Ohh boy, got pulled over again
I've owned this car for just over a month and have gotten pulled over twice now...
First off let me say that I RARELY every speed. It just seems like anytime I do, I get caught. This time, I was cruising through my small college town at around midnight, when the light turned yellow, so I threw it in second took to about 7kRPM and...Oh Shoot (thats not the exact word I used) there was a cop at the intersection. He pulls up beside me at the next stop, rolls down his window and slowly looks at me and says, "If you can't control your vehicle I suggest you don't drive it." And I of course say, "yes sir." And then he sped off. Whew! Got lucky this time.

You're lucky. I've never been given a warning by a cop. Hell, I even got a ticket one time when I was involved in a single vehicle accident and wasn't speeding! The ticket was for "failure to control speed." Yeah, no $#!+. If I had been in control of the car, I wouldn't have gotten into the accident. The judge tossed the ticket. Officer d!ckhead knew it was bogus when he wrote it.

In the 18 years I have been driving i have gotten 2 tickets and at least 25 warnings. The two tickets were for driving without my headlights on when I was 18 when cruising, and 75 in a 55 on 101 in CA. MI never knew about the speeding ticket. I've gotten rather lucky.
The last thing I ever do is punch it to make it through a yellow light. I either stop like I should, slam them on if no one is behind me, or just mosey on through. :D
