baah. got a ticket on I5 this morning

Soo.. i haven't even owned my 89 for a week and i got a ticket this morning on I5 near fed. way. got lasered at 83. i was just cruising and didn't notice my speed. Now i gotta call up mitch greene to try and get rid of this. Just pissed off at myself. this is the 2nd ticket in two weeks. the first one was in my pos civic. Although I'm very happy with the FC, it's super fun to drive. Guess the rumors are true about a red sports car. i really do need to slow down.

Yes, reds a bad color. I've had more tickets/problems in my red 7s then I did in my bright yellow with black racing strips mustang. And I was even younger and dumber when I was in the mustang. Go figure.

Thanks!, i have more pictures but i rather black out the license plate before i post them up. there's 122k on the chassis, 15k on the motor we rebuilt. The paint was pretty oxidized when i got it. then i got it detailed and it brought the paint right back. it's pretty straight with a few small dings and dents, like any other 16 year old car would have. The stock exhaust leaks and the tips are rusted out so, I ordered that motoria exhaust from the group buy, and i'm going to cut off the fart cans and weld in some borla's.

Ha, same here, but not the fd part. Though I did get a ticket, but it was not a moving violation.

Anyway, what i always do on the freeway is moving with the speed of traffic. If everyone goes 60 ill go 60, if everyone goes 80 ill go 80, etc. Just yesterday I went towards Federal Way. As i come off the offramp from 405 to I-5 I guned it like crazy. About a couple second later i didnt notice that a cop came onto the freeway. I just hit behind a truck the whole time.
