Damn it! My record has been clean for so long & in less than 2 weeks that I've had the car, I got a ing speeding ticket! And the worse part, it was 45 in a 30!! Ugh! Hope this isn't a bad start of something..... Let me know your stories!!!




(maybe the S is a target
maybe the cops are just hatin on me!)

Actually you're the first one. It's unbelievable I know, but until now the cops have treated us like royalty. Thanks for messing it up for the rest of us. just kidding. About 6 months after I got my car I got 2 speeding tickets within an hour. It sucked!!!

Never had a speeding ticket, but around here if it's your first time they will let you off easier (lesser penalty, no demerit points) so you usually have a little leeway first time around.. I don't have an S, but in whatever I drive, I usually try to obey the speed limit because I can't afford a speeding ticket, especially if it has an effect on insurance..

ya, any flashy colours will probably attract more attention than let's say a black or silver..
