first (and hopefully last) time getting pulled over
so, heading home tonight from dropping off the daughter at dance class. cruising along and feeling a little frisky weaving in and out of traffic. got the stones 'exile on main street' on the radio. jump over a lane and forget to hit the turn signal. constable on my tail notices, though. lights me up. "license and insurance, please." comes back, says i looked like i was in a hurry and frustrated with traffic. told him "no, just being stupid with this car i just got." he asks me, "so how much it got, 3-something?" told him no, it's 412 hp. lets me off with a warning and says he loves mustangs, too. he said "no problem, i understand. tonight you just had the po-po behind you." classic shiite, man. classic.

Sweet. But I also hope it makes you a bit less frisky in traffic. Save the friskies for the open road... Like I did on my way home from work today... no traffic ahead of me as I turned onto the highway, no PO-lice in sight, RD quiet as a mouse, 0-100 in no time, bouncing off the rev limiter but then drifted down that 35 MPH back to the PSL of 65... Yeah, baby.

As a grandfather of 4, I can confirm all of the above!!! For me what counters the stupidity is the possibility (or rather guarantee) of shelling out more cash in fines & insurance (after that 1st one)!
