Mini coops are awesome. When my current car is paid off I plan on getting a mini coop as a second car and get one of those awesome paint jobs, may even do pink/white with black racing stripes.

I got pulled over several times but only have gotten one speeding ticket.
I was driving the station wagon when I got the ticket.
I never got one when I drove the camero, Trans am, or any of the other cars I had.
Even the Buick regal with the V8, slicks and hood intake that was made for racing. Never got a speeding ticket in it.

So PTA Mom got a ticket, but Bad Girl in a Muscle Car didn't. Were you showing cleavage? Did the cops ask you out?
Ummmm.....
Yes. I have been asked out several times by police.

I got the most speeding tickets when I drove a Ford Escort. Made no sense to me. And once they pull you over and run your license and see you had a previous ticket, they will find a reason to give you another ticket, no warnings ever. Then a cop I knew that pulled me over told me the bumper sticker I had on the car was a "signal" to cops to pull the car over. I peeled that sucker right off as soon as I got home and it did get better almost immediately.

I drove an Escort for almost 15 yrs. Loved that car.
I got pulled a couple times in it. Never got a ticket though.
What was the bumper sticker?

It it was a bumper sticker of the sun that I found and I loved it. Apparently it was a Greatful Dead sticker. I looked all over the sticker and it didnt have any GD lyrics or symbols on it. But it was supposedly known to the cops as being a "Dead Head sticker" so I took it off. My problems decreased after that significantly. While I had that sticker on I got pulled over for going 5 MPH over the limit. I mean who gets pulled over for that?
