Well I've gone and done it...
On my way to a car event in Cool Springs, TN called Cars and Coffee I got a speeding ticket.
Fun fact: Going over 100 mph in Williamson County Tennessee gets you 48 hours in jail. My ticket 97 in a 70. It'll cost me $217. I had an excellent time though, 2 Challenge Stradales, 1 612 Scaglietti, 1 355, 1 360 Modena, 1 360 Spyder, several P cars and a Mclaren Mercedes SLR. What beautiful cars, and some really awesome car guys... Oh we had the new Porsche Panamera. |

Just be thankful it wasn't in Georgia or it would be an additional $200.

I can't believe in two years of driving my roadster like a teenager I haven't gotten a ticket. I don't want to jinx my luck by saying anything.....so, I wont.

Re: Well I've gone and done it...
I selectively speed. My weakness is what law enforcement terms exhibition acceleration ,however with the SRT what seem like a routine launch, qualifies for a violation. Fortunately so far, I have escaped detection. Our little aero blue roadster has been an enjoyment to own and drive. Everywhere my wife and I go, we meet people we would never have met had it not been for the interest they express in this vehicle. Young and old stare and give us thumbs up, as we drive by. Were anxiously awaiting Spring so we can take the roaster and motorcycle out of hibernation. This Fall I acquired a Yamaha v-star silverado 1100, which I was only able to ride 500 miles before putting it away for the winter. My wife has never before been willing to ride with me , but she recently purchased a full set of leathers so it looks like I am going to have an occassional passenger. She has always enjoyed rather spirited rides in the Crossfire, so I am anxious to see her reaction to an aggressive motorcycle ride. Happy motoring!

Looks like it was a fun event. http://www.pbase.com/image/120798388.jpgI've seen a couple Panamera's around town. At first glance, I'm like "WTF is that?" :o I'm undecided as to what I think about them. I bet the Porsche purist are in disgust. |
