I think you will.

One thing I found with the Crown Vic was that it seemed like a cop repeller. I don't know if they thought I was their grandmothers friend or perhaps a supervisor. On those few occasions that I accidently blundered into one of those small-town speed traps at highway speed, they just flashed their lights at me to catch my attention and warn me to slow down. I always gave a cheerful wave when that happened and eased up a bit. I think those days may be over.

i had a used cop car, chevy caprice, with the push bumpers on the front and everything. Looked like an unmarked car, it was great, people always let me go first at stop signs, people slowed down for me!

I think it's cute how people assume they are just going to get a ticket for driving a Z.

No, you'll get a ticket for breaking the law.

My mechanic got pulled over in my old Z car for not having a front plate. Last ticket I paid was 1986. Any other tickets have gone to court where I won.

It'ss not worth speeding. Moving violations are reported to your home state.

I would never put a front plate on my Z. I will just continue to pay my 80 dollar fee.

i never paid any fees and i too was against front plate.

but then you get older and some of us gets wiser... dealing with little things like this become silly and you just concentrate on real things that matter in life.

I got a ticket a while back going 77 on a 55. It is a road on the mountain and I was going downhill. I was not even giving her gas just gravity being gravity I was not paying attention and Bam saw the cop but it was to late. I tried to tell the cop that I was not accelerating and it was just the downhill speed but he did not care. anyways my ticket was $228 and some change. Very expensive ticket and my insurance went up 50 bucks.

I've received 3 tickets in my Z, one was for speeding, one for tailgating a buddy of mine and the third was for having my driver side tires hit the double yellow on Mulholland(CHP

).

I got a point from one of the speeding tickets and one for the tailgating. Going to court to fight the "unsafe speed"(veh code:22350)ticket on Feb 22.

the Z is def prone to tickets no doubt about it. Most of the times I got tickets I wasnt even driving reckless. Just happens certain situations, @ certain times. and the popo is around every building so you gotta be careful!!
