Very first ticket I got was back in the "old" days when "cruisen' the main" was the thing to do. The light turned yellow with me in the intersection and of course I had to get through it so I wound it up and tromp the gas. Left front tire comes off the ground and almost take out the car in front. Cop was parked on the corner watching the whole thing. Just shaking his head as he wrote the ticket. Exhibition of speed. I was 16. The car was a full race Austin Healey 3000. Oops. MUCH older and only slightly wiser now.

 

I had a 54 Ford coupe with a 57 TBird 312 in it. Twin glass packs sounded beautiful. I got a ticket one night for making too much noise on the South side of town, and I had just driven in from another town. No way it could have been me. I tried to explain and the cop said, well if you had been there it would have been too loud. They picked on me! They would come up to me on a parking lot and tell me to crank it up and rev it to see if it was too loud. I would refuse and wait them out before leaving.

 

In HS I drove my dad's 67 mgb with open headers for a while. They were open because a pipe rusted out and I hadn't replaced it yet. That was really loud! No ticket though.

 

The guys with the rice burners and the tin cans on them would have been envious!

 

No, ricers wouldn't have a clue how to tune that 4 banger. Hell, the British still can't tune them!

 

30ish years of driving...1 ticket for running a stop sign about 11 years ago.

 

Its dirt simple when you want to advance the timing you turn the radio dial to the left if you want to retard the timing every 3 slams of the bonnet is 1deg

 

omg where do I start....

the minivan

65 in a 35
55 in a 35 a week later same place lost my license
45 in a 35 the week I got my license back same place.. lost em again

then I started getting equiment tickets.. there was the ticket for blue lights. and the one for loud noise "excessivly loud stereo" it was only halfway up officer.

then there was the 87 200sx

expired temp tags
no turn on red

I got a 85 in a 50 in my moms car around the same time

91 dodge stealth

45 in a 25 I think

the truck

no front liscense plate
85 in a 50
80 in a 50 same place two months later
nother no front license plate

and I can remember al the times I've been pulled over and let go

 

Dont forget, if you change your blinder fluid ever 3,000 blinks and all those "NOS" stickers add like 80hp to the front wheels.

 

I don't get tickets! I issue them!..................

 

Sure they did.

Tenors were 4 bangers and baratones were V8's.

 

Then i think we would be pretty good friends, because im pretty good at getting them and your good at writing them lol.

 

I have probably gotten about 30-40 tickets in my 15 years of driving. Proably should have gotten a lot more but I got away.

 

I owe my Job security to you! Thanks!...............
