What were you expecting? A high speed chase? A run to the emergency room? A need to take a massive shit? Racing a ricer?

You're awesome.

If steering with your knees and hitting close to 100 mph on a highway swerving in and out of traffic with one hand taking a picture of your speedometer to post on facebook with some witty line about the police and pounding a red bull with the other hand is wrong...

I don't want to be right?

(Moral of story? well there really isn't one, but just be careful and be safe out there )

I'm gonna keep telling myself that so I sound convincing when the cop pulls me over... But the sign says max 130 min 85???

no, it's you saying things like showing the cop you were pissed, then continues speeding.
pure idiocy and disrespect

Relax man, just be responsible. If you feel embarrased I'll have you know Ive gotten 4 speeding tickets in my corolla paying over $1600 in one year. Ive since learned but even today I got a little ancy and had fun doing 120 to work. Generally I drive conservative because I know what I drive, but I havent been in an Auto X for quite some time. That being said I say be a gentlemen, drive nice, and unleash it at a track/course, because thats where you need to be.

Are some of you actually reverse-bragging about getting tickets and losing licenses? Really?

This may sound like a stupid question, but didn't he tell you?
