You military veterans should get a break!!!! Glad to hear that story. I work at a hospital and if I show my employee badge, they let me slide (or at least they did one time....)

It's hard not to drive these cars fast....

Your car looks very low from behind in that first pic. Did you lower it - and by how much?

If I knew that I would NEVER drive a little sprited I would NOT drive a Corvette. A Corolla would do just fine.

Once in a while a little fun is in order and it doesn't mean that you are irresponsible (unless of course, you ARE).

Nice post for a newbie! Great way to get yourself started here....
OP's like you give the rest of us vette drivers a BAD NAME!

Oh BTW... did I mention I guess I'm one of those "PIG"S you refer to since I'm a state police officer!

Sounds like you got a very good break! Be more mindfull in the future and even more careful. The next time might not be so wondeful! Also, thanks for your service, even though it was USAF. (former USMC here).
