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

)

What was he a CHP on a harley ?

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.

I think you will.

One thing I found with the Crown Vic was that it seemed like a cop repeller. I don't know if they thought I was their grandmothers friend or perhaps a supervisor. On those few occasions that I accidently blundered into one of those small-town speed traps at highway speed, they just flashed their lights at me to catch my attention and warn me to slow down. I always gave a cheerful wave when that happened and eased up a bit. I think those days may be over.

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

I think it's cute how people assume they are just going to get a ticket for driving a Z.

No, you'll get a ticket for breaking the law.

i had a used cop car, chevy caprice, with the push bumpers on the front and everything. Looked like an unmarked car, it was great, people always let me go first at stop signs, people slowed down for me!

My mechanic got pulled over in my old Z car for not having a front plate. Last ticket I paid was 1986. Any other tickets have gone to court where I won.

I got a ticket a while back going 77 on a 55. It is a road on the mountain and I was going downhill. I was not even giving her gas just gravity being gravity I was not paying attention and Bam saw the cop but it was to late. I tried to tell the cop that I was not accelerating and it was just the downhill speed but he did not care. anyways my ticket was $228 and some change. Very expensive ticket and my insurance went up 50 bucks.

I would never put a front plate on my Z. I will just continue to pay my 80 dollar fee.
