I guess I've got to make sure that I stay in the neighborhood of a Porsche, 'Vette, or maybe even a Mustang so they get the nod rather than me. I chalk it up to the meat in the back. Those rear tires can look pretty ominous. To the cops' credit, both times I was only given a warning--and not written.
Welcome to the club. I got my first speeding ticket in 2008 for around 10mph over the limit, just months after I bought my Crossfire.

The last "ticket" I got was about 15 years prior.

I bought a Valentine One and that saved me a lot of grief for a year and a half. Of course, I can't use it now that I'm in Virginia, but that's a whole different story
