    Andy,

    I hope your not trying to copy me and have 3 speeding tickets in less than 7 months like I had in my Civic last year. Maybe it's a Honda thing and the cops are just being racist. Discrimination I tell ya , Discrimination!!
    Btw I have to vouch a radar dectector has saved my ass twice this year.

    Andy -

    Don't do that on the streets. I have a wife and child who use those roads too.

    Go to the FCA event with David at Roebling, or come up to VIR with the NC crew.

    nope i got two tickets cuz i was speeding. and if i was 16 and had a 350Z i would have tickets too. most 16 yo's driving around in a 280hp car aren't going to be driving slow, therefore i threw you into the stereotypical 16 yo category considering we are all about performance driving lol and figured you speed every so once in a while too ;)
