I was on the highway i believe I-495 oaster bay or something. I was in the left lane with nobody in front of me in sight and just completely straight. I stupidly decided to give it some gas, not a lot and in front of me about 80 feet ahead I see a highway patrol come out of the F%#^ bushes and go in front of me. Then he slows down, gets behind me and puts on his lights. We pull over and he tells me he clocked me at 89 mph in a 55 and i should be going to jail right now. Instead he just gave me a ticket. Not gonna lie he wasn't an ass hole like i was expected but still sucks. My fault

90 in a G8 feels like 50 in most cars.

+1

My wife commented the other day that the speedo must be off because, "there's no way we're doing 100".

lol

We were.

yes exaclty i know. The car is so damn smooth its ridiculous. DAMN IT! Is it true that cops give out their tickets at the end of the month to fill their quota's? That's what everybody keeps telling me. Everybody gets their tickets at the end of the month.

Cops say it ain't so. I dunno.

I have friends and family that are cops...its against the law to have quotas
so they call them "goals". the Lt's want a certain # so their boss is happy.
Its all about money.

Got one the other day going to work.... in my 4-banger Toyota truck! If I was in the G8 I would've been tempted to ask for another run!

Yeah, just got one for 78 in a 55 in Oregon. No radar as the Escort didn't peep, but I missed him as was a motorcycle Sheriff Dep. in the bushes. About 10 seconds before he clocked me I was at 108 to pass a few. WHEW!

My wife also said the exact same thing. She was in the fast lane behind a numbnuts going slow so she punched at about 65ish to pass him in the slow lane. When she looked down after going around him she said she was doing 115. I told her that those cost alot of money so make it worth it if you get a ticket. Now she is wanting to drive the car more too! Not good for me.

LOL!

One of the first warnings I got from friends was that I would get unwanted attention on my scandalous liquid red G8…They were right.
But they haven’t been able to nail me on the road yet, on account of one of my essential road warrior weapons, which is an Escort that I hope to start a tread on the gadgets section listing in detail all the good, the bad and the ugly about it soon…Unless I get banned … :rules:

But they still got me! :spc:
I got nailed outside the Island View Casino on the Gulf coast for a b\s parking violation.
And when I say b\s it was b\s, as there were no “no Parking signs” on the side I parked and on the list of offences listed on the back of the ticket, none applied to me except for “other” which was not explained. So when i got back from inside i had a $20.00 present on my W\S. :eek:

But It serves me as a lesson I had learned a long time ago but apparently I had a senior moment that day and forgot, that being always park in private parking. And the thing is, private parking was free and next to it…But to make a faster getaway I had to…@*#%$!

Honestly I think the guy just wanted an excuse to get next to my girl and frisk her a little bit. :jerkoff:

Talk about getting railroaded! :hang:
Cheers!
