Jesus people, you're driving a 2700lb missile, don't ever forget that.
I agree. I work in a shopping center too, and sometime I have idiots doing donut in the parking lot just similar to that red circle place ( in the rear, open space.) Also sometimes try to drag race a 0-60 mph.

I have to say that I hate those little **** why doing it in a parking lot. Can you realize... Parking Lot ? When you want to pull stuff like that go to a ring or a track.

These are parking lot for employee. And these **** doing donut does not even work here.

I wanted to call cops many times with their license plate number. Now I know what charges to tell them.


Thanks

This is timely. I just got a Firestorm yesterday and everyone was picking on me about being a cop magnet. "Whatever", I thought... Just waiting to see if there is a trend posted on here.

Do the tow-hook license plate thing or use zip ties to attach your plate. Don't ruin the bumper with holes...

Got 3 speeding tickets in one of my old cars (98 Eclipse GS-T, owned from 2001-2005) but nothing in my tC (2005-2013) or the new FR-S. Knock on wood.

I suppose after paying something like $1,200+ in fees between the three, I just wised up and stopped driving like a jackwagon.

Hi all - new to the forum, but discovered it because of my search for a backup camera on my 2013 FR-S 6MT (I went with the Rydeen DUO, with some sloping modification to get the right angle). My car is Argento, so not a typical cop magnet color. I've already been pulled over twice, once legitimately, 85/65 (got off with a warning), and once for 72/65. That one really annoyed me. For reference, I never got pulled over on the same road after over 2 years going at least 90 in a 2001 A4 2.8. Also, I should say, everyone goes fast on this particular road, so I wasn't blowing past traffic.

Anyway, after pull-over #2, I invested in a Blinder Laser Jammer (HP-905 Compact), with two front and two rear sensors. I also added an Escort 9500ix with a BlendMount. That was a week ago. I have since gotten through 2 laser speed traps. I should say, I don't speed like a crazy person, but I do keep up with 80+mph traffic, which never got me pulled over before my new purchase...
