x2 on that. Since my ticket I won't do more than 5 over and even then it has to be a good reason.

You post on an f-body forum asking should you get a camaro or a wrong-wheel drive mercury? What kind of an answer do you think people are going to give you?

As for the tickets, I've gone through periods like that before. It seems like I go a while without getting pulled over at all, then all of a sudden I'm getting stopped every week. I've been good for a while though, haven't gotten pulled over in just over a year since I got caught racing a mustang in my supercharged cougar.

Use the law, don't fight it.

It's was getting really ridiculous here in VA. They were trying to hike up the fines for in state residents only. I think it was gonna be like $2000 for a reckless ticket...

I heard that VA was the worst with their speeding laws and enforcement. At least here in OH they have to use marked cars to enforce traffic laws.

Down here they are using Tahoes Blazers and assorted other unmarked vehicles. So you have to keep an eye on anything you pass!!!

Getting a ticket for no front plae is a bunch of crap. You really have to be bored to issue that ticket. I haven't had a front plate for years and haven't been harassed yet.

Same here, but we only have one Charger. Thats the Sherriff's. Turnso ut he paid like 70k for it I say since tax dollars paid for it, everyone in my county should get to drive that car for an hour a year.
