Got a ticket in the Z today...

Cop's are very generous unless you do something stupid that they saw. One example is that i was following a car that was going 35 in a 55 and I passed him on a solid dotted line at 60, just as I did that, a cop crested the hill and gave me a $500 ticket. It sucks but, when you go from a semi crappy car to a some what performance car they get ya' and get ya' hard.

Doesn't sound like it would have mattered what kind of car you were in

I have a Porsche carrera s. I never get pulled in my 370z, but I was driving the 911 that day. they target nicer cars in cali, because they think you can pay for it, but what they don't understand it that we spend our paychecks on cars, and parts.

They target nicer cars here as well, a Z is a nice car here, especially if its a younger driver ticket right away!

I may have to agree with the youner driver statement....by rights I should have been pulled over at least twice....and twice it didnt happen...I am an older female driver....Ithink they totally blow off even thinking I am going to drive contrary to the laws....they are somewhat WRONG, but hey!

Yup, Im betting if it was a older man/woman driving my Z I say 4 out of the 5 tickets I got I would have got away with.

A lot depends on what the cops job is , if they are a traffic, speed trap, motorcycle meter maid, state cop, county sherriff , then most likely they will ticket everyone they stop.

Usually the regular patrol cops may give you a break, its these dedicated traffic cops that simply don't care and write everyone up.

But if an older man wears a weird hat WILL be pulled over for weirdness/suspicious.

Perhaps the real reason was you drove really too fast to make the cop to believe what he saw was the reality.

That also tells us you are not as old as you might thought you are.

What I mean is 60 in a 35... does it really matter what you're driving at that point?
