Default Got pulled over and warned.

He said I was driving carelessly because I was going around a turn too fast. I didn't even shift from first going around a turn on the way to work, so the engine was all revved up and singing at 8000 rpms. I think it 'sounded' like I was going too fast. The yellow doesn't help either

Luckily it was only a warning though. whew.
This was the first time I've been pulled over in the S. I guess I'm going to have to be more careful

8000 RPM while going around a turn on a city street?...sounds more like turn 4 at Telladega?

It wasn't an intersection turn, it was more sweeping, I was only going 30 mph, I revved up and let off to coast into work (I just like the sound of the engine)..

To my surprise there haven't even been second looks from cops with this car. My S2000 is yellow too. Oddly enough I used to get pulled over in my Acura TL all the time.
