Default Re: Another Traffic Stop

I have 4,000 miles on the Graphite in 6 weeks.

I have 21,000 miles on the Red one in 20 months - been pulled over ONCE for almost 60 in a 45 - no ticket.

I am always over the limit by 5 or 10 and sometimes by 25! I keep thinking that, SOMEDAY I'm gonna get nabbed for being at least 20 over and I KNOW I've got to slow it down, but the 6 speed is just too much fun to wind thru the gears.

I always said I'd drive a stick slower and more conservatively cause I"m bored with the auto - but the fact is, this has not been the case. I'm worse with the 6 speed. WAY WORSE.


But, I'm somewhat smart about when and where and for how long to speed - you can't just SPEED all of the time.

I expected the Red one to be a cop magnet - turns out, both cars are BABE magnets, but not cop magnets.
