I'm down for an MD meet, but we should probably start another thread for it. Not fair on you VA guys for us to plan it in this thread LOL

I"m at the hotel getting ready to head over to Summit Point Raceway. I think we drive at 10AM so I"ll see you guys next weekend. Wherever we meet I will consider. It is an opportunity to drive!

what gives?
so, chickened out about parking my Z on the streets of the bronx, so drove my toyota matrix up there.
Had new radar detector (cheap, windshield type).i was doing 80, but being so careful. next thing I know, a MD state trooper accelerates from behind me and stays next to me for a brief second. stupid radar detector NEVER even blipped. i basically slammed on yhe brakes, slowed down to 60 and got behind grandma, waiting fir the cop to pull me over, but he never did. I think he followed me for 3-5 minutes, although it felt like an eternity. why did the cop let me go? why didnt the radar detector go off? crap.. if i was in the Z he would have skinned me alive, Predator style still travelling, typed on my phone

If the detector didn't go off maybe he didn't have his radar on. I'm not an expert on this subject, so I may be off base here (anyone can correct me here), but I dont think he could write you a ticket citing his speedometer told him that you were going to fast. He probably needs that radar readout as evidence of your speeding.

He probably just didn't have his radar on. He could have blasted you at any moment with the radar but he was probably being lazy.

The speed estimation thing just irritates me. Only speeding ticket I ever got was an estimation ticket, he "estimated" me at 67 in a 60...it stuck in court due to being in a small town.... |

I heard from somebody that you can ask to see the radar readout to as proof of your speeding. If they can't produce it, then you may be able to get out of the ticket in court. I don't know how true that statement is...

That doesn't really matter to me, though. The GT is wicked! And Rick, maybe if you came to the meets more than once in never I would have kept the Z. :P

6-8 weeks from when I place the order.
I might be coming to the Z meets in a Buick for a while.
