars only lanes. I was in the cars only, he was in cars/trucks. I'll get it dropped to a 0-point ticket, and I was in fact speeding, but I feel that if I were in a Hyundai or SUV, he wouldn't have even noticed.
