And yes, they use planes, helicopters, timed measure road marks, laser, radar, and likely sputnik to keep GA drivers in check and in our checkbook. I’m thinking that this single law may solve the state budget crunch -- lucky if you get GA drivers to keep it under 85 in a school zone.

I'm relying heavily on my cruise control to keep me at 35, 40, 45 and every other speed limit in town and on the hiway. I don't have any tickets and prefer to keep it that way.
The only concern I have is the whole muscle car profiling going on. I've got a Red Jewel SS/RS and on a sunny day she stands out from the pack. If a Honda Fit is going 90 past me, the cop is going to pull me over, it's been disgussed already and I've contacted OnStar and they have no way of monitoring our speed.
What to do???
