lol oh i can top that
i drove past a cop who had pulled a S10 over for speeding, i slowed down to like 10 (literally in first gear) and passed him while he was inside his car on the labtop and turned into the parking lot just ahead of them....cop came flying into the lot a few mins later and gave me a ticket for not switching lanes when passing an emergency vehicle. what bulls***, i went soooo slow past him and didnt switch lanes becuase i had to make a right hand turn right after, and how sketchy would it look to go from far left lane, cut 3 across and into a parking lot like literally 2 meters ahead of the S10
oh and it got better, they changed when you have to renew your liceanses in canada, its like 4 months after ur birthday month at the first of that month, so being born in jan mine was may 1st...well may 3rd was when i got pulled over and forgot all about the new change, so i got nailed with driving with an expired liceanse....so the cop made me get a friend to move the car or it would get inpounded...well my buddy drives a 92 swift and a 08 automatic focus...gets in my car, hits the gas a bit too hard coming out of first by mistake, squeels the tires in the parking lot, we get pulled over AGAIN! and yes....my freind did get a nice 200 dollar ticket for a honest mistake....
the b**** of the entire thing is, i do some sketchy things in my ride from time to time, like race/e break corners, usually at night when its empty and safer, but daaaaaamn of all the times to get pulled over, was on a honest mistake....

i never hear good things about VA traffic laws/cops haha
I think its time to renew my membership with "Team Speed Limit". the crappy thing is, I was maintaining speed with the 18 wheeler in front of me. It was a long empty highway.I was going between 75 - 80 mph. Just a steady cruise. No tailgating, no weaving, and we were in the slow lane.
We pass the cop and I see him start to roll out in my rear view. I stay in my lane and slow down, the 18 wheeler accelerates and passes a vehicle in front of him, and the cop pulls ME over!!!!!!!!
I was like: Pardon me officer but how is it that my dinky little wagon gets tagged while the massive truck that accelerates away from you goes scott free especially when I was behind him?
Ugh.

I have never had a problem with this car cruising at any speed. I just get very greedy with the skinny pedal.
