How's Edmonton? I actually was born in Calgary!

You've been all over haven't you. Sorry to hear about your issue. Lot's of good ideas from the guys on how to get it taken cared of. Good luck man. You coming next month to Cerritos?

Didn't you give them your convincing "I'm not a terrorist" speech?!

Cop's are very generous unless you do something stupid that they saw. One example is that i was following a car that was going 35 in a 55 and I passed him on a solid dotted line at 60, just as I did that, a cop crested the hill and gave me a $500 ticket. It sucks but, when you go from a semi crappy car to a some what performance car they get ya' and get ya' hard.

Doesn't sound like it would have mattered what kind of car you were in

I have a Porsche carrera s. I never get pulled in my 370z, but I was driving the 911 that day. they target nicer cars in cali, because they think you can pay for it, but what they don't understand it that we spend our paychecks on cars, and parts.

They target nicer cars here as well, a Z is a nice car here, especially if its a younger driver ticket right away!

I may have to agree with the youner driver statement....by rights I should have been pulled over at least twice....and twice it didnt happen...I am an older female driver....Ithink they totally blow off even thinking I am going to drive contrary to the laws....they are somewhat WRONG, but hey!

What I mean is 60 in a 35... does it really matter what you're driving at that point?

Just get like extensions on your ticket once you get it ( I think you get 3 months maxed) you have to extend it every month before it is due. Then after that set up a 3 month payment plan .

I recently received my second ticket within a year of owning my Z.....what can I say, I drive my Z as for what it was built for. First ticket was a month after purchasing my Z going 80 in a 65 area. Funny story, so I missed my exit and got off at the next exit to do a U. When CHP gave me the ticket he said "I was going so fast that when he went after me I was pulling away from him and the only reason he caught me was cause I had exit the freeway"

Second ticket, driving 90 in a 65 (good thing he didn't catch me when I was doing 150

)

I just put in my order for a Z today to replace my Crown Vic that just got totaled. I haven't had a ticket since 1981. Sounds like I might break that streak driving the Z.
