too many! Reckless driving approx 120 through town passing some jackass. Almost got another reckless driving 2 weeks ago, in Indiana you go to jail for it. Talked my wau out of it but got 3 tickets. the cop was off duty. My license was on probation, no tickets till july. Now I'm f*cked. Gonna go an out of state license this week somewhere prolly florida. Hire a lawyer this week too maybe save some face and buy me some time to catch a flight this week or next. Court date is next wed. Wish me luck.

badcoupe, if you have so many tickets and do 120 through town, maybe you shouldn't be driving...

interesting... badcoupe, yeah, get a lawyer! I've had 3 tickets so far... talked my way out of more than that too. The first time I was pulled over I was driving a country road at 75-80 in a 35, and undercover cop played cat-and-mouse with me for over 2 miles before flipping on the blue lights behind his grille... he came to the window with a smile on his face, checked to see if I was sober (which I was, at 3 am) and let me on my way with "Mr. Reagan, I think you know what you did... have a good night and watch your speed" I guess when you see under a dozen cars on your shift on a deserted forest road, when someone DOES speed by you, you have some fun, huh? lol

I'm going to be one cautious f*** once I get the 951. I'm no math expert, but 20 year old male+ past history+ Porsche+ turbo = Kevin's getting screwed when he gets pulled over

Zero, zip nadda. No close calls, nothing. Two main reasons:

1. Driving a Guards Red 944 sticks out like a thumb. I know they're watching!

2. After being able to legally fly down the straights at 130mph on the track, why bother with 100 on the streets? (You knew it was coming, now didn't ya?! )
