Come to think of it, I released the hounds on a country highway while passing day before yesterday, so there.

Same. WOTing costs too much nowadays.

We should make it a requirement to vote before posting. Considering how hard it is to click twice (once on the option of ur choice, second on vote).. versus typing out a post, I completely understand why people dont bother LOL

i don't WOT that often...way too many cops on the GTA roads to happily hand out the tickets.

WOT is not as much fun when you have to basically stop at 3rd gear cause you're already at 120 :\

+1 about the cops, but why cant you go WOT up to the speed limit..or 10+ the speed limit, so in a 80 zone, you get up to 90 95 and then slow down.. I would love to laugh in the face of the cop as he gives me a 40$ 0 demerit point ticket. "What quota are you filling with a 40$ ticket dumb a$$"

With all the cops on the road, the increased chances of getting a ticket, the high insurance costs, the high cost of gas, it boggles my mind how so many of you are going WOT so often...

I will do it once in a blue moon, on an empty road late in the evening just to open her up and remember what the VQ35 feels like...otherwise I try to aim to get near 600km per tank.

i have the problem of never having enough room to go wot. with the wintertires it wasn't so bad, since they would just spin at even 2/3 throttle. with the summers and the tightened suspension, there's just no point, on the rare occasion i'm out in the country and need to pass, well there's no holding her back. i'm more likely to drop into 3rd in the tunnel and give it a bit of gas.

One of my family members got one this weekend whilst we were in the Niagara region. To be fair, the cop was relatively nice as we were going roughly 40 over.

Funniest twist is that is probably costs more in fuel to drive back and pay the ticket, than the ticket itself.

LOL.... so sad but true, none-the-less 40 over is a completely different issue. 10 more and he would have sad to the g for a week.

I'll have to watch my WOT's gas hit 1.45\litre in Sudbury for Premium today. Think I'll take my old Mazda B2200 to work.
