well on my way home from work today I was doing 80mph in a 60mph zone so I got my first ticket... but probley not my last LoL.
 
"sorry officer, my foot was on the pedal, this strange turbo noise kicked in and i couldn't control it!"
 
Yeah me too..... i didnt post it though when it happened!
i was doing 14 over in wisconsin...i live in illinois and they(cops) dont like outsiders! my wife was behind me a got her too...state trooper... 360$ for the 2 of us.....damn. thats almost a payment(ughdance)
i went out and bout a cobra radar detector 2 days after that!(omg)
 
Wow...I have heard Wisconsin is bad....that's a lot of money...those darn turbo's!hee,hee
 
(shocked) Ouch, sorry to hear that. I got one on my Z last year, 93 on a 45. $275 painful dollars, I can still feel the pain in my pocket,LOL.

Yeap, it was suppose to be wreckless driving and I was supposed to take a ride in the 5.O's car, but the officer didn't write me up for it.

I got lucky, damn I should have fought that one. (You know, is not my fault my car looks like a Siver Bullet).
 
I got my first one couple of weeks ago. 87 in a 65 for a comparatively affordable $174. This happened in Kansas.
 
Everyone needs to get themselves a Valentine1 radar detector. It has saved me multiple times and more then paid for itself in my cars. One of which is a 350Z too! Then again in that car I also have this which has saved me a couple times as well. If you're gonna speed be prepared, just like the boy scouts! hahah

Yeah, I know about the V1 and I want to get one. Many Z owners like you have told me is worth the money. I also like that you can get updates or trade it in for a newer model.

Nice story, you better tell me that you won the race!!!
 
the gsx was a peice of s*** that galant obviously could barely keep up but the 07 i actually had to try cause i has a lil bit more power..but it was my friend who was driving..and he sucks lol but idk if it was worth all the s*** i got myself into
 
I got pulled over for doing 59 in a 30. The cop said I didn't need a ticket like that on my insurance and let me go. Now why can't all cops be like that? :D

Exactly.

I've been lucky too, I get pulled over every now an then, and usually the fact that I am in the Military gets me out of a ticket, except for last year.
 
Speeking of speeding tickets, has anyone tried to instal a remote radar/laser in the front grill of a CX7 yet? I have had remotes since the early 90's, I find them hassle free of the power cord, etc. Tried to instal my new Escort ZR3 laser jammer and found some interesting facts about the lower front grill.

According the the Mazda dealerlship - body dept, you have to take the front bumper off to get to the lower grill area. Any techs here that can help? The top grill would work but the one side is not deep enough to put one of the two jammers.
 
well, I got nailed doing 51 in a 35 on my way to church. The road should clearly be a 45 considering it 2 lanes both ways but there is a stretch that is unmarked and the GA driving handbook says speedlimits are equal to that posted or 35 if unposted. UGH. COst me $265 and the part that erks me most is the fact that cops are up and down this road looking for speeders because the area just became a city "Sandy Springs" and so the city officials are pressing the PD for municipal monies!!!!
