You know I clean forgot about the ticket factor. Now that I am no longer driving mine daily, I have managed to wipe my driving record clean.
I used to walk into traffic school and they would greet me like "Norm" walking into Cheers.

My cruise control(emphasis on control) is the only reason my license is clean.

Yeah, the ticket factor is the only thing making me hesitant about using the RUF daily.

You mean something like this?

Second day of ownership driving home. No worries, not that bad.

Patrick,

I love that you had the foresight to take a picture! On our drive back there were a few cruisers rushing behind us and I freaked for a second and missed the picture... luckily for us they were going after something else. Man, I love that turbo s wing! So would you recommend I use mine daily, Patrick?

Well, I have only had mine for 12 days. But I cannot get enough of it. I don't see why you wouldn't drive it every day. Mine is very easy to drive at low (and high) speeds. I don't know how it will handle the tx heat. But I really don't drive much as my commute is 3 miles and I only do it 2-3 times a week. (Travel the other days and the car sits at home.)

I find that if I am going to have to park on the street I will take another car. also sometimes don't want anybody looking at me. I find the car creates a lot of unwanted attention. also if I am in hurry it is a drag to wait for warm up (keeping it below 4,000).
the ticket thing is also a concern. I have been pulled over by police who just want to check out the car. but heck life is for living and I can't get that quote out of my head "nobody ever wished they had driven their car less when on deathbed"
