Crap - Got My First Ticket

[S592R]

Pockets they could get you for "abandoned vehicle" except you wax it everyday.

got a 95 in 70 in 1076 .... Thankfully the ticket was out of state. ... first trooper had no since of humor when I answered "Have no idea how fast I was going but I was turning 2200 rpm." Definitely not a car guy.

and a warning in 1161 (no front tag)

The warning was after talking to a FOMOCO fan for 25 minutes. :thumbsup who was quite amazed that the car was only turning 2400 in 6th .... :banana:banana
definitely ... a car guy!!!

No tickets for me in GT. Many others though in the rest of the fleet. Drivingschoolonline.com is a winner. For $31 you can graduate with honors, and you don't have to sit with the usual riff-raff (like drivers of white cars) for the day or evening.

White cars don't get tickets... they are too fast!!!

:biggrin

face it - you losers are unlucky SOB's

Yep, one unlucky SOB in A Ford GT - ain't life a bitch? (hey - it rhymes)

Only 68??????

Actually, I'm am glad it was only the 68. There actually was a BRIEF MOMENT (the ONLY other time I have ever been over the limit) before where I apparently also exceed the limit. It could have been worse, much worse :wink. Problem was it was a white car at night (needed a black car to be stealth). White is good in the day.

Definitely was not a car guy.

Oh, please sit with us. We want to know you guys that have those other colors - so we can ask you "what were you thinking"
PLEASE........

I got pulled over for the first time yesterday, in my FGT, because I don't have a license plate on the front. I told the cop the plate would cause the car to overheat due to the reduced airfllow and he said OK - and let me go. He did say most other cops won't be buying that story and good luck.

Sorry to hear that Larry!
If it helps to consol you, I got a criminal speed contest ticket last summer!

Not in my GT, but my S63. Got lined up at a light next to a cute blonde in an E63, she challenged me, and we punched off when the light turned green...... $5k in legal fees later, my wife and I got our matching his and hers drag racing tickets reduced to plain old speeding cuz of our previous clean records. I guess I should frame them.....

He's right about that. The WSP dude in charge of granting front plate EXEMPTIONS (down in Olympia) holds the same view regarding that argument.

I'm actually surprised you've driven you GT here in Wash. St. for as long as you have WITHOUT being pulled over for it.

i got pulled over the first week I got mine, but thankfully the cops were more interested in looking the car over then they were in giving me a ticket, so I got a warning.:wink

Same here!

Hadn't been pulled over in over 2 years. As an aside, just recently got pulled over for 76 in a 60 in my Navigator....by the time I looked at the ticket, the officer had neglected to fill out the "offense" section altogether! No defensive driving for me! :cheers

Cops are everywhere here. Every time I think about letting her run, out pops a cop and I'm glad I didn't let the devil have his way. Have any of you ever wondered about putting a cruise control in your cars? It is very easy to speed in these cars. Just roll your big toe a little in your shoe and the speedo jumps a quarter of an inch and you're going 10 mph faster in a second. I'm constantly checking my speed while driving and have often wished I had cruise control so I could relax a little and I wouldn't have to stare at the speedo all the time to prevent getting a ticket.

Would it be difficult or advisable to install cruise control?

Around this area our traffic IS our "cruise control"... :bored :thumbsdow
