Funny Jessie V P-car quote..
In the latest Readers Digest, former Minnesota Governor Jessie Ventura was quoted, when asked how law abiding he was in his new Porsche:
"Well, there's no law that says how fast you can get to the speed limit"
(Actually, I think there may be..something about "excessive acceleration" Anyone know if that is true?)

That's what I tell my wife when she says "why do you need a fast car if the speed limit is 55?"
I believe some states have what is called "exhibition of speed" laws. I think it's applied when people do burnouts.

I had a buddy get a ticket in high school for what is called an "unsafe start". He basically did a burn out from one stop light in town to the next. We were kids :-)

Someone already said it, but revving your engine and squeeling the tires here in California is known as "exhibition of speed" you get a big fat one for that now....

They'll find something to get you on, if they really want to.
I liked Steve Martin's quote. At one time he was a banjo player, but he switched to comedy because he says the least-heard phrase in the English language is
"That's the banjo player's Porsche."
