First ticket

But I digress, what I was merely asking for was PL or Giller to back up their assumptions with... something other than attitude.

I admitted that what I cited may not be accurate. Which is fine. Giller's post is from 2010. Maybe there really isn't anything out there on the topic.

But, in explanation of my actions, I thought I might make an example of how I perceived their behavior. Having been to parts of Canada, I fell in love with the Couche Owl, and having been to NJ, I'm aware of the prevalence of orange people. Does that mean that these are the dominate gas stations and people of both areas? I dunno. Could be, but that's just my opinion, backed by Google:



After asking again and again, Giller provided a valid critique and did post something, yet I still don't see any Porsches on this "better" study. So, again, I do not believe this Porsche profiling to exist as much as others would lead us to believe. I also like to think that people should drive responsibly - and that's the real tragedy. Compare the posts that raise alarm over 20 mph over a limit in a residential zone to, " damn Porsche get so many tickets and I feel your pain and don't cops know we are great drivers with well-built cars who know what we are doing." Ok, maybe that is a slight exaggeration.

Grammar is not the only reflector of maturity.

Jake, I am pleased to say that I agree with this post, and with your opinion. Although, your "I'm-a-hipster-who-drives-a-Porsche-so-buy-me-a-Volvo" thread, and effort, is still fresh in my head, so, before I take your $0.02, I probably should scan the internet to see who is sponsoring said $0.02, and convince said person that the money should go to Cyprus. Would hate to accept it, only to have to give it back to someone else with a more worthy cause.

In person, no. Online, it's a major factor, bro. The crowd funding thing didn't help.

2¢.

That said, too many get hung up on your age, rare to see a youngster without a full privilege license on a site like this. Those folks need to remember their attitude and disposition at your age, and roll with it. My son is 23 and I don't fault him for saying Paul McCartney is dead and dude is some imposter.

He will come around after some time in Navy boot camp and time on the road.

When you pay for your own cars and repairs with earned wages, you'll catch on to some of the opinions tossed your way. That said, folks can use some salt and get over it.

Nice try. I made no assumptions, thus there was no need to "back them up".
I related my experiences with the police in car A vs. car B. Another forum member added that he experienced similar in his region of the country.
He also did not have to "back up" his experience. Your experience is your experience.

Then you came along and inferred that I was making an argument about the broader pool of Porsche drivers by posting a link to a survey that casts a wider net than my own region (or Husker's). Unsurprisingly, more than one person decided to point out to you that your Google search result link was not at all a study or driven by official data. Did all the survey respondents "back up" their experience? Otherwise you wouldn't have posted it, right? You see what you did there?

So not only did you invent an argument, that no one was making, you decided to argue against it with not very good "back up".
However you did establish that you like posting pictures when attempting to make your points.
But in your defense, at least it makes your invented arguments more amusing.

No assumptions...? Huh. You mean this wasn't you?

Point being this study doesn't accurately reflect the probability (as a % of those cars on the road) of a driver getting followed and stopped. And it also might lead one to forget the obvious: that as a % of the motoring population, there simply aren't that many Porsche on the road to begin with.

Ok. I didn't know that you refer to yourself as being "people". And Police is singular. And you authored the policies on how police ticket people or let them go.

But you are right, right? I do like to invent arguments and I do find them (and myself) amusing. I mean, what else is the internet for? Seriously -- look at how many hits this thread gets. Pure entertainment.
