Got my free pass tonight, and it wasn't because of my pretty face.

So have any of you guys been there?

Let's just say I left to escape from some PMS tonight, and hit the road looking for undiscovered twisty's.
I'm out in the sticks and need to check my phone to see where the hell I am on the map.

Next thing I know I'm lit up from behind. ****.

The guy is late twentys, asks why I hit the yellow line back there....

Okay, my training kicks in, always go with the best truth -- he probably saw me on the phone anyway..."Sorry, I was on the phone trying to use the map."

Yeah, he says, this is a nice ride, what year is it?

This is easy..."it's an 86", I say.

You must have been working on it, he says.
"Yeah, it never really ends", I say

How modified is it?, he says
son-of-a-bitch, I think, what's the right answer? That's a harder one, how many tickets can this dude lay on me...
"Uhhh, it's mostly stock", I respond.

No kidding he says.
He runs the license and returns.
okay, he says, I'm looking for people drinking so why don't you take off.
Sweet Deal, I'm thinking, "Thank you"

That's a nice ride, he says, and be safe.

I got a 'kind of' answer. I was coming out of NM moving well just out of the mtns. Doing around 65 in a winding part of the highway with a 45 zone. Came around a good smooth righty and there's a HP coming the other way about 300 meters up. He sees me, I start to slow, he flicks his lights a few times and wags his index finger in the windshield(knock it off). I gave the 'ok' and a head bump as we pass, and took it easy until I hit the TX line. Wonder what would happen if I was in a Corvette or 'stang. Prolly would have gotten one. It was pretty obvious...

No. The 928 is a ticket magnet. I took one ticket to trial just to tell the cop I was sick of being singled-out.

My 944, on the other hand, has worked the other way. I've gotten a bunch of warnings and never a moving violation. The difference is very clear.

Interesting...I got a ticket a couple weeks ago, and was pissed that the guy didn't follow car guy protocol and let me off. But maybe that's not as universal as I would have hoped lol...

The Forgotten On

I've had a mixed bag. Probably because I use the innocent student excuse .

I've gotten pulled over 3 times. 2 times I got a warning for speeding (first time the cop knew he screwed up by doing some very illegal maneuvers to catch up to me and I called him out on it. He almost hit another car without using his lights).

Second time I got pulled over I got a ticket for going 83 in a 65. Court lost the ticket, I had to do more paperwork for those idiots who can't even seem to do their job and then the cop doesn't even show, go figure

Third time the cop saw me touch my brakes, he had no way to verify my speed and we both knew it. So I got off.

All of these had at lest a year in between. I do however get followed and harassed quiet often by cops at the end of the month though...

Sheriff deputy pulled me over in NM, saying he had clocked me at over 95, I admitted he might be right as I had caught myself going that fast a couple of times on the trip. But also said it was not intentional and was probably due to the Bob Seger music playing in a car where fast doesn't seem fast.

He took my papers back to his SUV, then came back and said he was just going to give me a warning. Yay!! Then he said he had read about 928s, but had never seen one, He spent about 10 minutes chatting through my side window as I answered his questions.

I think my wife is going to win this one, although it could have been due to having *****.

She was going down the local toll road after dark in her 90 and there is one section that she and I would check the tolltag times to see who could get through them the fastest, she always won but this night there was a nice sheriff looking for revenue. So she gets pulled over.

Officer- Ma'am, how fast do you think you were going?

Her - Hmm, how fast did you clock me?

Him - 140 ma'am

Her - Good, means my speedometer is correct.

The conversation then turned to the car, she ended up popping the hood and they talked cars for a while. No warning and this is a very true story.

Always in my 928 do I get a ticket, never in the 911. 71 in a 55 seems to be their favorite number.
Every so often the state reminds me with a 30 day vacation from driving!

Did you articulate the words 'thank you', or just think it.?

Crumpler

Articulated, also told him to be safe, it's not alot of fun being a cop right now I'm sure .


Man, it doesn't sound like we get a universal break as 928 owners so far, maybe even puts a target on your back...unless you have *****...

M. Requin

Outstanding, in all ways!

I have *****.
Never helps me.

You see Dan, this is why we have become so important to this forum.
Anyone can be full of knowledge and help others with their cars.
It's our intrinsic wit and gravitas that set us...just, a little bit higher.

Segway into the well kept housewife last week that wanted a lump removed from her dog...

Well, good news ma'am, I don't have to take it off, because it's a nipple...I say.

She responds: it can't be a nipple doctor, he's a boy.

After 20 years in practice, I can respond with a straight face:
Well maam, I have have nipples and I'm a boy.

Does that work for you?

Lubricants?
