Those are SCCCHWEEET! I also like the new GT3. Yet we are a family of 4 so he got the Cayenne Turbo. Someone told him that he now officially owns the most expensive SUV, eek. That thing ROCKS! It is still a total sports car and w/ the low profile it moves. I've got to get the book out and study that baby, then I'll know more about his car than he will .

MoMark --- did you even see there was a person? Never mind the cane and the fact that he/she didn't see YOU. :-)

Yeah, let me do the driving too. :-))

Yeah! This was in San Francisco back in the late 80's and I was late for class at SFSU and trying to get there quickly from the Richmond and I saw the person....
I let the person pass but I didn't leave much room between my truck and the curb and the cop thought I almost clipped the person. I don't remember if it was a man or woman and I didn't notice the person was blind! Or the cane! I was just thinking...get out of my way! I'm late!

My first ticket ever was just last fall. I was driving by a park and going about 10 miles over the speed limit. My kids were in teh van with me and we were only about a mile from home. The cop came flying out of the parking lot with lights on. His first question "did you know you were speeding?" Uh yeah I figured that out very quick. With my license in hand he asked "so what's the speed limit on this road?" I made up a speed because I honestly didn't remember, even though I travel on that street almost every day.

My daughter was in the backseat worried that I was going to jail for speeding. Thought I'd get off since it was the middle of the day and had little ones in the van. Guess the guy had a quota to fill. I paid the ticket because I also realized that this being the first time I was caught...I deserved it. And I do follow the speed limit on that road...especially by the park.

Default Well he finally caught me this morning

When I go out to get the paper the cops have never been able to catch me in the new Yaris, I red line it to 130 MPH all the way down to the coffee shop tires smoking.

This morning they finally caught me but they cheated. I did see him coming in my rearview mirror. Snapped him with my new camera too. No ticket, they wanted to warn me about driving in second gear for the entire trip.

Got pulled over in KY on my wife's birthday this year, the "Revenue Enhancement Agent" gave me a $158 ticket for a headlight out.

Once my mom got pulled over and the officer told her that he clocked her at 80mph in a 65 zone. Without thinking, she said, "Oh, I couldn't be. I had my cruise control set at 75!" He laughed and gave her a warning.
