No not looking for sympathy, this is the photo I sent my wife while I was being written up 
I was not using a detector because normally I don't get up to that speed but I was on a 4 hour trip on the interstate averaging around 75 & got into a group that refused to get over for 10 miles going 65-68 & saw my chance to get by & bumped it up around a bend & there he was. I haven't had a ticket in 3 years.

I haven't had a ticket in 3 years.I tried to keep my cool but completely lost it after third time around. I floored it to get in front of him and that's when a lady cop got me at 79 on 50. A reckless !!!. I had to get a lawyer to get me off reckless and reduce it down to 69. At least I didn't have to go to court.

swing2hard, great looking car!
Those look like very aggressive offsets. Are those wheel spacers, or just prominent wheel offsets?
BTW, I am almost certain you were pulled over for the offense of keeping amber side markers on such a pretty car....

Hahaha good one on the amber side markers 
I am slowly working towards that. I threw on the HRE's immediately, no spacers involved in that picture at all & had the windows tinted. I am putting in the B&M short shift kit this weekend & I will change out the side markers after that. Any other input on what I could or should do to this car will be appreciated. I want to change out the rear Carrera with a black one & a red S.

I hate VA when it comes to speeding. I was doing 80 in a 55 on the highway at 2AM coming back from the airport. Ticket given for reckless driving which triggered an automatic court appearance. WHAT.....how is it reckless driving when you are the only one on the road???
