I've owned an S2000 since March 2001. I've put over 108,000 miles on the two I've had. And I just got my first ticket in an S2000 on May 1st. He nailed me for 81 in a 70 mph zone. I live in So Cal, north of Los Angeles, but got it in Louisiana.

I got a ticket for going 51 in a 35 a few months back. Followed the instructions at ticketassassin.com and I just found out that the ticket got dismissed and the fine I payed will be reimbursed. I'm so happy. I highly recommend you give ticketassassin a try.

the city of Wilber, texas , 20 miles south of dallas , is at the border between dallas county and ellis county

there is a speed change due to jurisdiction change (tho no change in # of lanes, traffic density, etc)

those dallas county piggies LOVE to set speed traps there. i see atleast one everytime i drive by... without fail.

a few nights ago i was going southbound and the Ka band went off. since this area is rural, there are no lights on the freeway. piggie was sitting in the median shoulder, with LIGHTS OFF, shooting radar at people

talk about dangerous. i had never previous seen a trap set without parking lights on.

speaking of nasty speedtraps...I was in Pasadena, CA and as I was driving down the street I saw a cop about 1000 feet down the road. He was over on the side of the road with his lights on and what looked to be a car that he had pulled over. However, he hadn't pulled anyone over...it was a trap. The pulled over car was actually just an empty car with nobody inside. The cop was standing in front of the empty car hidden from sight with just his radar gun poking out so he could nab people. So most people would zoom by thinking they had nothing to worry about since the cop had already pulled someone else over...boy were they wrong.

Cops are douchebags.
