I work hard and have earned this great little car of mine; but just because it looks fast and racey doesn't mean I street race. I can't afford tickets so I try to always maintain within the limits. I was very distressed about you pulling me over the other day, and just wanted to express my feelings to you about this. I hope you understand this.

I'm pretty sure it has to do with my age but it still doesn't make it right. I like your idea of a letter but he won't be getting one from me just because of the way he acted. If he was more civil about it and not trying to purposely scare the crap out of me then maybe I would even though I did nothing wrong. I come from a family where most of the guys are into cars. My grandfather had a talk with me and said "I trust your judgment in driving..... you have never caused an accident or had a ticket and that's really good at your age....... I want you to drive that car however you want." My grandfather is a big inspiration to me when it comes to cars and he likes to drive his cars hard. He is actually the one who pointed me in the direction of the Crossfire. I was originally looking into buying a Mazda RX-8 but I had concerns over the reliability of the engine but I couldn't think of another car I wanted and my grandfather says "why not a Chrysler Crossfire..... they are a great car." Found one locally and took it for a test drive and bought it on the spot with no regrets what so ever. I always knew about the Crossfire but it had slipped my mind cause I knew the price they cost new and I figured this kind of car was well out of my reach but sure enough with a little research I could easily afford one of these. I drive the Crossfire and my grandfather drives the Mazda MX-5 and we usually will head out to the country roads together and toy around with each other on the twists. Cause of my grandfather I will be a car guy for life.
