Re: Cop stories

["Mark Dent" <mark@dealermats.com>]

I got pulled over for 87 in a 65 in the middle of nowhere Virginia.  I was
driving the 67 with the Zetec.  The Cop was in a sh*t mood and it was an
obvious speed trap since he had 5 of us pulled over all from out of state.
I did not even try to get out of it because I was in front.  I noticed the
courthouse address was a PO Box so it was apparent all they wanted was $$$.
I sent a copy of the ticket, a photo of the car (It looks stock) and a copy
of a R&T from 66 showing the top speed of a 1500 was 85 MPH.  I explained
that my 30+ year old Datsun could not have gone 87.  Case dismissed

I always wondered if the gauges were correct, I now know they are dead on.

The best part was as we drove off from the Cop, My 12 year old said "Good
thing we were slowing down"
