AGENT 86

As per usual my lead foot crushed the gas pedal as i left the grocery store.Seconds later i'm at mach 3 when i see cop car comming my way. Too @#$@$#@ late,all his lights ablase and he's doing a u-turn.Well this is my first intro to the local police here in my vette.He took my license and a few minutes later he handed me a warning ticket with the words WARNING SLOW DOWN $115 in his own hand writing.I thanked him for the warning then i CRUSHED THE GAS PEDAL!!!. OK so maybe i pulled away like i was driving miss daisy. As a cop told me in my old town "DON'T SHEET IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD"! When will i learn!! :D :cheers:

Most of the time I drive like a grandma, but every once in a while I step on it. :D

I have noticed around me.... C4 drivers are the older guys who are just looking to get around A to B. Butstill know what a real car is.... C5 drivers will run there car whenever you want.....

That my sterotype
C4= Older guy driving his baby, better be in the garage by the end of the day
C5= Younger guys seeing what his baby can do

Not all do, but they should. It's more fun that way.

Nah, pricey tickets and resulting insurance surcharges make me extremely wary. I enjoy the car's immense power and great handling whenever I feel I can safely do it, but don't haul butt every time we go out in the Vette. I've owned some very fast cars over the years (I'm a ripe old 54), but never really enjoyed beating on them; sort of a cockeyed respect for the machinery maybe. Drive hard, but carefully. Even the old Hemi Roadrunner didn't get hammered THAT much...

I don't keep it on the floor everytime I drive...too much traffic in Houston. But I do enjoy those moments where it just seems right to abuse the tires and break the law. And, like any normal American male, I love to see if I can knock a few minutes off my "previous best" on a road trip to see the out of town family/friends. Bragging rights, ya know...
knock on wood, no tickets in about 4-5 years, none ever in a Corvette.

Although there is not enough road here in Hawaii to let the car run. It is too tempting to lean on the gas when the road does open up. Oh, and on ramps... :blueangel:

You're lucky you didn't get cited. Insurance companies love to raise your premium. bad boy! bad boy! go sit in the corner!!!

I also have a lead foot, but I haven't had a ticket in about 7 years. Been pulled over plenty of times though ;)

I drive like grandma 85% of the time and flog the hell out of it the rest of the time. :D

I got the lead foot ! :cheers: :steering: :seeya

too scared to get a ticket.

I leave the mass-accelerations for on-ramps, places I know cops cant be, and even then it is usually just a good romp up to 70-80 or so.

Only seen triple digits like twice, and that was only about 105 or so. I am a scaredy cat of getting a nasty ticket.

BrianandDenise

Not me. I drive the speed limit unless I have a good reason to do 100+

I do have a heavy right foot, but I don't fly all the time! :D

I didn't buy the car on looks alone! I drive fast and have fun doing so. I do try to keep it under control so I stay about 8 over the posted most of the time. I do drive slower under a couple of conditions 1. Rain 2. Qtip in front of me and I can't get around it 3. traffic 4. cop with radar gun. :lol:

:flag :steering:

I've done stuff in the Vette that would have landed me a spot in the iron bar hotel for the night. 75% nice and easy, 20% spirited driving and 5% downright scary sometimes! :steering:
