Got caught by "Instant On Ka" on Interstate 85 at 8 AM 2 Sunadys ago. I was taking my 67 Y.O. sister to the Atlanta airport and when there was NO traffic in front of us, I ask her if she "would like to see how fast she is"?
I floored it @ 75 and accelerated through 130 when "BEEEEEEEEEEEP". I scrubbed off ~ 20 MPH and pulled over immediately. The trooper was very nice, but cited me for 109 in a 70 zone. No reckless due to there being no traffic.
When he walked up to the car, he asked if there was any reason I was going so fast? I replied: "Officer, is there ever any reason for going that fast? I was just showing my sister my little sports car".

And that's exactly what he wrote on the citation!
