I got stopped by a State Trooper yesterday about 3:30 p.m. I'd taken a fast exit from one freeway to another in 3rd gear (autostick, limited coupe), shifted into 4th and let the redline shift it into 5th. Officer was on me "bang!" Provided license. He asked if I knew how fast I was going, and I replied "80-something." I told him I'd let the engine shift it into 5th and I got out of it after it shifted. He told me it shifted at 95 mph. He asked a couple of questions about the spoiler and told me to slow down a little. No ticket; no warning; nice guy.

It does pay to be over 60 with a cane in the passenger seat.
