[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2334110, member: 9374"] I have slowed down quite a bit in my older years... most of the time nowadays in the Tahoe I do about 2-3 over on the highways. In the Z it is tough... I generally do the same, but once in a while, I open it up. Bad habit. Got pulled over at near triple-digits by one of our local OHP guys. Wasn't even opening it up (not even CLOSE, lol), just was cruising a bit fast, that car is so smooth it's hard to tell sometimes. He was cool, started with the whole very stern, "Sir, do you have your license and insurance on you?" routine - trooper hat snugly on, hugging my left rear quarter, kinda outta sight and all that. I had pulled off in a parking lot, well off the road, windows down, hands up on the wheel at 10 & 2, radio off, etc. Being a good, non-threatening, non-suspicious citizen. When I said, "Yes, sir, just one moment," and took off my sunglasses, he recognized me, as I had taken care of his very young son just a few weeks prior and got them "special treatment" as we always do in our ER for our LEOs, he said, "Awww hey, man, where you going? To work?" I replied in the affirmative and tried to hand him my DL and insurance, he just smiled and said, "You're okay, man." Thanked him, shook his hand and headed off to work. Had I gotten a ticket, I sure wouldn't have complained a whit. My bad, my consequences. But he cut me a break. I'm trying to be better... lol. [/QUOTE]
