2K3_Boxster_S have you researched

the law in VA for exceeding the speed limit by over 20MPH or driving more than 80. I suggest you do it soon.

A VA Reckless driving conviction will result in being convicted of a class 1 misdemeanor pursuant to Virginia Code Section 18.2-11. The maximum statutory penalty for a class one misdemeanor is twelve (12) months in jail, six months suspension of your Virginia driver's license for six months plus a fine of $2,500.

Well some states like Illinois have whats called an "Engine Braking" Law which means flooring it from 0-45 will result in a ticket if caught. (The law was derived to catch "Street Racers" who had radar guns and wouldnt finish their stoplight grand prix because the detector went off.. so the cop could still put 2 and 2 together to ticket them anyways for the loud engine/exhaust noise.)

Its a bs law, but it's still there... Where did our freedom go?



In all honesty though, this is a peaceful forum 2K3.. please don't make attacks, snipes, or rude/ignorant comments to other members of this forum whether it is justified or not. Two wrongs do not make a right, and treat others as you would have then treat you. Please keep that in mind for future reference because this forum was created for everyone's (including yours) benefit.

Must be nice to be where you guys are at, allowed to speed, gun the engine, hard braking.

Not in Ohio... we be in a Pole Leese State. Cross into the Buckeye and a State Boy will be there to check your ticket.

It's not that were allowed to do it. There are just certain areas and certain times that no one is around.

Laws are pretty tough in Calif. too. If caught for excessive speed, wreckless, or street racing, the car may be impounded at the officers discretion. Blink is playing a little Russian roulette here with his car. But... let those of us who have never done this sort of thing in our youth cast the first stone. (I paraphrase)

Blink, aside from a little extra wear and tear on the equipment it's not bad at all. It's a sports car and a Porsche one at that. It's designed to be braked hard, turned hard, accelerated hard. I like to go out for fun drives to, but I always have a fear of the man lurking (for good reason) so going all out on a public road isn't the best idea. Have you considered autocross or track days? So much more fun because you don't have to worry about the things you do on a public road. Plus, it feeds my need to compete against others.
