Joe,

Now I'm not only envious of your car, I envy your luck as well.

I get a $117 ticket for jaywalking to an Astros game, and you get off with a warning for driving 170+. That's just crazy.

Think that's weird I got pulled over by the FBI this morning for a 7mph violation. Two agents with hands on pistols with unbuttoned holsters. WTF?

Hey guys, just got back. Ok...

2+2, SD Porsche Fan got it right, I own and es...entertainment company. lol
Never thought about being a writer but I've been approached by two different publishers on writing a book about my experiences as an "entertainer" and my life during this time.

Glad you liked the story. The really entertaining part is it really happened. I've got a ton more but when a subject comes up and I think of one, I'll let you know.

Oh, I don't have the pic of her leaning over the guardrail. You've seen others. you guys know what she looks like. I could get her to pose with the car but that will take some time.

Dude,
You bought and built this car to go fast! Period!

I've been above 155 many times in my car. I was running 150+ with a Caprice SS in trail across the famed Aligator Alley when we came upon an SUV with lights atop. We both stood on the brakes, got down to about 85, and got a good look at the truck. It was a State Wildlife Officer. He was waving frantically for us to slow down, and he flashed the lights for a while. He pulled off at the only exit in the middle of Florida, and we promptly ramped it up to 155 again for the remainder of the crossing. All the while my G/F was feeding me grapes.

I've been lucky in Va. The USAF ID was like a get out of sh*t free card. Circa 1995

In NJ, I was 1 and 1, with one year of suspension. Cop said his radar malfunctioned...it only went to 99 mph. Did i mention it was a 25 mph zone, at 3:15 am, and I had my lights off when I ran from him? I deserved a year that time. I got caught! Jan 1990 My 1983 N/A.

In St. Pete, I got a $254 fine for 105/55. 1989...my 1983 N/A

I haven't had a speeding ticket since I blew my engine up!

If anyone has one of these cars and hasn't hit the rev limiter in 4th, you should sell it.

My first H/G I blew was racing a WST Trans Am, at 160+. I stayed on the boost too long, but I didn't lose. It didn't start puffing till i got home. That was all before I did all the mods.

Now I'd be happy to get an hour drive without 6 hours in the garage!

Doug

sweanders, if you have a collection agencey coming after you, that means you didn't show up for court, pay it, or get an attorney. That's bad. At least I can say I've never let it go that far...lol.

giantman, I'd take you up on the spare underpants but I usually never wear any. The **** I get into, I should probably start.
