300zx: 60-something in a 40, 80 in a 60 (warning), running a stop sign

Trans Am: tons of no front plate tickets (more than 5), failure to stop at a red light (ran the tollbooth back before the photo enforcement and a cop caught me), failure to signal a turn (I KNOW for a fact I signaled), several speeding tickets, exhibition of acceleration (racing a mustang), a couple no insurance tickets (dismissed because I had insurance, but I didn't have the piece of paper in the car).

Z06: 96 in a 70, illegal tint. Hadn't had a ticket in 5 years before this one.

Quite a few speeding tickets, more than I can count. 1 reckless driving (130 in a 65). I also got a reckless on the GSXR for running an SS (I only got to 72 MPH, and I get a ticket) I wasn't even on it hard, no wheelies or anything (got that dropped though). I'm ashamed of all of those and just putt around now.

Bought mine new in Feb 97. Never even pulled over. And I drive fast when I want to. But I am careful, too.

Since I started the post I'll throw in my close calls. October 05' my vette, imapla SS, trans am, going through town messing around. Cop followed us, heard the impala spin its tires and my car get loud(I hooked). We just got on it till about 40 in a 45 zone and had to slow down for the next redlight. The redlight before the cop had snuck in behind the trans am and we never saw him. We sat the redlight, went on down the road the impala disappeared. So I told my passenger I wonder where in the hell is he? So we go down the road a half a mile and I see a police car hauling *** and hits me with lights. I pull over and later another cop escorted my friend in. lol. Cop jumped out of the car made me get out and was pretty much a straight up ***. Made us stand around for about 15 mins and finally let us both go. He really didnt have proof of anything as he didnt see us.

Last weekend, coming home on a friday night at 145. I one of the only ones on the road. Another friend of mine is ahead of me and has absolutely left me. I am running about 10 over on average in a 45. I thought prob no cops out since he just hauled *** through just seconds before me. I hit 62 then coast down to 45 then stop at the light. Im sitting at the redlight and I see a crown vic behind me. I thought oh ****. I pull off when it turns green and he pulled me over right there. I pull over, then he asked me do you know why I pulled you over, yes sir...Where you goin? I told him. Then he asked how old I was, 19. Then he wanted to know if I had been drinking, I said no I'll do a sobriety if youd like. He then says ok, and goes back to his car. I thought this is great, me planning on build my new 408 car and get a c5. This is going to **** me over. He comes back and says slow down for me and lets me off. He was pretty cool cop unlike the other.

Not biggest but I got a "unsafe start" ticket in a 94 Z, after a wicked smoky burnout of course, and within a week of buying the car! I guess I was asking for it, the cop saw the whole thing. too bad I didn't see him or I wouldn't have done it!

Did you frame that and put it on your wall?

I've never gotten a ticket in one of the vehicles I own or owned. I was pulled over 7+ times in my talon for no front plate and once for skidding out in an AWD car on dry pavement . Never been pulled over in the Nissan or the Camaro (knock on wood).

I've gotten 4 tickets in my dads 00 Civic Si with a stock big wing on it. 71 in a 45. 95 in a 60. I deserved those two, the other two were BS 80 in a 55 that cop went flying past me, I got in behind him after he went hauling ***** by me. He claimed he was behind me for 4 miles and I was only on the highway for 1.5, if he was behind me he would have seen that bitch in a black car go hauling past me at 90+. Then I also got a 77 in a 65 at 4 in the morning after I had just drove 7 hours from Indy to KC.

Holy **** 114 and 140. Wow, if you did that around here you'd be in the back of a car.

oh wow where does my luck begin and end...

Got my ls1 may 2006..

June 16th, i remember because nacho libre came out that night..

Got out of the movie with my gf at the time, was peddlin through the parking lot at 12am or so, and see these FWD cars trying to do donuts, i laughed it off and kept going.. but noo my girl was like HEY I KNOW THEM! shes like go show them how its done. so stupid me goes over and frickin spin it around hard twice. Huge cloud of smoke. All the sudden i hear the cars take off, im like oh damn something wrong, through the smoke i see flashing lights!!! There was a cop hiding behind the razzoos in the parking lot. He asked "HMM do you know what you were doing??" i said of course said yes. Took license and registration. i was spazin out in the car and my gf was laughing of course.... cop comes back and tells me i might be going to jail for a class B misdemeanor wreckless driving... He gave me the speach about how dangerous that was what i did, i agreed and stuff. told him i worked at the theater ( i did serously) and he asked me the next time i worked, told him. he said alright see you saturday. now dont ever do that again! Got off clean.. ive yet to do a donut since then.

I am good friends with that cop still to this day.


Second time, same chick about 3 months later. came from a party, made an illegal U turn cop pulls me over asks where i was going, told him home and i was late mom was made blah blah. made it sound good. he asked if the gf needed to be somewhere, told him her mom was pissed. he said alright your clean Go home.. got off again...

LUCK IS OUT!!!
October 31, 2006

Went cut through the party city parking lot on trinity mills and josey.. so i could avoid the long *** light. i get out onto trinity and punch it, i hit about 80 and i see a cop in my rearview... i knew i was toast. so i just made my way over to the right side of the road, his lights go on i had to fight to get over so we went about half a mile down the road and then i pulled over lol. first thing he said was "DO YOUR BREAKS WORK!?" i knew i was toast and he was an *******, so i told him sometimes they do.... i get a $155 ticket, not for speeding. but took defensive driving. and im all clear... was NOT worth doing.

Speeding wise 85 in a 55, 71 in a 55 (bogus because I never went over 60 so don't know where he came up with 71, then 45 in a 30.

Next is Street racing my friends Dakota R/T, we see a cop whip around and we both go separate directions to side streets. I never went over like 35 because I'd go a block and turn not even knowing if he was following me or my friend. Next thing I know there's a cop in the middle of the road sideways in front of me and 3 others show up. They give me aggrivated fleeing and eluding which is a class 4 felony, 10 stop sign violations even though the cop wasn't even close enough behind to tell which route I even took otherwise I woulda atleast seen his lights, and I also got a street racing ticket. Got 8 of the stop sign violations dropped and the street racing and the aggrivated fleeing and eluding was just taken down to attempting to flee and elude which is a class d misdemeanor. Either way, it all sucked and I had a night in jail for it and 100 hours of community service and I'm out from behind the wheel for another 11 months.
