Tickets N Da Vette
Ok I've been driving my 04 since April and have managed to avoid a speeding ticket (so far)! The temptation to take liberties with the speed limits are strong 
. I haven't had a speeding ticket since 1976 as a measure of how I drive. 
Soooo my question is..How many tickets have you received because you were driving your vette.

None! But one in the DD since I've owned the Vette..... 
Before the Vette - oh let's see, it probably been over 20 years. 
Had one real close call in the Vette though - would have been 30 over.....

No tickie 4 me in 2+ years. I got ignored by radar cop while going 55 in a 45 recently. I don't speed much. I like blasting from 0-45 (or so) quickly. 
By then I'm smiling so much it diminishes my vision. Gotta slow down!

One in my 2000 for 48 in a 35 (I thought it was 40, really). But I've been pulled over and warned 5-6 times. I must have an honest face... BTW, The only one of my C5s I wasn't pulled over in was the Z06, go figure?

My only speeding ticket in the corvette, was a guy with a chip on his shoulder, i was slowing down on an on ramp, and at the end of the corner there's a 35mph speed limit.....I was on a date, i wasn't showing off or pushing it...but that's my one and only speeding ticket....he walked up to the car said

3 years no tickets. Pulled over 5 times. 75 in a 55, 70 in a 55 twice, 65 in a 55 twice. I've hit 150mph, but I did't get caught. I guess the cops like me. I keep it under 100mph 99% of the time.
