I recieved a speeding ticket for doing 89 in a 65 back in May and decided to go to court to get the fine reduced. The Judge called me up and said "So, you were doing 89 in a 65 zone in "The Ultimate Driving Machine" huh?" I admitted my guilt with a no contest plea and he reduce the fine from $283 to $183 which included the $29 traffic school fee. Not to bad I guess. I was worth going to court for a few hours. I just wanted to let everyone know that even traffic court Judges acknowledge the fact these are the ultimate driving machines.

LOL nice one!
That is a cheap price to pay for going 24 over the limit.
I will try to do the same for my red light (yellow-light) ticket.

I was just in Henderson this weekend and everybody was passing me up on Eastern Ave. Everybody was doing at least 60 mph. There was no posted speed limit though, but I don't think it's 60 mph.

People drive really fast in Henderson/Las Vegas. I think the speed limit is 45 on Eastern Ave. People around here are either way over the limit or driving 10 mph under the limit.
As for my situation, I got busted on one of those middle of nowhere 2 lane roads with alot of curves, you know, the type of road that all E60 owners live for!!
