So what you're saying is they were looking for you and caught
Dwight? Hmmm, sounds like someone owes someone else a case of Bud.

Not hardly. We're talking about a highway that has its own website
(http://www.us202-300.com/). There are periodic short stretches of cattle
chutes, overhead bridges being replaced, lane widening. In truth, not the
place to be speeding anyway. But, human nature being what it is, traffic
speeds up between the construction zones, and that's where the police are
waiting. This is a heavily travelled corridor (completely clogged every
morning and afternoon, a constant fixture in the local traffic reports).

We all know about the speed traps, but every once in a while the police will
set up a harvest area and, really, have their choice of drivers to pull
over.

Dave is talking about a nice downhill run with a sweeping turn that takes
you right into the radar. In my case, it was a construction-free stretch of
highway, right where it merges with a secondary highway, a spot known for
bad accidents (this whole "merging" thing... so confusing!). I was one of a
handful of vehicles all doing 75 or better, and the cops had their pick.
They picked me.

What troubles me is that my spidey sense has worked amazingly well since my
last speeding ticket in 1990. In this case, I was asleep at the wheel and
cruised right into the kill zone. Stupid, stupid, stupid. I'm going to tape
the citation to my sun visor.

Second week of the '07 GT 5sp the wife got pinched in it.
She got off as the young cop was suprised to see a 50yr old woman driving in
a spirited fashion in a new 'stang. .
Don't think a "vintage" flash would have worked anyway.......heheheh
She has a Valentine One onboard full time now, and I've got a new one for
me, worth the investment with ticket/insurance fees nowadays.
It's been a year now and she's not been stopped yet and what was that
''annoying beep" when she rode with me has now become her friend.

Joe and I stop and consider buying a bottle of Geritol while going down
the supermarket isles now.

I'm not at the Geritol stage just yet, but I do check for bottles of
cabernet sauvignon on sale every time we go...

Dealing with the Mustang is just too much of a project for the immediate
future. I also need a little cash infusion given the recent state of
the nation, not to mention the garage space. It's going in the local
paper next week.

I've considered it myself.

Considered and dismissed.

I'm afraid that I'll still own both '93s on the day that Congress passes new
fines for having a) more than six cylinders, b) getting less than 20mpg, or
c) still having an internal combustion engine fueled by gasoline.

I consider it and then drive it and dismiss all consideration. But I
don't wanna sell the Thunderbird either. I'm so confused....
