Default RS4 ticket...am I the first?

It was bound to happen. I got stopped going 102mph on a dry, empty rural highway at 12:30 at night. Fudge. :-(

The officer said, "do you have a death wish??" Uh, I didn't feel like anyone's life was at risk, including my own. I thought that was a little melodramatic.

I love the car, of course, but this harshes my buzz tonight. I was hoping Daytona would be a little more cop-friendly.

PS I'm still observing the break-in period. The RPMs were at 4700 in sixth gear.

Yep. No break. 102 in a 70. Sucks.

Default No deer in Michigan?

Even driving within the limit at night in Iowa requires a bit of a death wish. On a short drive yesterday I saw three dead deer from the night before.

Default Funny you mention the deers. Yesterday when I was landing our aircraft at a remote regional...

Airport, a huge black bear ran across the runway. We had to have the airport authority chase it down with a truck to make sure it wasn`t going to cross the runway during the actual landing phase. The criter really got excited when we went by it with the aircraft.

BTW, deers are a big problem at a lot of airports in the USA and Canada.
