I have no comment on the effectiveness of that excuse. I told the cop I only had 30 mph more til I hit my top speed, but he just started yelling at me with a redneck accent about my jap piece of crap and gave me two points. And suspended my license. And fined me $1000.

Did you guys ever see that failure of a market campaign that Subaru ran? An ad in a car magazine saying "You can drive it so fast, that you'll get so many tickets, that you'll lose your license"? They didn't tell you, but they got the idea from me. I've had a copy of that ad hanging on my wall ever since that fateful night a few years ago.
