My Ride: 2009 Alpine White BMW 535i xDrive
I was getting out of work and on the FDR highway it seemed like a nice clean stretch of what putting the pedal to the metal when at the end of the stretch I see a Highway Patrol officer in the middle of the highway extending his arm out pointing me to take my ass to the curve lol. I was doing maybe 105 but when I saw the patrol car (which was overshadowed by the bridge) I slammed my brakes and he caught me at 76 
After the officer runs my license, he comes back to me and says, "You have a really nice car there but you really need to slow down sir".
I tell him, "Thank you officer, enjoy the rest of your evening".
I think its time for me to invest in a radar detector/jammer. Any suggestions which one is best and discreet?

Dude - you should take that down ASAP. Posting a picture of a personally identifiable ticket and admitting to running significantly quicker than the speed you were actually booked at probably isn't the brightest of ideas...
