Anybody got a ticket for the FRS yet?

I got a ticket for speeding and not stopping at a stop sign.

This car is a cop magnet. I've been pulled over twice in the past month.

You just need to spot the cops before they spot you.
Always have an eye out!

Cops have been trying to bait me in the FR-S since day 0. On my test drive, a cop slowed down to almost 20 mph on a major road trying to get me mess up. I feel like everyone else on the road knew what he was trying to do and were pissed at me.

I always drive @ speed limit on major roads and I always make sure to stay behind a squad car if we're on the same road. I never pass their rear bumper unless I'm in traffic. Only team I speed (10 over the limit at most) is on the side road shortcut to my job and back but only because I have ever street and cop hiding spot memorized on that road (There are only five of them). It's also a pretty good driving road so it's a nice outlet after a rough day at work.

Premium gas is too expensive to speed.

I had a state cop flash his lights at me, I looked down and realized I wasn't speeding at all only to have him pull beside me and give me a thumbs up.

I drive way more cautiously now that I have the FR-S than I have in any other car, it is already an attention whore for everyone on the road so I know cops are looking too.

77 in a 60 highway. The cops are very strict here in VA. Luckily the ticket only cost me $170. What's the best way to keep it from going on my record?

I got pulled over just a day or so ago. The cop came up to the window and said "what the fuck is this thing?" He was giving me a warning since I had no inspection or paper tags

If your state allows driving school to remove a ticket I would go that route. If it doesn't you would have to fight it in court.

Got my first ticket ever.
Parking ticket though - trying to appeal it seeing as there's a rumor that the first can be appealed if I go through the school (was on campus)

Pulled over on Hwy 1 in Mendocino for (he claimed) 69 in a 55. I'm pretty sure I was only doing about 60 and he was coming at me from the opposite direction as I was slowing down for a bridge.

He had me step out of the vehicle, asked me if I had consumed any alcohol (I had not), and then talked about the car with me for a bit. Let me off with a warning and told me to have fun but stay safe. I made sure to stay at 55 exactly for the rest of the drive.
