First ticket

[gmboxster]

As a causal observer, cfos, sure seems like one bitter individual. For some reason.

On a different note, if I'm speeding and get a ticket I wouldn't say a word because I would know I deserved it.

Oh, thank you for your opinion. However, I don't really find myself to be bitter - but carry on with whatever you believe. Much like Jake and spellin' & grammah, you will never get through to me.

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.

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.

Hey, I'm still kind of craving one of those Volvos! I have shifted interest to an Alfa Romeo and a gal I know now though; both of these are very expensive, so I have actually been putting in a few applications.

Nice post though, made me laugh.

Likewise - with this post! An Alfa? As your reliable DD? Wow. I doubt you get much snow, but what is your winter/rain transportation? A Kawasaki ninja?

Oh no, the porsche would be the reliable one in that case. As for snow, zilch, and for rain, thankfully the boxster has a hardtop!

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.

Man I missed this forum, it still has the most traffic and best reads.

I didn't know VA was criminal above 80mph...dang. I just drove my brand new Cayenne from NC up to Adirondacks of NY and back last week. The speed limit in VA is mostly 70. On the way back I got in line with some other cars for a good 45mins and I kept looking down at the speed and it was let's say criminal at times. I usually never go more then 9 over. It's kept me ticket free since 1976. I decide it was enough and set the cruise on 74 (which is probably 72 in a Porsche) and let them go on their way. The shame of feeling criminal was too much . Of course that is a heavy truck thruway and now I was being passed by trucks.

The problem with the SUVs is you HAVE to check your speed since it is really not apparent how fast one is going.
