Nor have I had a ticket since 1986.

Hey if you have a place to take advantage of the speed, go for it. I realize there are different reasons for why we all buy the cars we buy. I'm sure I may be in the minority buying for looks. I would love to live in an area where I could take my Z on a track and have a little fun but I just can't here in South Mississippi.

Where I live you can't do jack without getting pulled over. I got pulled over 3 times the first year. Once for switching lanes without giving a damn signal on a 6 lane highway. Another time a highway patrolman pulled me over for speeding out of his jurisdiction and just lectured me then let me go.

My wife drives like a bat-out-of-hell in her Honda minivan and has never gotten pulled over. You are a marked man in a sports car where I live.
