Knock on wood, thus far I have not been pulled over... I always have my front plate on the car

Question should be, "have you pulled over a Camaro yet"?

Answer: Yes, once. I stopped a '10 LS with ugly aftermarket wheels for no license plates. Car was all beat up and half wrecked. Car had expired registration. Turned out the owner was hiding it from the lender, beating up the car before it got repo'd. Sad story.

Yes, Third day of ownership, I was doing a performance check on the Tap-shifter.

CRChevy · 10-06-2011, 06:23 PM

Well , I've had 2 5gens and have been pulled over roughly 5 or 6 times but no speeding tickets ever. 90% of those were when I had my 24" on !!

The day I got my white ss rs I got pulled over going home to Miami for riding in the Hov lane by myself fresh off the lot!!!! I was so excited nervous and going the speed limit I was just 15mins off enforcement time and I got a 100 ticket

I'm gonna have to admit I hate this violation especially when the tint is really dark and will pull over everyone of them I see. Can't say its cause I am bored. We actually caught one guy with a color copy of someone else's tag underneath a slightly tinted cover. Hammered him good and towed his ride sorry about his luck...

Yeah right... I have pulled over several... all of them got warnings

but one--- speeding, driving suspended, and no insurance but I helped him in court he wasn't the owner of the car.

I got a ticket on my way to DFW airport to rent the damn car for awhile before I bought one. Ticket was in my wifes Toy Corolla, 65 in 35, stupid airport construction. Then I was repremanded for not giving him my CHL with my driver's license. Gun was in the glovebox because my truck was in the shop. So I guess aside from being really to easy, those classes leave out a few important details.

Since I've had my new baby....I've gotten lucky twice, but I pick my battles wisely and respect our officers by not speeding around them.

Texas law allows you to carry in your glove box, no CHL needed, if you are a traveler. I have been told to let LEO know about the pistol in your glove box as soon as they approach your car but there is no law prohibiting you from being armed (it must be concealed) while you are traveling.

$5 seatbelt ticket

Muscle SS · 11-07-2011, 09:35 AM

Was running behind schedule one day and ripped it from 0-50 in front of a police station, where the speed limit is 30. Next thing I know, one of the cars pulled out and pulled me over. Told me he was gonna let me go at 46-47, but then I stomped on it. He gave me a warning but told me to change my license plate and not to treat his city like a drag strip.

DietCoke · 11-07-2011, 09:36 AM

nope

600hp-lpe · 11-07-2011, 09:50 AM

Got a ticket for speeding on the first day.

95 in a 70 mph zone. Cop wrote the ticket for 89 mph..
which I promptly paid. My bad....

jcollins91106 · 11-07-2011, 12:20 PM

I was pulled three days after I bought my SS. Virginia state police paced me for 4 miles 68 in a 55 and then into 35 zone..... He asked " I'd you not see me following you for 4 miles?" I said " no sir, I was just driving enjoying the car...sorry" he took my liscense and came back to my car 5 mins later and said " being honest got you out of a ticket tonight son" slow down and enjoy that thing.

BowtieBelle · 11-07-2011, 12:25 PM

Yes. I was being VERY naughty

Luckily, the cop was cool (it was the night I bought it, after all)
