I've been pulled over three times now in the boxster. Not once for speeding though, which is odd because I always drive it like I just stole it!

All three stops were for not having a front license plate. And all three resulted in verbal warnings. One from a Texas Dept. of Public Safety guy; the other two were from Houston PD officers.

Of course, now the Houston area fine for not having a front plate is something like $200 so it's officially a money-maker even though it's not a moving violation.

I drive mine pretty hard too here in Houston and no cops yet. Still running without the front plate too. What did you say to the cops about the plate?

Several years ago, my dad and I were returning with In-N-Out for the the whole fam in his Bentley (Continental Flying Spur) through some roads that had just been built but the area was not developed so they were always empty. Cop clocked us doing 60 turning right in an intersection - yes, 60 from the right hand turn lane, and we had been braking hard. He told us how fast he got us on radar, and my dad's response was "60?!? You gotta admit, that's impressive."
He was got off guard, laughed, and told us to get home before our burgers were cold.
