RE: 1st Pig Sticker
Yeah whatever with the PIG thing.
The problem I notice with this car is that everybody wants to get close and check you out on the freeway. Happens all the time, sometimes funnier than others... So I'm driving along at 75-80 and this guy in a little pickup holding onto the steeringwheel for dear life tries to get close to me. So I just go faster. Now I am going along at 90mph and I feel like I am driving 55 and this guy is pushing his poor little truck as hard as he can to go 90mph. And I can see it on his face, his engine is about to blow. Just barely touching the gas I am now doing 100+ and the guy finally gives up. I just wanted to see if he could get his little truck going that fast. High speeds don't feel like anything big in this car. Smooth as can be. It feels natural to go that fast. Like taking off from a stop. I have to wrap it out. I can't get my self to shift at low RPMs. The car doesn't want to. So before I know it I am going 75-80 shifting in 4th...
No ticket yet but I can already see them coming from a mile away.
This pony was made to ride.

RE: 1st Pig Sticker
Wow! I guess I got under a few skins with this title. Sorry, not!
(History) I was in a 1/4 mile club with my 69' Camaro in HighSchool and anyone stopped by a "police officer" recieved a Pig Sticker by us that had to be displayed on your winshield. It was a sort of punishment for those who got them because the local cops knew what they for and the more you had...duh but here's the kicker THEY WERE THE ONES PUTTING THEM ON THE CARS AT THE LOCAL TRACK! Yes thats right police officers race too! and they also have a sense of humor!!!!

RE: 1st Pig Sticker
Why didnt you tell the dude that you thought you were going 78??
If I had been cited for doing 90 when I knew I was only going 78 I would have got his badge number and reported him and taken it further......saying that I live in England now and the police are alot 'softer' over here with less strict laws - I guess cause the police have more power over there you have to be a little more careful.......even so though - 90 when you were only going 78, not very fair!!!

RE: 1st Pig Sticker
nickbrace: Well I consider myself lucky, 90 was just cruzin' speed that weekend, as my earlier post said I was only doing 78 when he busted me. My ticket says AIRCRAFT PATROL. With further investigation I found that big white stripes are painted every few yards/meters so that from the air they can calculate your speed. That sucks, now we need to look up too! [:@]
