G35 Cop Magnet.........depends!

I went around a corner by my house one Sunday morning after church and
kinda got on it........in my mirrors was a cop........ he followed me for at
least 3 miles but I never gave him a reason to stop me.....thank God for
mirrors! Awareness is the key to staying out of trouble......gotta remember
that one!

I rented a white ford crown vic a while ago when I went on a business trip. It was hilarious watching people slam on their brakes on the freeway whenever I got close.

Many cops are great, but not all cops "have better things to do". If that were true, the lady in front of us at trial wouldn't have gotten a speeding ticket for doing 38 in a 35.

Speaking of tickets, anyone know which insurance I should go with? I just got the boot after 7 years with the same insurance company for too many tickets. 2 speeding tickets in 2005 and 1 illegal turn in 06. I really should have gone to traffic school, but I am just sick of going every 18 months.

Is the G a cop magnet?

Yes, but maybe its because of my 5% window tint.......

I guess he was just running the plates, but I just have the temporary ones anyway. I had the feeling if I would have gone 1mph over he would of pulled me over. I don't really have anything to complain about I guess.

It got me thinking if cops target G35's as speeders? Most cops here in Houston rarely pull over nice cars. I saw a speed trap once on a side road where they pulled over 10 or something cars, but let a brand spanking new F430 through. My dad and I were going 75mph on the interstate and he was going faster then us on the 35mph side road! (yes, we were trying to keep up with him)!
