What's the point in having a car with ~340bhp when all the speed limits are roughly 20-35mph? Seriously, most of the speed limits here are about 20 or 30. It drives you insane.

All of em are bullshit. I watch my speed like a mofo up here because of how many cops there are. I thought I could get away with two-three measly seconds of fun when nobody's around and I get f'd up the a.

Sounds like you need to look around more for cops before you do these things.

Just get the Radar, it not only helps you but you are more cautious, even when your not speeding.. I think its always good to know what your surroundings are like. And for the laser jammer I think that might be a hell of a good investment for you

Well I ended up figuring out what they do. They hide behind the jungle of bushes that are all around the roads here (it's so overgrown) and they just spring out and bend you over. Trust me, I had it down pat back in St Pete. Only had one ticket and it was for changing lanes too many times (basically just went from the left lane all the way to the right lane on the highway in one move in the middle of a corner. Nobody was around except for a cop, and it was at night so I couldn't tell).

If you ever pass Gville, watch out for bushes lol.

radars don't really help though i bet the cop on the bike doesn't have one they just guess most of the time, and if you have the need for speed just find a road where cops never go. i have like 4 roads i know where i can just gun it and not get fucked (knock on wood)

lol i not provoking people to find roads to be idiots i just have a few roads were i know i can go 20 over the speed limit

UltimateBMW · 09-16-2008, 04:17 PM

BL I know exactly where your head is at right now in not wanting you car there.

It sucks man, even after 1 ticket it sucks. After 3, well.. damn. Just try not to think about it if it is making you sick to your stomache. It sucks that all they need is a instant peg and not a speed over time thing. I've always hated that one instant could cost you so much. A throttle blip can get ya if your not careful.

Sounds like its definately time to invest in a radar detector. Your tickets alone will probably cost you 2x the price of a V1 though. :/

Oh, Boo HOO! Wipe yourself and move on. If you're willing to speed, then you should be willing to pay the ticket when you get caught.

Well, in all fairness, he does drive a BMW.

I don't speed very often (mainly highways a such) and I still love having a car that is faster than a civic. I have an R6 as well, and that is really hard not to speed on.

MTV · 09-16-2008, 05:58 PM

Sucks man. I had too many run ins with the cops this summer. I know how you feel.

m2kev · 09-16-2008, 06:16 PM

Sucks to hear that man, but definitely need a radar like everyone says, look into valentine1. Thats what I got after my first ticket and man this thing saved me one too many time before I had the urge to go WOT. But yea in the end just don't "floor" or "gun" it, just chill, or else this kind of sh!t happens, and its never fun! Hhaha. best of luck man.

MMMazing07 · 09-16-2008, 06:18 PM

going 90 in a civic must feel like 200mph

Park2670 · 09-16-2008, 06:58 PM

Even when im not speeding and my detector goes off I freak out. Im just so used to having to lift off the gas

Actually one let me off for an illegal left hand turn one time. Coming out of a parking garage on campus you can only go right. Well I need to pick my girlfriend up and her class is towards the left. So every day for 2 weeks I just made a left when it was all clear. One day I do it and then all of a sudden I see a motorcycle cop in my rearview mirror. I knew he was for me. So when we get to a clear area he puts his lights on and I pull over, shut the car off, roll the windows down etc. So he walks up and tells me that I made an illegal left, yada yada yada. All I said was I'm sorry, I had been doing it for two weeks. I pick my girlfriend up after class and I just wait until it is all clear and didn't even pay notice the sign. He asks for my license and I tell him it is in my bag in the backseat, if it is OK with him I'm going to get it out. (That way he doesn't think I'm reaching for something.) After he looks at it he just tells me to make a right from now on and go down a different street and lets me off without a ticket.

BMWE90 · 09-16-2008, 10:52 PM

Okay so after your first ticket you didn't care and kept on doing what you were doing. After your 2nd ticket you STILL didn't care and then you got your 3rd one. If that was me I would be driving like a grandpa for the next 18 months so that point will clear up.

It doesn't matter if you think you were going with the flow of traffic. If it seems like you were the leader or if you were going slightly faster than others, you're the fastest one and the crosshair is on you.

And what's the point in having 340hp when you can only go 25-30mpH? I really don't know. Maybe you shouldn't have gotten that HPF kit in the first place. If everyone that owns a 300+ hp vehicle thinks that it gives them the right to speed, the world would be a very deadly place. If you have the need to speed, take it out a track.
