Dear State Troopers:
 
WHY do you feel the need to tail me?
Is it me...the blonde driving a sports car?
(Get over it. I'm old and I have a boyfriend.)
Or is it...the Z?
(It's a Black Cherry Z. What else ya need to know?)
Signed: LEAVE ME ALONE ALREADY!!

had my car 3 days and got a ticket. since then i've got 4 more and 1 tint ticket. tint is EXACTLY the same as on my silver charger and i don't drive the Z any differently than the charger. cops selectively enforce laws on whom they deem it fitting. ftp

TX_370 06-24-2011 07:59 AM

I got 1 ticket for failure to switch lanes without signaling. Also, I had a TEXAS state trooper let me go for doing 103 in a 65 (I-10 heading to Houston from San Antonio).

Only times I have ever been pulled over.

:wtf2:

Red__Zed 06-24-2011 08:03 AM

but :pics: so we can better evaluate why exactly it is that they are tailing you.

Hadn't had a ticket in DECADES. Had the Z less than 2 months, and got a ticket for 60 in a 45. Trooper was a young d***. Now I've been tailed TWICE since. Drove 35 in a 45, & was followed for miles! D***. Sounds like I'd better get used to it. :shakes head:

Yeah I've had some like that too. To a large degree it just depends on the cop who spots you, but another big factor is how safely you're driving. A lot of cops are pretty pragmatic about coming down hard on guys who are recklessly weaving traffic, but letting off those that are speeding relatively safely on open stretches.

Trust me...it's the car, not me.

Driving 15 over the limit around here (Northern Virginia) will always get you a ticket. Driving 10 under will get you attention also as it can appear you are trying to be extra careful because you don't want to get pulled over. This can be the case when a driver has had a couple drinks and notices the tail. of course it could also be the fact that they notice a pretty lady driving a hot car ;)

Agreed. In the trooper's defense; it was residential (country) & it was rainy. In my defense; I was travelling DOWNHILL when he clocked me. :ugh2:

But I *was* doing the speed limit when the Trooper saw me, turned completely around and started tailing me. That's when I slowed to 35, and yes, it was just to p*** him off. I'm kinda over it at this point.

For the record I do wanna state, I am not driving ANY differently in this car that I did my previous sporty convertibles. I truly believe it's the Z stigma, but I'm wondering if it's my color choice, too. What if my Z Roadster was white, or blue, you know?

For some reason I can't help but think about the Family Guy episode where Peter finds out he's black.

*Peter gets pulled over*

Cop: Hey, you're that black guy who got all that money right?.
Peter: Yup that's me..
Cop: (Into walkie-talkie) Yeah, we've got a stolen vehicle here..
Peter: What are you talking about, this is my car..
Cop: Suspect's getting beligerent..
Peter: What the hell are you talk....
Cop: Officer Down..
*Cop falls to the ground*

It's :icon17: and :shakes head: all in one.

shado's black cherry attracts mustang 5.0's usually, they pull over for a violent sex session and then go back on their way... as if nothing happened.

RandyD 06-24-2011 10:00 AM

i was pulling in a parking area the other day, and cut off 2 bicycle policemen... the first one, a guy, drove behind me, the second a girl, stopped, smiled, and said 'sweet' as i passed by. (top down)...

kenchan 06-24-2011 10:42 AM
