Any other retarded "getting pulled over" stories out there???
Well, I just read garreTTk's post and it involved Jimmy Buffet. Well, that reminded me of the first time I was allowed to drive the TT alone.
It was a Sunday morning in November, and I had the top down doing about 50 down my road (40 is speed limit), blasting Son of A Sailor. Well, I was on my way to frostbiting (winter sailing) and I figured that would get me in the mood. So, I'm cruising along, and I drive by a cop going in the other direction. He turned around and pulled me over. Now, I do 60 in my Suburban and drive by cops all the time and don't get pulled over, so I thought this was fishy. So the guy asks me for all my info, I give it to him, and I get the ticket for 78 dollars. Well, when he finished talking, I spurted out, "Does the fact that a 16 year old is driving a new red convertible have anything to do with it?" The bastard replies, "Maybe" and walked away!!!! I should've fought the ticket, but I was too upset. I managed to hide the ticket and get a money order. The day I was sending the ticket, my mom walked into my room while I was in the shower, and saw it on my desk. Well, I was screwed, I didn't drive it for a few weeks, but all is now well.
So has anybody else had to experience this sheer injustice before? I mean, that's profiling, is it not?

When I was in England.... (long'sh)
Hi Jamie,
When I was in England I used to own a Ford Cosworth. Now I know it was a ford but this thing was pushing 430bhp from a 2.0ltr engine!. I used to get stopped all the time (I was 21 too!). It go so bad I sold the car as it was just not worth the hassle.
I am hoping the US cops are not going to be the same so we'll see. Of course I am 30 now! but from what I've seen over here they have better things to do, must have just been having a bad day.
Hope it doens't happen again

NO, it's called speeding.......> more
I'm guessing that the suburban is not red? RED or "ARREST ME RED" can be seen from over 1.5 miles away and catches your eye. Thus you get noticed! You were speeding, you broke the law, you got caught, you have to pay for it! I'm not preaching, I'm a realist. I got pulled over on my red & white motorcycle and "cars" were passing ME. The helicopter saw "ME" on my flashy bike and didn't care about anyone else. This is called LIFE and it aint fair. Deal with it!
PS: THAT's why RED aint the fastest color! =;^)
