Hard-core CEG'er
Well, got my first ticket last night haha, I was in Clarks Summit around here at the Sheetz getting cigarettes with my friend, we were about to leave and I noticed the guy next to us was staring sort of, but I'm usually oblivious to what's going on around me so I didn't really think anything about it and began to pull out when I noticed he was driving a contour. I got around the back and saw an SVT badge, so I pulled right back in and began talking to him, bullted for a little bit and I told him about CEG, pulled out and left. Obviously I had to pull out quickly:laugh: and then I noticed he was in the lane next to me, so you know, you meet someone with another 'Tour, especially an SVT, you gotta show off a little bit.
I think of it as the automotive equivalent of a friendly greeting.
So we sped up the hill towards the light, I went left and he went straight, about 200 feet down the road I notice some Crown Vic lights in my rearview, so I pulled over. Now that area has the worst cops I've ever seen, they'll pull you over for doing 2mph over the speed limit and he walks up to the window and tells me he clocked me doing 56 in a 25.
By some ridiculous stroke of luck, I got the nicest cop ever, he was asking me about the little thing with the SVT and asking if it was a race, so I sort of explained it was just a little showing off, and he actually said to me: "Well you were both going about the same speed but I could only pull over one of you, he was going straight and you just happened to go left, so unfortunately I had to pull you over.
At this point I'm laughing in my mind, I've never had a speeding ticket before and I can't believe my luck, this guy comes back with my ticket and tells me that he wrote down that I was doing 46 in a 25 instead of the 56 he clocked me at, I think he felt bad that he pulled me over hahaha.
Oh well, a $160 ticket sounds fair to me considering all the stuff I've gotten away with in the 6 years I've been driving.
And to the T-red E1 owner (sorry I'm awful with names) welcome! PM me and I'll give you my number so we can hang out around here sometime.
