No tickets in 11 years. I think its the dark color that doesn't stand out.

I agree with the color theory. Got my ticket with the red SC, but not with the Marine Blue Carrera. It's got nothing to do with your driving

Karma, and perhaps being 41.....

saved my a$$ last Saturday......cruising home (930), on the toll hwy (no traffic, concrete 4 laner). I see this YELLOW thing in my rear view gaining fast, and I can see virtually NO light underneath it (it is LOW)......I'm doing 75 in a 62? (120 in a 100 kmh), which is perfectly acceptable here......so, up beside me screams this yellow Lambo Diablo.....with 2 30 somethings driving......I drop into 3rd, we go side by side for maybe 4 seconds.....to 100 or so, and then I back out of it, and so does he.....he slides in front of me, and then we slow back to 70 or so.....and under the very next bridge......yep, 3 Ontario Provincial Police with radar....(state trooper equivalents).....they all stare as we glide by quietly.....at the next exit the Lambo gets off, small wave.....I continue on....and 2 exits later.....another OPP....I'm still doing 70, and I am sure he is anticipating my arrival.....I smile, he smiles......washed the car when I got home, and enjoyed the fact that I am 41, and if I were 25, I would likely still be in jail.......so far, no tickets in the Pcar, or on the bike, ever.
I never race on the street, because EVERYONE seems to want to race the Porsche, and it would just be a full time job if I took them all up on it......but GAWD, do I love to pass on boost......

I guess i better explain...

Flew down 5th of july 2005, drove car from Texas to louisiana to stop by my Aunts house.

The road looked familiar. I was here 8 years before....

"WOOOooooooo"

Oh, yeah, that was were that nasty speed trap was.

After accepting the ticket, the cell phone in the car had 1 message...from my aunt. "WAtch that road with the speed trap, you dont want to get a ticket!"

[sigh]
