first speeding ticket in my cx-7

[RobbyMS6]

my first

i got my first acouple of months ago in my MS6. said i was goin 71 in a 45 BUT MY CAR WAS IN 2ND GEAR?!?! 2nd gear in a stock MS6 redlines at 55. and let me tell you, this cop was the biggest d-bag i have ever met. so it cost me 2 months with no license, 275 dollars, and a loss of trust with the parents. :mad:

Should have fought it. I had a cop do something kinda like that when I was 18 in my Protege. Claimed he clocked me doing 57 in a 35, was only doing 42-43 and it was actually a 40 zone, while going around a corner in the opposite direction of travel. Fought it and got it thrown out.

I have a thought (now and then) ... cops ought to have to pay the fine and legal fees if the case is thrown out (a bad ticket). Maybe they'd be a little more careful and less vindictive if so.

Interesting. The usually don't give me a second look in the CX-7, but the MX-5.. lookout! lol

Yeah, I've noticed that too. Maybe we are invisible to radar and laser.

When speed limits were 55mph, I was testing out my modified Saab turbo on Interstate 80. I saw the cops antenna in the mediums tall grass and got the car down to 97 before he got a lock. I was probably in the 130 mph neighborhood and still accerating when I hit the brakes. I still remember the big smile on the state trooper.

Trust me, the CX-7 is not invisible. And I don't have a front plate so they don't even have that to bounce the laser off of, but they still were able to clock it.
