Look at the majority of speeds that people have gotten tickets for. 93-45, 85-65, most are 20+ over. Ya I am sure that cops do not lke ricers, (MSP is not a ricer), but there is no excuse here what so ever. Now harrasment by cops would be more in the line of pulling you over and ticketing you for aftermarket exhaust, tint, tires, lights, etc. Those are harrassment type tickets not Speeding 20+ over in a speed zone.

so i get a friend of mine to try out my msp just for kicks.. not much a sport car enthousiast but was curious...
the guy knows how to drive and we go for a ride..
not 10 minutes into the test drive, my friend swerves a few time from lane to lane and goes to about 50 mph into a 35 zone.. a cop appears out of knowhere and gives us "the eye" as in slow down and get a ticket..
my friend gets into a mall parking and hands me the keys and says "not for me"
that was 2 days ago
today,.
my brother in law wants to try out my msp.. he never drove a turbo car but has a beemer so he know what speed and handling is..
takes it on the highway and cranks it to 90 MPH which is a relatively short time.. outta nowhere a cop clocks him at 90 and he'.s screwed.. with a 335$ ticket.. he gives me the keys as he won't drive it anymore.. even though i offered him too
both took about 10 minutes to get into the way of the law enforcement people..
okay, i know it's bright fuking yelow and it's got a big wing in the back.. i never though they could be ticket magnets as much as this..
im surprised i didn't get one just yet with my spirited driving..*knocks on wood*
anybod got a few experiences with this? (uhm)
My car is bright yellow too, but it's a car like all cars on the road.... follow the limits and you wont get into trouble.... Take any car and ram it 30-40mph over limit and you are more likely to get hammered! You want to race it then be smart and take it to the track or pay the tickets! Oh well, my 2 cents on the matter! LOL (five-0)
