[QUOTE=cmyX5go;676334]I know...I'm sooo fookin excited. I started behaving myself driving to work today. I need to get in a different mind set. I can't be driving home the way I drive around here. Those good ole boys won't take kindly to a New Yorker with a vowel and the end of her name tearing up their roadway in a shiny new BMW. I don't think my get out of jail free cards will work down there.

I am sure a nice smile will still work.

Thanks, but I'd rather not have to try.

Or just lean over and show them your "hands" yeah that's it hands

And us southern boys do not know what to do when a beautiful woman buys us a drink...that would help too getting out of the clink.

Maybe it'll work in Virginia. I don't know of anyone that's ever gotten a warning ticket but there's a first time for everything.

I live in northern Virginia, and about 8 years ago, just after I bought a Mercedes slk, was driving East on Rt. 66 at about 85 and was nabbed by a state cop. i told him that I had just bought the car (which I had earlier in the day), and he told me he collected Corvettes...and he asked to see the engine of the slk and interior. Really liked the car, and just mentioned that I "should probably watch my speed in the future". Haven't been pulled over since then, but now with my new 2010 X6 5.0, I had damn well better watch my speed. This thing flies.

I still find limit plus nine works in most locations.

I drove to Burlington VT and back passed 2 MASS Cops hiding and they did nothing.

Coming into Queens on the Clearview and a guy with a radar detector passes me and then gets hid by NYC Police with lazar. and gets pulled over.

Bottom line all cops are out to right tickets but if you use your cruise control and thereby limit your speed you can make good time and not get stopped.

PS The New England thruway around Bridgeport is scary. Each time I go through there kids in is low riders are racing and making dumb moves cutting in and out. The cops should get them!

Cruise = not recommended during break-in. One should vary the revs whenever possible, not exceeding 5000rpm or 160km/h. Plus, I don't recommend cruise control for I-81 because it's too hilly and the system will try too hard to compensate.

Matt, agree on the need for variable speed/rpm during break in, but
wouldn't a run up I-81 offer some good variation. Dunno what part(s)
"will try too hard to compensate" ...
L leases her car(s) anyway.

I'm going to drive it the way I plan on driving it....Just a little easier on the accelerator until I get to my neck of the woods.

I've never really driven different during breakins other than not jumping on her and redlining.
