Just picked up my new coupe on Saturday!

Thanks for all of the welcomes and congrats! I am still in shock that it's mine!
When I get out and look back, I have to do a double take. lol
I should have been more specific on the VA laws: 20 over the limit or 80 mph (whichever is less) is reckless. So, 45 in a 25 is reckless. Or 80 in a 65.
And then 90+ on ANY road is jail for that 1 day for every mph over 90.

No Worries
Just go ahead and get a good radar detector (with stealth) and be prepared to conceal. Even while illegal in VA, the fine for finding one ($50) is still worth not meeting Bubba.
By the way, what price below MSRP did you get from Patrick? I'm going to Passport as soon as '06 changes are announced!
