4 tickets lifetime. (37 years old) All in/around Tampa, FL suburbs unless noted:
1- 1988, speeding, 53 in a 35. Busted. (1973 Chevy Malibu Chevelle)
1a- 1989, stopped for running stop sign. Bogus & the cop knew it, let me go. (same Chevelle)
2- 1992-93, speeding, 72 in a 55. Lame, but busted, JAX sucks. (1990 Isuzu 4WD Pickup)
2a- 1999, stopped for speeding, 60 in a 45 (I thought it was 55). Got a warning! (built 1990 Supra Turbo)
3- 2002, running red light. BOGUS, never happened, but cheaper & easier to take the class. (2001 VW Golf GLS 1.8 Turbo)
4- 2008, August 22, speeding. Ironically, the one spot in a 3k+ mile road trip where I turned off cruise & gunned it to help unsnarl interstate traffic in SC. I topped out at 105-110mph, cop clocked me at 84mph, wrote me for 79mph in 70mph zone, which saved me $140 in extra fines. (Total $81.50) Figured since I was ticketed for 25-30mph less than actual top speed, that was a gift & paid it. Helluva way to start a vacation, though. (2005 MINI Cooper S, many mods)
Got the Speed3 on September 24 of 2008. Hoping my record of only getting pulled over once every few years will hold up & maybe the Speed3 will never suffer that indignity.

i have gotten 11 in my entire life. 44 hours of traffic school and $1155 in fines. yep, stupid.
ouch! that ranks as 1 of the all-time horror stories. what the hell didya do to piss him off so bad that he went postal on you?
and to the OP: 7 tix is probably 5 too many...as the official old fart of the board [pushing 49] i'm glad to say i've had 4 tix in 33 yrs of driving. the last one being a 90+ mph w/ a BMW 850 on the FL turnpike one early sunday morning. i don't know why the trooper didn't believe me when i told him i was under strict orders from the mechanic to "take her out and blow the carbon out"...(naughty)
You've gotten seven tickets in the Speed3 alone? I'm assuming some of those court cases are still pending. How many points do you have? You realize at some point they will take your license.
I have a fair number of tickets myself, but those were acquired over several years of speeding, none of them in the MS3 though.

i got 3 speeding, a stop sign. I hate tickets!!
I am almost 23 and I've only had one. It was keeping up with the flow of traffic, but I had a highly modified eclipse convertable, so of course I got profiled and picked out of a crowd. That sucked. But I took DIP class and that's that. I don't act like an idiot in my car.
Got one in my civic about nine years go, I was clipping at 150km/h (94mph) from one city to another because I had some annoying guy in my car and I just wanted to get rid of him.
Then last year (speed3) in the fall I was stuck behind a douchebag in some farm truck going 10 and holding up traffic, so as soon as he turned off I hit the boost to let off some steam, and there was a traffic cop in the other lane. I got the cherries flashed at me but she was stuck in traffic too and couldn't turn around. I don't know if it was a warning or if she was going to give chase, but I didn't stick around to find out!
I bet nobody thought twice about the guy actually holding up traffic and causing the problems.
