How many speeding tickets in your SVX ?

I just got my 4th ticket last week

How about listing these:

#SpeedingTicketsInSVX / #SpeedingWarningsInSVX / #yrs you've owned your SVX

4tickets / 1warning / 9yrs

Anybody else feel that this car is too dang smooth to sense what speed you are going at ?

Simple math tells us that if the above statement is true, then you recieved 8 tickets in 3 years! Holy crap leadfoot!

My last ticket was May 8th 1990.
Three warnings since then, (the only warnings I ever had!) the first one was plain wrong, he got the wrong car, and the second one, was about 5 over in a 400hp truck one Sunday morning, and the last one, I'm sure he got the speeding truck behind me. He pulled over both of us.

That was the joy of living in a state that didnt comunicate with the state my insurance was in... therefore tickets != points. As long as I could afford the ticket, I was OK.

It was also the first 3 years I owned the car, and I was young (21) and lead footed. As you can see now, I am either lucky, smarter, or just drive slower... you decide.

Also, I was living in NJ at the time. And they are speed Nazi's there. The only state I have ever recieved a ticket in was NJ... Warnings were PA(1), NJ(2), and MD(1). Hell I got my FIRST ticket EVER after living in NJ for a MONTH. And I had been driving about 5 years at that point.

No tix/no warnings in nearly 3 years of SVX ownership.

My last speeding ticket came in my fire-breathing, pavement-pounding, tire-blistering, 90 horsepower '86 Suby GL AWD wagon.
