Default blew by a cop today

so i'm driving home, and there's this nice long on-ramp that i routinely red-line it through third gear on --great fun. today there was an unmarked cop car that i blew by. when he pulls me over, i say i'm not used to this car yet because it accelerates so quickly... i get off with a warning. gotta love it.

3rd gear red-lined is 101 mph (you were very lucky. . .)

Default That's more than luck! I had a similar thing happen...

was coming off an onramp, cop was doing laser at the end of the ramp, pulled me over. I was doing 88 in a 60. I used the same line, he was a car fanatic, loved the RS4 and still gave me an excessive speeding ticket of $457.00... damn!

The worst part is my LLP jammer was sitting in my trunk waiting to get installed.

yeah, it's nice to be treated nicely when you probably don't deserve it.
