Hey, just wondering what kinda tickets you all have gotten with your s-10. I got one for spinning my tires just a little bit from a gravely stop sign. They spun about 10 ft, both of them, wasnt even on purpose. Well, anyway, i got nailed for neg driving. $490.00, what a crock. I never lost control, didnt even go sideways at all, the tires didnt smoke, didnt squeal, didnt leave marks. Then i hear the police report my frist time to court, and it says 28ft of dark black, and 10 ft of light black, it also says one tire. WHAT A LIAR!!! They didnt leave any marks, and i have limited slip, and they both ALWAYS spin, ALWAYS. Well, yeah, thats my ticket. Havent gotten nailed for speeding or racing yet, although my neighbor is a sherrif, and he heard about me racing(got reported 2 times) he said he wouldnt tell my parents, just to stop. After that, he also said \"You better have won\"... i did. One more thing, my truck, can easily leave 130+ ft marks(im sure all of ours can, with street tires), but they didnt that time, and im pissed.

Good luck with the court date. Make sure you have a thorough knowledge of how your limited slip diff works so you can explain it to the judge. Sounds like that\'s all you\'ll need to get off.
I (knock on wood) haven\'t gotten any tickets yet, but I thought I was gonna be done for sure one night. To give you a little background, the cops around my area are the biggest pricks I have ever come across. I\'ve been pulled over, asked if I had any drugs in the car, pulled out of the car and searched, and then let go. When I asked why I got pulled over in the first place the cop makes something up and takes off. One reason was \"Uhh, your engine sounded kinda loud and I wanted to make sure you weren\'t having car trouble.\" This was when I was driving my first car, a 1987 Suzuki Samurai with like, a 1.5 liter 4 banger or something. Loud? I don\'t think so. Pretty much the cops around here just pick on anyone under the age of 25 expecting them all to be drug dealers.
Anyway, so I get pulled over around 1:00am coming home from the bar. Since I was driving my truck I made sure not to get trashed, but I did have a couple beers. Oh yeah, I have no cats on my truck and Jersey laws give a $1000 fine per missing cat.
First thing the cop says to me is, \"You know that exhaust\'s illegal, right?\" I\'ve got 40series flowmasters on it with 2.5 inch duals and it\'s pretty loud, even at idle. So I say, \"yeah, it\'s kinda loud huh?\" The cop smirks and starts bullshitting with me about what I got under the hood, what mods, tranny etc. When he asked about the exhaust I thought I was a goner, but he turned out to be one of the few cool cops around here.
Anyway, after running my liscense and seeing I wasn\'t wanted or anything he comes back to my window and goes, \"you were just idleing this thing through town weren\'t you?\" I go, \"yeah, I was trying to keep it as quiet as possible.\"
Here\'s the best part:
So he says, \"Man, if that was idleing, I\'d love to hear what this thing sounds like opened up! If ya want, you can get on it pulling out of here. Have a good night.\"
So, never one to dissapoint, I do a 100ft long smokey burnout and take off down a highway on ramp on the way back to my house.
Imagine what someone driving by would have thought when they saw a truck tearing away from a traffic stop with the cop walking back to his car with the cherries still flashing!
It took a long time to convince my buddies I wasn\'t making the whole story up. Some of them still don\'t believe me. http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif

I didn\'t have anything that bad. But I got my truck and here in IL you need truck plates and the freaking state gave me passanger vehicle plates.Well anyways the cops dont like that to much here......turns out the title to my truck says it\'s a van.....go figure. Anyways I have gotten pulled over for doing 5 under the speed limit, I have also gotten pulled over and because my truck is in primer he thought it was stolen..WTF! I\'ve gotten pulled over a ton, but only got one ticket from a dick head cop for no proof of insurance, because my x-girlfriends name was on the card....but it was current, and both of out names were on the policy....uggg.

I\'ve been decently lucky with my blazer. I had a bunch of speeding tickets in my fullsize truck. I\'ve gotten 1 speeding ticket, and an improper lane change.
The speeding ticket he wrote me up for loud exhuast, and no front plate.
Guy pulled right out in front of me. Instead of slamming on the brakes, I cut to the other lane, stared yelling at him, then got on it and sped away. Of course the stately only saw me swerve and speed up, not him cut me off. And, he \"heard me nail it and squeal the tires\". I just hit the gas a little, didn\'t downshift or anything. I told him he was full of shit, and I\'d show him breaking the tires loose. He didn\'t like that any.

i haven\'t had any tickets with my truck..yet..lol. the last ticket i got was something stupid like endagering the public...long story made short, i had a 89 camaro acouple years ago and i was cruising down the backroads...well cruiseing at about 110mph and i come into this really awsome corner and i admit i was really pushing the limit of the car, well there was a firebird comeing at me in the other lane and i kinda ran him in the ditch...lol.
Well i didn\'t stop, the guy didn\'t crash so why stop. I went to town and stopped to get gas, well while i was filling up, guess who pulled into the gas station...dude in a firebird..lol. Well after a few nasty words about how i ran him in the ditch... i told him to go F**K. It seems about that time 3 squad cars pulled in.
It happened to be that this guy was an off duty officer that was taking his girlfriend to dinner. And she had called the cops while we were arguing. Oh yeah... i was drunk and had a revoked license. lets just say i spent enough money on fines that i probaly bought them a new squad car.
I behave myself now. http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif

Man i must be lucky. Cops in my city are ass***** too. In the past 5 to 6 years i have been pulled over at least 12 to 15 times and i never got a ticket. I think the one thing that gets me by with out getting a ticket is a military ID. No I am not tryign to get you guys or girls in the military, but having one sure does help.

(by the way my freind in the mustang said he topped out at about 195 and the cop folloed me because i was going a lot faster so we both got off in the end)

Hey, just to let you all know. About a week ago, i went to court, for my ticket. I had 4 pics, and some more evidence on my situation. Anyway, i presented it against the statement, the officer didnt show, and i won. So yeah, i won, dont have to pay anything. I gotta look out now though, just put on my new tires, 245/60/15 Cooper Cobra Radial GT and boy do they squeal, like no other, just a little tap of the gas.

Heh, I\'ve been pulled over or confronted by cops 5 times already but no tickets. I\'ve had my license for about 1 1/2 years.
My first run in was kinda funny because my boss lives on the same road as me and after work one night at about 10pm I issued a joking challenge that I would get home before she did. So I thought she ignored it and I went out and pulled onto the main road and all of a sudden I see her tearing through the parking lot towards the shorter exit. Well I said hell no and gunned it by before she could pull out and I had to stop at a red light to turn left with her behind me. Well the light turns green and as I\'m rounding the corner, my tires squeal, and it just so happends that the only other car on the entire road was a cop car and it was on the section I was turning to. Anyways he whips around a U turn and pulls me over with my boss driving by and laughing her a$$ off the entire time. He accused me of <b>\"driving sideways\"</b> and let me go on a warning. I still get a kick out of that one... driving sidways...
The second time I had a confrontation was once again at work when I was driving the Mercedes... I was inside getting my schedule and so I started my car because it has a remote starter. Anyways about one minute later I\'m walking outside and a cop car is pulled up behind my car and he\'s running the plates. He gives me this little lecture on how it\'s illegal to leave your car running without you in it and blah blah blah and when he got done I showed him how my doors were locked and that it\'s a remote starter with legal backing and approval. He said \"oh\" and left http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif
The very next day I was driving home doing 7-10 over and the same exact guy (small town, only like 4 cops) pulls me over. He recognizes and and starts laughing, he didn\'t even get all the way to my window or ask for any id, he just yelled \"slow it down a little\" and drove off.
Third time was ironic because I was trying to catch up to my friend on a small windy 25mph road towards his house and I\'m doing like 60 and I fly by this cop that just happened to be on this road while rounding a corner. I checked my mirror and I didn\'t see his brake lights come on so I sighed relief and kept on it incase he decided to change his mind. So anyways a pull into my friends driveway and get out and all of a sudden the cop pulls in out of nowhere behind me. Anyways he didn\'t have his radar out so he didn\'t have proof on me but he checked my license and registration and let me off.
anyways thats enough typing for now,

this post isnt big enuf to list all my tickets. in the last 17 years ive been driving i collected a few dooseys. the best one was when i was stationed in germany i had my gt40 mustang 5.0. saleen suspension. VERY FAST> well back then they were few and far between. i was on the AUTOBAN doing 145mph( not kph) when i hit the exit. the exit had a 60k (38mph) speed limit and i tripped the radar. they use cameras there. no denying your caught. that cost me 600 dollars.
