when was it? date? how it happened? pics? tell us all you want. how you felt. this is the place!
i can tell you about mine:
1st of all, the date: perhaps some dont remember it. but for me, it was so easy that i couldnt forget it. even all of you will remember it: it was the 4th of july! (2019)
i was searching for a replacement of my nice automatic transmission car (ford fusion), preferably manual, for it is the way i feel i have more control of the car.
searching in the internet for cars nearby, happened to show 1 xf. i had seen some rarely and always considered the most beautiful car, but never had the chance to see 1 parked-and the price was about what i was aiming! i couldnt believe my eyes. anyway, managed to go and see it in detail, and was able to sit on the drivers seat, and even test drive it! the deal didnt materialize, but found another 1 nearby that fulfilled my needs and got it. i had been searching for data and found a lot at this forum, so it made my decision easier. the sun was shinning, my son drove me in, and when i was taking pictures, the dealer took a picture of me and my son.

now is your turn!

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"
