That's the way it goes, sometimes.

On the other hand, think of all the times you made "bad decisions" and DIDN'T end up with a ticket......

Honestly, I don't think any of us has any right to bitch about the tickets we get. I'd bet money that every stinking one was richly desereved.
I know mine have all been....

A police officer must see 10,000 nicer-than-his cars being driven by kids every day. I doubt it bothers them much.
Does it bother you? Do you hate it when you see a rich kid driving a new BMW/Porsche/Mercedes? Most people don't give it a second thought....and cops are just like "most people".

I really had no idea that so many people gauge their self worth on what kind of car they drive. Whats not to understand here. Most people could own a c4 if they wanted one. It comes down to priorities. Hell a new civic costs more than most c4's. Not everyone is jealous of someone else with something better. If we judged ourselves based on other people posessions no one would ever be happy.
