Cops suck, period.

That's an average running speed.  11 mph.



I prefer to think of things in common law terms instead of this maritime / wartime fringed flag BS.  Common law states - if there's no damaged party, there is no broken law.

PAPERS PLEASE!  That's what we're at with this crap.
I don't have an EB but I am an avid modder and happy to help the community and learn/grow.  Pretty good with audio and wheels, my build and discussion threads are here in the forum.  2013 Flex AWD N/A

Yeah she wouldn't be so mad if it wasn't the second one. With two warnings in between that in the past 3 months.... Guys I'm going to have to drive exactly the limit on the way to work now. The other stops were for 5 over 6 over and 8 over.... LEOs are getting after it hard here lately..... .

Before our resident Leos jump in "I know I was breaking the law" not disputing the tickets in any way. Just sucks getting them. And it's hard to not drive fast with a car that drives fast so easily :devil:

Hate to hear about the tickets.... Of course here in PHX the limit on surface streets is 45, but everyone is moving 55-60mph....

Agree with the sentiments expressed.... And it's fun to be at the next light before it seems like anyone else left the first light, LOL

But I am glad for our LEOs.... Just would like them to look the other way sometime.

Buy a Valentine 1 detector and 4 head blinder laser jammer. It's lunatic fringe at 700 plus install, but your best protection.

At a minimum get a V1, it is the BEST investment a speeder can make.

Keep a lawyer on retainer ;). Best mod ever!

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!
