I just got my first speeding ticket doing 62mph in a 30mph zone. I just got my 03 Cobra over a week ago and wanted to open it up and see what its got. Anyway the street is clear just after 10pm. I'm at a stop sign and I decide to punch it, I get to 3rd and going over 80. I slammed on the brakes to slow down but it was to late.

All in all, I'm dumb! But I also found out my window tint is 22%, I got a warning for that.

Me too? Hmmm....

I know if it was me, I'd have a reckless or careless with a visit to the graybar Hilton, too! Heck, there would probably be a tow and impound for good measure also.

I can only imagine what would've happened if he clocked you going over 80. Maybe save that enthusiasm for the track, much safer.

That cop was really nice to you. You must have been really polite! Nice to open up a car to see what it will do! I save that for freeway entrance ramps and the freeway though. Track is especially safe for that...and highly recommended!

My guess was the clean record got you off a trip to the jail

You were super lucky to keep your license and your car. Its a 2003 Cobra. They dont call them TERMINATORS for nothing. I know its fun to get on it and go but their are lots of things you cant see coming...like a cop. Just curious on how much that ticket was? Save it for the track or at least the freeway.

It was a state trooper on his way to Perkins. I honestly thought I was going to jail.

Whew I'm glad I'm past the days of needing to see what my car can do...
I'd be in real trouble trying that with the Shelby! Glad you got stopped by the cop in a good mood!

I had a state trooper giving me a really "hard stare" yesterday as I left work.

I never exceeded the speed limit... just got up to it exceedingly quickly.

If he wanted to be a prick coulda got me on the old "fuel consumption" ticket. But he let it go. Muchos gracias senor policia.

I didn't think there is a fuel consumption ticket here? Montana used to have it when the speed limits were relaxed, but I don't know if they still do. I'm sure they could use "unnecessary acceleration" as a ticketable item, however.

I've had my share of those.....:uhoh:
