speeding tickets??

Sorry to hear that. Actually, I've been more concerned about the front license plate thing. Usually see plenty cops up and down El Dorado. None of them have seemed to care so far even though I come up behind them or beside them at stop lights.

i bit the bullet and installed the front license plate just so i wouldnt have to worry about it... true, there are plenty of cops up and down eldorado and the neighboring streets. i never speed in town... i was in Ft. Worth on Friday for work and got busted on the access road where north loop 820 and I35 meet.

it was a long, banked curve with nobody on it... great to open up the throttle on.. but the cop jumped out from behind a tree and got me.

BTW, needforZ - are you in a PG Z? i think i saw you at eldorado and ridge a few weeks ago.

It was probably me. I haven't seen any 370s in Mck, not even you

Kinda funny but I still can go 2 weeks in DFW without seeing another 370z.

Is it just me? Or do u find cops to be not as uptight about sports cars and bright colors here in DFW as it seems in other places? I wasn't bothered at all when I had the G35.
To me it just feels like they indiscriminantly hand out tickets here imo?
But it also feels like writing tickets is the only thing cops are really trying to do. Lol
I always see people pulled over in all kinds of cars.

I chalk it up to revenue generation for the county. A ticketed sports car nets the same amount as a ticketed beater. Tax revenue is down due to job losses and foreclosures... they got to make up for it some way.

True, True. I guess the money factor is just so much stronger than profiling and hand picking the stereotypical car to issue a ticket. I've only gotten 1 ticket in my life. And it was in mesquite tx. nov 2007... $243 84mph in a 60mph.
I got a deferred adjudication so I paid it without getting it on my record.
Was able to absolve it by mail.
Hopefully that was my 1st n will be my last ticket.
