Default Re: do you remember the day you got your xf?

I picked it up (07 SE) at the dealership and drove a few miles to get on the turnpike on my way to work. I gunned it to see what it could do. Seconds into that, just past a bridge embankment, I saw a state trooper car on the side of the road. I quickly braked, and noticed he was actually trying to get the radar gun up and into position. He did not follow me. I was thinking to myself I was very luck. I laughed to myself that would be embarrasing to tell anyone that in less than 7 minutes ownership I received a speeding ticket.

Google: "A compilation of stats from various law enforcement bureaus finds red cars get more tickets than any other color... except white. But white cars are much more common than red so, roughly corrected for prevalence, red seems to take the cake as a ticket magnet. Apr 22, 2018"
