Actually drive what must be the most heavily patrolled hwy in the bay area. Get her up to 69 and hit the cruise control when traffic allows. Good gas milage and no tickets.

Makes for a boring ride home though.

Which one? ;)

I'll be getting one of these soon. My Escort Passport 8500 is old now. Time for an upgrade. It's been wonderful though. :tup:

I Love my 9500IX, however I have noticed that having it down low (in the car) as opposed to up high in my truck has a HUGE difference in the sensitivity for it to pick up the bands. I might look into the 9500CI next spring. I have had atleast 5 saves since I bought this detector over 2 years ago, easily paid for itself. The only thing you have to find out is if cops in your area like to use Lidar, in which case its not going to help you one bit, and infact will give you a false sense of security.

I hope you continue being spared today. Have fun and good luck.

got pulled over 3 times in the first 6 months i owned the car, but never ticketed.

one time i got pulled when me and my roommate in his sti were out crusin:


Cop: you know why i pulled u over

Me: i actually have no idea

Cop: i heard you and the subaru getting on it right in front of me. looked like u were going 10 over easily

Me: i know i wasn't speeding. u clock me at 10 over?

Cop: well no i didn't get a chance to, but i was pacing u at 10 over. also your tires crossed the double yellow back there

Me: where at?

Cop: back where the road splits to allow a turn lane

Me: (Verbally) i dont think i did that. (internally) ARE YOU F'ING KIDDING ME!!!

Cop: well i'll let u off with a warning

Me: (verbally) thank u. (internally) a warning for what!? i didnt do anything!!


the ONE TIME i actually wasn't speeding or doing anything....i know he wants to see who's driving what in a small town, but he was stretching it with that one

I have been driving for 11 years with no speeding tickets. 5 months of Z ownership and I got my first one ever. Was an automatic radar camera in an intersection. :( perfect driving record gone.

Ha I own the same couple of cars, except my Z is an 11. I got a ticket in my altima and one in my Z. Shyt happens.

Deferred adjudication will avoid the points & record :ugh2:

Automatic Radar Camera???? What facist state you live in?

I've been driving for 11 years and have had all sportscars or sport-coupes and have yet to get a ticket. Just drive the speed limit on public streets and leave early if you're worried about being late. :tup:

Now on the track is another story
