I'm sure LEOs appreciate a nice sports car just like everyone else.

Never hesitate to politely ask for a verbal warning.....if you can make a brief case for having a really good driving record and will take a warning to heart......I usually responded positively to a respectful (non-whining) request....

Yep, fess up. I know what you did, it may have been a mistake, and if your up front in a respectful manner you may just get a break. Contrary to popular belief, I never got a cut of the revenue.

I get a lot of waves. I also get followed alot. The area I love in is notorious for being a speed trap. I think they're just waiting for me to go 1 mph over the posted limit so the can tag me. I've had friends written up for going 1 mph over!!
I tend to go at or below the posted limit.

Apparently not enough to let me out of a ticket - I received an "unsafe lane change" ticket in December 2014. I am always super respectful and cooperative with authority. He must have owned a Mustang

Yes we love them. Most of us either have one or want one.
I've had my crystal red C7 vert for 18 months and 27,100 miles. I was stopped for the first time on Monday, for speeding, in Big Bear Lake, a mountain resort near LA. I asked the Sheriff for a break and got off with a warning. My home and business are within close proximity to four police jurisdictions: LAPD, LA County Sheriff, Glendale PD, and California Highway Patrol. I regularly get honks and waves from cops. I've gotten numerous compliments on my Vette from cops. What is your experience?
