Default How long till first ticket for ya?

Got pulled over by a cop yesterday. Picked up my stang 10/15 and got stopped on 10/31, so 16 days for me, almost.

Real cool cop, he clocked me at 56 in a 40 but he let me off with a warning. Maybe he picked on the fact that i was totally pissed at myself for getting pulled over since I wasn't even tying to speed. If I get a ticket I wanna earn it!

unlike a girl that works with me, 132 in a 70, he asked did she realize how fast she was going , she said 135, he said no 132, she, being nice looking , says, hmmmm, i need to go to dealer, the speedometer is off, and she got away with warning.. take that car up to UP and get on the Senie stretch and open it up, lol

One thing I'm really worried about is the ticket factor with my new ride. I own a Toyota Tacoma now.. Many times I've thought I should be getting pulled over but they always let me slide.. Don't think thats going to be the case with the new ride..

It's instinctive for a cop to go after the hot cars.. Kind of like a dog chasing a bone, they cant help themselves..

Yeah, got me one of those "arrest me red" ones too. No tickets yet. Only 95mph so far. It's the 0 to 80 that gives me a warm fuzzy!

Got my first one within 100 miles. Speed trap - from 65 to 45. I was still doing 65. No warning. Nice warm ticket right on the spot.
